Brendan Foley – #1 Bestselling Author, Keynote Speaker, Business & Life Coach, Inspirational Strategist & International Sailing Champion
I live in Dublin, Ireland with my wife Sarah, our three children and two dogs. When not helping people through my business Seachange Now, I am most likely to found taxiing my kids to various sports and trying to fit in some sailing!
Commercial Background
I am Managing Director of Seachange Now, one of Ireland’s leading corporate coaching and training business. I started the company in 2006 after a life changing event. Prior to this I held director level positions in advertising, marketing, sales worked in sectors stretching from technology, charities, new-media to mainstream advertising. I am an award winner across many sectors and I have won advertising industry ‘Sharks’ and twice placed in the DeLoitte & Touche Technology Fast 50 awards.
Best Selling Author
I am a regular contributor on the topic of leadership and personal and professional development, to various institutes and journals including ‘Accountancy Ireland’, ‘Running Your Business’ and the ‘Volvo Ocean Race Magazine’ to mention but a few. I am the bestselling author of The Yin Yang Complex (Mercier Press 2010) and The 5 States of Success (Mercier Press 2011). The 5 States of Success is an amazon.co.uk #1 bestseller.
Qualifications
Sporting Success
As a sailor I have represented Ireland many times at World and European Championships. With my crew have been British and French National Champions and came second in the World Championships. I am still an active sailor at amateur level. I combine my business experience and sporting insight to help others achieve their full potential.
Motivational speaking
As an in-demand motivational speaker I have spoken to diverse groups through Ireland, the UK and across Europe helping to motivate and inspire sales, finance, health care professionals, athletes and many other groups. I have shared the stage with Alastair Campbell (Labour), Bill Cullen (The Apprentice), Gavin Duffy (Dragon’s Den) and many more eminent speakers. My style is upbeat, entertaining and interactive.
