Louise van Haast and Alice Driscoll, co-authors of Smart Conflict: How to Have Hard Conversations at Work, join Cathal in-studio for a masterclass in navigating workplace conflict.This is our first in-studio episode with 4-camera setup - and it looks stunning.If you've ever avoided a difficult conversation, taken feedback too personally, or struggled to speak up at work, this episode is for you.IN THIS EPISODE:- Where their passion for conflict work began- How they met and decided to write a book together- The two main conflict styles: harmony-seeking vs goal-focused- "Get curious, not furious" - the principle that changes everything- Alice's story: "Feedback isn't that I don't like you"- Ripcord phrases to exit conversations gracefully- Louise's lesson: "Just because you're good at it doesn't mean you enjoy it"- The Conflict Style Quiz (both individual and team)- Practical scripts for hard conversationsKEY INSIGHTS:"Get curious, not furious. Whether you're someone who avoids conflict or someone who charges straight in, this principle applies. When you notice you're getting furious, pause and get curious instead." - Louise and Alice"Every time I heard feedback, I was collapsing it into 'you're not good enough.' Then someone finally said: 'You know this feedback isn't that I don't like you, right?' It was a light bulb moment." - Alice Driscoll"Just because you're really good at something doesn't mean you enjoy it. And just because other people think you should keep pursuing it doesn't mean you should have to." - Louise van Haast"I wasn't expecting to have this conversation. I need some time to reflect so I can give you a considered response." - Ripcord phrase for exiting conversationsABOUT LOUISE VAN HAAST AND ALICE DRISCOLL:Louise van Haast and Alice Driscoll are executive coaches, conflict specialists, and co-authors of Smart Conflict.

FOOTBALL: Maigh Cuilinn manager Cathal Clancy with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins after their Connacht SFC Final defeat to St. Brigid's

A listener on a graduate program asks: "I'm not learning what I expected. The role feels narrow. I want to be an entrepreneur. What should I do?"Cathal and Annette tackle this question with practical advice that applies to ANYONE feeling stuck in a narrow role, not just graduates.Plus: Cathal shares what it was like meeting Dermot Kennedy (and whether he lived up to expectations).IN THIS EPISODE:- Why large organisations are "friend factories"- The 5 things to do when your role feels limiting- How to use "easy" time for work-life balance- Side hustles vs full-time entrepreneurship- Getting involved in company-wide projects- Why you won't know what you learned until later- Meeting Dermot Kennedy: Did he live up to expectations?- The Tig Notaro/Taylor Dayne story everyone should hearANNETTE'S 5 PIECES OF ADVICE:When your job feels too narrow or not challenging enough:1. Find your people - Your workplace is a "friend factory." Build friendships that create belonging and resilience.2. Use the time wisely - If work is easy, use that space for work-life balance, volunteering, or building future skills.3. Reflect deeply - Name exactly what frustrates you, then counter it with innovation projects or improvements.4. Find mentors/coaches - Shadow people, join employee action groups, get guidance from those ahead of you.5. Give it time - You won't know what you learned until you're in your next role. Patience reveals the value.CATHAL'S ADVICE:- Talk to your manager about getting involved in company-wide projects- Consider a side hustle on weekends (test entrepreneurial ideas)- Join internal committees (People Development, Innovation, etc.)- Give it a year before making big decisions- Be proud you got the role - grad programs are incredibly competitiveKEY INSIGHTS:"Your workplace is a friend factory. Spend time finding your people and making friends at work. Those friendships build belonging, purpose, and resilience when the day-to-day isn't energising you." - Annette"You probably won't really know what you've learned from this time until the future comes and you go, 'I grew there, I learned about myself.'" - Annette"Give it a year. You're already six months in. Talk to your manager, get involved in other projects, maybe do a side hustle on weekends." - CathalRESOURCES:Website: betteratwork.netInstagram: @betteratworkSubmit Your Question: betteratwork.netABOUT BETTER AT WORK:Making your work life be

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by guitarist and songwriter Cathal Mac Gabhann from Cork alt-rock and shoegaze outfit The Altered Hours — one of Ireland's most vital underground bands. The Altered Hours released their self-titled third album on November 7th via Pizza Pizza Records. Recorded to tape by analogue producer Julie McLarnon (New Order, Lankum, Happy Mondays), the album captures the band at their most raw, warm, and emotionally direct. Formed in 2010, the band have carved out a unique place in the European alternative scene through two albums, a run of EPs, and a reputation for immersive, fuzz-drenched live shows. Their independent spirit has earned them admiration from peers and fans alike. Cathal discusses the band's evolution, the creative shift behind the new record, and how recording to tape has brought out their most dynamic sound yet. He also reflects on touring with Fontaines D.C., playing venues like The Bataclan and Alexandra Palace, and stepping in as their live guitarist across Japan and Australia. Now signed to Pizza Pizza Records, The Altered Hours step confidently into a new phase — honouring their psych-rock roots while pushing into bolder, more atmospheric territory. Listen to Cathal Mac Gabhann discuss the making of the new album, the journey behind it, and where The Altered Hours go next — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

Two of Connacht football's top teams this decade collide this Sunday (30th November 2025) in the AIB provincial senior football final when Galway champions Maigh Cuilinn meet Roscommon kingpins St. Brigid's, managed by former Galway hurling boss Anthony Cunningham. Maigh Cuilinn were winners in 2022, while their Kiltoom opponents picked up the Shane McGettigan Cup the following year.  Roscommon sides have won three of their last four encounters with Galway clubs, but the west Galway side did beat Strokestown three years ago. Leading up to the game, Maigh Cuilinn manager Cathal Clancy has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Throw-in at King & Moffat Dr. Hyde Park on Sunday is 1pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.
