What a stellar line-up of speakers we had to kick off 2025: Pendulum Summit Speakers. The Pendulum Summit was held last week in Dublin's Convention Centre on the 8th and 9th of January. Reviewed by Marie-Clare Byard @NowMediaLive. This annual event brings together both local and international speakers from diverse fields, including psychology, technology, sport, military, AI, futurism, and more. Running for over a decade, it was founded by Irish former professional rugby star Frankie Sheahan and his wife, Norma Sheahan. Nick Santonastasso - Overcoming Challenges - Personal Growth Nick was born with a rare genetic disorder, Hanhart Syndrome, leaving him with no legs and only one arm. He was the 12th baby in medical history with this diagnosis. Growing up in New York City, he endured being called names like "cripple" and "freak" and was told he would never amount to anything. At 14, he contemplated suicide but found strength in fitness, bodybuilding and wrestling, an extraordinary choice given his physique. He moved to Florida to pursue wrestling, he joined a gym, was invited to a mastermind group and went along, curious to see what it was about, here he connected with his now business partner. At just 28, Nick had no idea who Tony Robbins was when his business partner promised to get him on stage with Robbins. Today, Nick is based in Dubai, motivating global audiences and working alongside Tony Robbins. As Nick says, "You are the sum of the people you surround yourself with." https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876933342228095333 Ray Nolan - Entrepreneurship Ray Nolan left school at 16, taught himself coding, and became a software expert. Observing the cumbersome process of booking hostels, he invested €100,000 to develop Hostelworld, which eventually sold for just over €200 million. Not content to rest, Ray was back at work a week later. He pitched a bid to buy Skyscanner, but the deal didn't happen. Ray was later invited by the 3 owners to join Skyscanner as Chairman to help them exit. His secret? Informal pub chats with each founder to understand their true goals for the business and in life, he helped grow an initial $30 million offer to a $1.8 billion sale. His mantra? "Make it easy to buy." https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876968516416311549 Dr. Heather McKee - Behavioural Psychology "Happiness is the key to long-term success," said Dr Heather McKee. Combining academic research with practical insights, she helps people build sustainable habits. Her advice: "Create a joy list" and layer habits onto moments of joy. She insists, "There's no secret ingredient. You are the only one who can change your habits." Ask her about habits, and she'll dive deeper than you've ever seen. https://x.com/Irish_TechNews/status/1876999939009482764 Jimmy Carr - Humour in Leadership Jimmy's talk was as edgy as expected. He remarked that the cause of "woke culture" is the overproduction of elite schools! He advocated teaching storytelling in schools to help people find their authentic voice. "The shortest distance between two people is a laugh," he said. He also reflected on the pain of being cancelled, he observed, "It's not the words of your enemies, but the silence of your friends" that cuts deepest. We are tribal and need to come together. Show the world who you are, not shouting affirmations in the mirror! Give empathy and agency to both those you like and don't like. Dr. Lollie Mancey, Anthropologist, future readiness "Knowledge is not in deficit, but be cautious about what you outsource to AI," advised Dr Lollie Mancey. She emphasised that our brains, like our bodies, need regular exercise. "If you don't use it, you lose it." Dr Mancey highlighted our growing dependence on technology, noting that losing our smartphone triggers the same "fight or flight" response as a physical threat, underscoring the emotional impact, when viewed under a brain scan. Our brains are now deeply intertwined with our smartphones! On AI, she mentioned t...

The Pendulum Summit is an event which has been running since 2014, that aims to empower people in the business. For the first time, one of their events will be going virtual. I spoke with Aoife Dorgan, one of the collaborators for the Pendulum Summit, about what can be expected from this year’s event that will be taking place on the 27th of November 2020. Pendulum summit: First virtual event Firstly we discussed the origins of the event to get a sense of what the events about: ” The Pendulum Summit has been running since 2014 with in-person events in Dublin and New York. This is our first time creating a virtual event. Every year, Pendulum takes place in the iconic setting of the Convention Centre Dublin in Ireland. Its first year (2014) welcomed 600 delegates, a figure which rose to 7,000+ across two-days in 2020. Visionaries who have taken to the stage include Sir Richard Branson, Colin Farrell, Deepak Chopra MD, Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Jo Malone MBE, Lord Sugar, John Cleese, Baroness Michelle Mone OBE, Robin Sharma, Randi Zuckerberg, and Bear Grylls – to name a few”. We spoke of how the concept for the event came into fruition: “Former professional Rugby player Frankie Sheahan and experienced Events Director and Life Coach Norma Sheahan share an unshakable passion for empowering people and business. The husband and wife duo founded Pendulum Summit in 2014 with the goal of empowering individuals to maximise their potential in business and life”. In terms of what people can look forward to, Aofie gave a detailed description of what can be expected: “This virtual event will allow you to experience the magic, expertise, and inspiration of Pendulum from any device, in any time zone, in any language, country, or location around the world. For our brand new virtual event in typical Pendulum fashion, we will be bringing together some of the biggest names to deliver some thought-provoking and inspiring talks on topics relevant to the times ahead including business agility, perseverance, remote leadership, bounce-back ability, self-motivation & well-being”. She spoke at length about what the opportunities available for those wishing to attend: “Recent global disruption has left a trail of destruction especially for our most important resource, our people, and teams. We propose a solution to keep yourself and your core team engaged, motivated, and driven to tackle the burning issues that are causing this disruption. The event is open to a worldwide audience which gives all participants the opportunity to virtually network, connect and form new relationships with like-minded individuals and businesses from around the globe in our virtual networking and exhibition areas”. Before we finished, Aoife provided me an outline of how attendees can make the most of their virtual experience: “What tips would you give to people attending to get the most out of it? Clear your mind and embrace the day and opportunity that is presented. Clear your workspace from any distractions to ensure you can really listen and absorb the information shared. Take notes as you go. Take the time to log-in a few minutes earlier to familiarise yourself with the platform and all that is available to you. Make sure to participate in the exercises and to check out the virtual networking and exhibition areas”. Tickets can be purchased from the Pendulum Summit website- www.pendulumsummit.com.
