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...

In this episode, Stuart King and Dr Tiago Moutela, have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Heather McKee. Heather is a known leading lifestyle behaviour change specialist and keynote speaker, with a background in health behaviour change psychology.Heather is on a mission to provide sustainable, evidenced based alternatives to an industry saturated by quick fixes and fads.Crediting her natural curiosity and “following her nose”, Heather's career spans the many possible applications of a specialism in behavioural science.Starting out her academic journey at Dublin City University, Heather completed a masters at Loughborough University in the psychology of physical activity, and has spent time lecturing at St Mary's University, Twickenham. She has worked in the community on behaviour change initiatives, with charities, and now consults to large corporations, with a particular passion for companies in digital health.Heather's career has not followed a linear path, but her exposure to these different working environments has allowed her to translate her academic learnings into real life settings. Through her varied experiences, Heather has developed her own professional confidence which has led to her own brand of teaching behavioural science, focussed on helping people have fun whilst learning how this can be applied in their setting.Heather offers practical examples of the ways in which she brings behavioural science learning to life with new audiences and supports them to develop individual intrinsic motivation before beginning work with them at an organisational level.A must-listen for anyone on a “squiggly career” in the wonderful world of behavioural science!

In the Bite Size Moments mini series, I'll be sharing some of my favourite moments from the Live Well, Be Well podcast. In today's bite size moment, Dr. Heather McKee discusses why dieting doesn't always lead to weight loss and how intrinsic goals are a better method to success. Full episode: "The Secret to Creating Healthy Habits for Good with Dr. Heather McKee" Listen to the full episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ADZeklSaOvOMEvLU4MYOD?si=IM_DATq9RZ2O_3XMtyltTQ&nd=1 Show Notes: Host: @sarahannmacklin | www.sarahannmacklin.com Mental Health support: @be_well_collective | www.bewellcollective.co.uk
Dr. Heather McKee is Europe's leading lifestyle behaviour change specialist. With over 10 years in academia, her work has been published in world-leading research journals as well as over 300 media articles such as Vogue, Time magazine, and The Times. In this episode, we talk about how habits are made, how they can be changed, and the difference between willpower and skill power. We also uncover some myths about changing habits that have been going around for quite some time.
Dr. Heather McKee is a behaviour change specialist and international keynote speaker. She has had several of her papers published looking at why we do, or don't, do what we do. She talks to Clare about why developing skill power over willpower will always go further. Dietician Orla Walsh joins Clare to talk about her experience of migraines and how sometimes we can mis-read the triggers. And psychotherapist Owen O'Kane was on the show a couple of years back talking about how ten minutes a day can really improve your mental health. He joins Clare to discuss his latest book 'How to Be Your Own Therapist'.
Have you ever wondered why is it so difficult to stick to our goals? And more importantly, what can we do about it? To find out, I sat down with Dr. Heather McKee, the UK's leading lifestyle behavior change specialist. During the course of our conversation, she went through the process of how to successfully change your habits. Here are the three main takeaways: 1. Find a powerful reason for you to change The first step is to find a powerful reason for you to change. And it has to be a reason that benefits you, not someone else. For example, if you're trying to lose weight, your reason might be to improve your health or feel more confident in your own skin. 2. Find habits that are enjoyable The second step is to find habits that are enjoyable and not just punishment. If you're trying to eat healthier, for instance, focus on adding in more fruits and vegetables instead of cutting out all of your favorite foods. 3. Focus on the process, not some arbitrary goal The third and final step is to focus on the process and not some arbitrary goal. In other words, don't focus on losing 10 pounds, focus on making healthier choices each and every day. So if you're struggling to stick to your goals, remember these three steps: find a powerful reason for you to change, find habits that are enjoyable, and focus on the process.

You know you should get healthy, you even want it, but you fail to do it. The truth is, you're not even lazy. Like most people, you're struggling to pinpoint why you can't do what you know you should – like saving money or getting in your devotional. This post has the answers you've been looking for to answer the nagging question, why can't I do what I know I need to do? The answer is, you're human. I know that doesn't help you and it's certainly not intended to be an excuse. But it's the truth. It's human nature to reject change, even good change, because change is scary. At least to your body and your mind. It's the pattern of survival, to stay stuck doing the things that have kept you alive even if they're not the best for you. Things that your body has grown used to and created around. But also because some of these actions induce a reward, at least temporarily. In either case, it makes change appear harder than it is, leaving you running for the temporary fix. It's why we run to the candy stash mid-afternoon when we're feeling a bit tired and overwhelmed. Or why you feel like you deserve that midnight ice-cream binge. It's why you reset your alarm, allowing you to sleep in rather than wake up and move. On some level, your body is exhausted, and the best place to get a boost, even temporarily, is from an immediate reward. But it doesn't have to stay this way. You can do the things you know you should, the things you want to, but it has to be done with a different twist. Inside this podcast, I interviewed a behavior change specialist, Dr. Heather McKee. Dr. Mckee's work focuses on habit formation to help people make lasting change using research-driven methods to find freedom and joy in their healthy habits. She answers your nagging question, why can't I do what I know I need to do? And it's one to listen to. Learn more: https://thelivingwell.com/245

In Episode 172, Dr. Heather McKee and I discuss bite sized habits and so much more around creating healthy habits. She is the UK's leading lifestyle behaviour change specialist.
My guest is Heather McKee, author of ARE WE THE 99%? The Occupy Movement, Feminism, and Intersectionality. September 2021 marked the tenth anniversary of Occupy Wall Street a protest movement against economic inequality that began in New York City's Wall Street financial district. With the protestors coming from diverse backgrounds, Hurwitz considers how women, people of color, and gender queer activists struggled to be heard and understood within the movement. Despite cries of “we are the 99%”problems with racism, sexism, and discrimination due to sexuality and class persisted within the movement. Using first-hand accounts of activists' experiences, online communications and media coverage of the movement, Hurwitz reveals lessons gleaned from the conflicts within Occupy. Heather McKee Hurwitz is a Lecturer of Sociology and feminist scholar at Case Western Reserve University and a Visiting Researcher at the Cleveland Clinic. Diverse Voices Book Review is hosted and produced by Hopeton Hay. Its theme music was created, produced, and performed by Wright Productions.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Heather McKee Hurwitz to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss her new book ARE WE THE 99%?
Dr Heather McKee's fascination with human behaviour began from a young age. Combining with her love for being outdoors, grew into her interest in health sciences, and led her to resign from a solid job, step out of her comfort zone, and go out on her own! She wanted to understand why well-intentioned people with all the resources they needed couldn't stick to their healthy habit goals! So, she sat down with each person in the clinic to understand more about what was holding them back. Heather is now a leading lifestyle behaviour change specialist—supporting businesses to design exceptional, long-term, wellness programmes that deliver on positive health outcomes. Having studied health behaviour change psychology for 10 years, her mission is to offer a sustainable, evidence-based alternative to an industry saturated with quick fixes and health fads. And she has some good news to share with you about creating healthy (lasting!) habits in your life. Hint: It's does NOT need to be hard. We cover: •Why intrinsic motivation is best; •Why goals are only a snapshot and what to set instead; •Creating super small and achievable steps to success; and •Following your inner joy.

This time of year, we're all setting goals for the year and New Year's resolutions, but how can we make sure these actually stick? That's where the power of building lasting, sustainable habits comes in, which is what Behaviour Change Specialist, Dr Heather McKee, and I are chatting all about in this week's episode.
A lot of us find it really hard to change our deeply ingrained habits, whether it's giving up a habit that's bad for our health or our concentration, or trying to adopt a new habit. So I was glad to have this conversation with Dr. Heather McKee, who is a behaviour change specialist, consulting to organisations. This is a really honest conversation between Heather and me, where we talk through some of our own bad habits, and Heather gave some cracking advice on how to change them.

Do you struggle with your willpower and the all-or-nothing cycle? Are you tired of being promised overnight results? Are you confused about what works best to build lifelong healthy habits? In Episode 25 I interview the incredible Dr Heather McKee who is a habit coach and health behaviour change specialist who supports people to build healthy habits that last a lifetime. We live in a society that perpetuates these ideals of unsustainable overnight transformations and quick fixes, which can leave ordinary people feeling like they're failing. As Dr McKee explains, living a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be cruel or punishing. In this brilliant conversation, Heather shares the specific techniques you can implement to find healthy lifelong habits that that you actually enjoy. In this episode we cover: - Why your environment is far more influential than willpower or discipline - How to identify your habit “triggers” and quit the binge-restrict cycle - Why your values are fundamental to creating lasting habits and joy - Why you should stop restricting and start replacing - Finding the wisdom behind your cravings and compulsions - The reason why diets and body shaming do NOT create long-term well-being - The relationship between self-kindness and behaviour change - How to create long-term, nourishment through your choices - The key techniques for making healthy changes DISCOVER MORE ABOUT AMY >>>>>>>> Insta - @thisisamyrushworth Website - amyrushworth.com FREE ABUNDANCE BUNDLE - https://amy-rushworth.mykajabi.com/the-abundance-bundle Join Amy's OA Membership - https://amyrushworth.com/orgasmic-ascension Discover Dr Heather McKee >>>>>>>> Heather's website: https://www.drheathermckee.co.uk/ HUGE THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR, THE HAPPINESS PLANNER.
