Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions and operating a Global Delivery Centre out of Letterkenny in Co. Donegal, Ireland, has been ranked among the 100 most valuable brands worldwide in the Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands 2025 Report. In a special 20th edition ceremony held in New York by Kantar, TCS was accorded a brand value of $57.3 billion with an accelerated 28% year-on-year growth. TCS now ranks #45 globally, in a list that includes the world's most prominent brands across industry sectors. This year's growth marks a sharp acceleration in brand equity, favourability and awareness. In a separate independent brand audit carried out by Momentum-ITSMA, TCS demonstrated 95% aided brand awareness with business executives across 26 countries worldwide, up exponentially from 29% which the same audit polled in 2010. This growth in brand value and equity highlights TCS' sustained brand building efforts, including high-impact global sports partnerships, customer-centric innovation, and consistent marketing excellence. Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ, said, "By drawing on the depth of BrandZ's database over the last quarter of a century, our insights show that with the right level of investment and strategic focus, brands have huge potential to drive growth for their owners. TCS' performance this year demonstrates its ability to innovate at scale with AI capabilities now running through its portfolios. TCS' strategic sponsorship programmes continue to build a strong global presence and community around its brand." TCS' rise in brand value is rooted in its long-term commitment to humanizing technology through experiences that inspire, innovations that transform, and relationships that go the distance. At the centre of this momentum is TCS' sponsorship of 14 global running events, including five of the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors such as the TCS New York City Marathon, TCS London Marathon, and TCS Sydney Marathon. These events engage over 600,000 runners annually and contributed $2.25 billion to local economies in 2024, raising $279 million for charitable causes. The TCS brand also demonstrated a 30-point uplift in brand familiarity and 40-point uplift in brand consideration, the highest improvement amongst all the key sponsors of the sport. Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, TCS, said, "For 20 years Kantar BrandZ has recognised the world's most valuable brands. We congratulate them on this special anniversary edition of their brand excellence platform. Alongside the brand leadership we have in our industry, we are very pleased to see this recognition of the TCS brand amongst the world's most iconic brands across industries. This growth in brand value, awareness and equity has been built on a range of high-impact long term marketing and communications programmes. Building a brand is indeed a marathon, yet I would like to thank all my colleagues in TCS for doing this long run, at the scorching pace of a sprint. Kudos to all of them." From creating the first-ever digital twin heart of a pro-runner to deploying Agentic AI systems that can autonomously reason and act across complex business contexts, TCS continues to shape the future of enterprises and consumer experiences. The company's partnership with Jaguar through the Jaguar TCS Racing Team that competes in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship positions TCS at the intersection of intelligent engineering and sustainable innovation, highlighting the brand's commitment to next-generation experiences that resonate with communities. TCS also continues to be recognized for its strong client partnerships and employer brand. In 2025, TCS was ranked the #1 IT service provider in Europe for customer satisfaction by Whitelane Research. TCS was named a Global Top Employer across more than 30 countries and regions, including North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America, by the Top...

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Margeaux Thomas from Thomas Law Office, who shared her entrepreneurial journey of growing her law firm specialising in "business divorces". Starting from her kitchen table in 2016 with a single client, her firm has grown to a team of nine members over nine years. Thomas discussed the transition to a niche practice, the demand she experienced, particularly during COVID, and the various aspects of building and scaling her business, including the challenges of hiring and the importance of marketing in a non-recurring service industry. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? One of the hardest things in growing a small business is learning to let go and trust others. In the early stages, founders do everything themselves, but real growth requires delegation—handing off control, hiring the right people, and stepping back from daily operations to focus on strategy. As Margeaux Thomas shared on the podcast, bringing on a managing attorney and leaning into growth and marketing instead of staying in every case was a major shift. It's also tough to manage cash flow, hire well (especially for remote teams), say no to misaligned clients—which she calls "the best money we never made"—and keep believing in your vision before it becomes reality. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Margeaux Thomas mentioned that the business book that helped her the most is The Personal Assistant Advantage. It inspired her to hire a personal assistant, which turned out to be a game-changer. She shared how it helped her offload life admin tasks so she could focus on being present with her family and grow her firm—saying her assistant is better at it than she is and actually loves the work. For Margeaux, that support created space for her to lead more effectively and avoid burnout. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Margeaux Thomas shared that the most impactful learning resource for her has been business coaching—both group and one-on-one. She said it's been the best investment she's made since starting her firm. Coaching gave her clarity, accountability, and someone to help her “see around corners.” As for podcasts, she previously listened to Maximum Lawyer, especially in the early stages of growing her law firm. While that podcast has since evolved, it played a big role in her initial professional development. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Margeaux Thomas recommends having a great bookkeeper as one of the most important tools to help grow a small business. She admits that numbers and finance aren't her strength, so bringing on a solid bookkeeper early helped her stay focused on what she does best—building the business, serving clients, and leading her team. It gave her the clarity and confidence to make smarter business decisions without getting overwhelmed by the financial side. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Margeaux Thomas said if she could give herself advice on day one of starting her business, it would be to reassure herself that this is the best decision she'll ever make. Despite the fear and uncertainty she felt when leaving her job with no clients lined up, she emphasized that she never looked back and is incredibly grateful she took that leap. She'd remind herself not to catastrophize the risk—because even if it didn't work out, she could always get another job. Taking that first step was the hardest, but it led to the most rewarding journey of her life. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

Interview by Kris PetersHe may have been taken from us far too soon, but the legacy and memory of guitar great Randy Rhoads will live forever. Rhoads' name is revered in the music world, where, for a period from the late 1970s through to the early 1980s, his playing and presence left a shadow of brilliance that is as strong today as it was back then.The virtuoso guitarist, who co-founded Quiet Riot and propelled Ozzy Osbourne's solo career with Blizzard of Ozz (1980) and Diary of a Madman (1981), remains one of heavy metal's most important figures. Before his untimely death in 1982 at just 25, Rhoads redefined guitar-driven rock, blending classical influences with blistering metal to pioneer the neoclassical metal subgenre. His iconic riffs, featured in timeless songs such as Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley, and innovative techniques, including two-handed tapping, vibrato bar dive bombs, and intricate scales, set a new standard for the 80s metal scene and inspired countless guitarists.Recognised with a 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Rhoads' legacy endures as a cornerstone of heavy metal evolution, with his signature Jackson Rhoads guitar symbolizing his revolutionary impact. To most of this current generation and beyond, the life and music of Randy Rhoads will always be that of past reflection, unable to bear witness to the great man on stage with precious little preserved on camera or film.But this December, thanks to XMusic, fans can get as close to the glory days of guitar as possible when A TRIBUTE TO RANDY RHOADS - The Stories and Music Behind the Legend - hits this country for a performance that includes live renditions of Rhoads' finest moments as well as an in-depth Q&A session. This is more than just a tribute performance, with Rhoads' long-time friend, confidant and co-founder of Quiet Riot, Kelly Garni, heading the evening alongside Rhoads' first-ever guitar teacher, Scott Shelley.It promises to be an unforgettable celebration of Randy Rhoads - a true guitar legend - whose influence still resonates in every power chord and soaring solo played today. HEAVY had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Garni ahead of the tour, and among the topics of conversation was the sheer magnitude of putting together and the need for a performance of this scale."I don't pursue these things," he stressed. "People come to me, and they ask me to do them. There's a very, very large fan base for Randy Rhoads, and pretty much I'm the last man standing (laughs). Of course, I don't have Kevin (Dubrow, vocalist), who I sure do miss. Although if you read my book, you wouldn't believe that in a million years, but boy do I miss him. He was a great, great guide for me, and I learned a real lot from Kevin. But anyway, I've been approached several times, and I've been all around the country over the last few years here in America, and now Japan twice. People want anything left of Randy, and I guess I'm what you get. It's an honour to represent my best friend. Of course, anybody would do that for their best friend, if they're any kind of a friend. And so, since people are so excited to hear that music again, I happily oblige and go and do these shows."Garni had many tales to tell, among them how Alice Cooper shaped much of what was to eventually become the sound of Quiet Riot, albeit without having ever met the two impressionable youths."When we saw Cooper, we said we're gonna be rock stars, whether anybody likes it or not," he smiled. "And you know, in my mind, Randy did, but I never really did. And I never really wanted to. And that's okay because things had changed over the years to where I didn't want to be in the music business any more, but because of my association with Randy, I find myself very heavily involved (laughs). And I gotta say, to see and meet all the fans who come to these shows is really, really something that makes you feel good in your heart and your soul."In the full interview, Kelly addressed the excitement among fans and the importance of celebrating Rhoads' legacy, highlighting the involvement of key figures from Randy's early career to enhance the authenticity of the tribute. He spoke about the rest of the band, including musicians from Snake Bite Whiskey and the Van Halen tribute band Van Hager, along with a Q&A session featuring Scott Shelley, Randy's first guitar teacher. We spoke about the Q&A session and the personal nature of the questions and how emotional it could get.Reflecting on his and Randy's musical journeys, Kelly shared insights into their early influences and the challenges they faced, including Randy's struggles with confidence and vocal abilities. He recounted the band's evolution, including a misguided image overhaul that led them to adopt a look that felt disconnected from their original sound. We also spoke about important moments of Randy's life and the impression he left on others, including Kelly, the ever-lasting legacy left behind by his untimely death and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

It's International Women's Day! And with the UN Chief declaring we're seeing the 'mainstreaming of misogyny' we're examining how real, passionate and tireless action leads to monumental change for women.Lawyer, advocate, survivor and Dharug woman Karen Iles joins the discussion as we examine the significant recommendations handed down by the Australian Law Reform Commission this week that could seriously change things for victim-survivors of sexual assault, the majority of whom are women.Less than 1 per cent of perpetrators are ever held as solicitors and advocates for victims/survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, leveraging her legal expertise and public platform to drive systemic change.The ALRC found that with one in five women and one in 16 men experiencing sexual violence since the age of 15, fewer than one in ten such incidents are reported to police. From there, 75 to 85 per cent of such reports do not proceed to charges, and even fewer go to court.

Mutuality-the Future of Trust: The Executive's Handbook, Enabling Mutuality to Cognitively Transform Organisations In today's organizations and society, two major challenges stand out: declining trust and the need to adapt to increasing complexity. Research highlights a shift from judgment and dependability to relational trust, built on mutuality—principles fostering deep social bonds through care, support, and shared responsibility. True mutuality requires cognitive evolution, not just behavioral change. After two decades of research, we've identified six archetypes that hinder relational trust, limiting safe and productive workplaces. This book offers practical strategies to navigate challenges, drive transformation, and boost organizational effectiveness.   Matthew Byrne is a University of Technology Sydney and Harvard graduate and works with the Australian Graduate School of Management as adjunct faculty and Program Director of the iconic General Manager's program. Matthew specialises in aligning personal strategies with corporate aspirations, equipping executives to envision and seize value through innovative leadership. He empowers leaders to navigate economic challenges proactively, optimising financial and human capital for enhanced organisational success. Matthew has been collaborating with Denis Jenkins for over 15 years in corporate education and helping dysfunctional corporations engage their people to better build corporate trust and move managers from process-thinking to strategic-thinking. Denis Jenkins is a pioneering figure in the field of neuroplasticity, known for his innovative approach to transforming neuropathways through cognitive training. Beginning his career as an educator in the Australian school system, his passion for helping students with learning difficulties unlock their full potential led him to collaborate with Helga Rowe from the Max Planck Institute in pioneering advancements in learning acceleration and understanding learning dysfunction. Recognised with the Australian Centennial Medal for his significant contributions to learning and behavioural change, Denis continues to work with individuals ranging from high school students to CEOs, empowering disadvantaged learners to become effective leaders in both communities and organisations. The executive leadership blueprint in building trust and strong organisational cultures is the foundation of his work. To learn more about the authors and their work visit: https://mutualitythefutureoftrust.com/ TOPICS OF CONVERSATION The Shift from Transactional to Relational Trust Traditional workplace trust is based on performance and dependability, but lasting success requires relational trust—building genuine connections, fostering vulnerability, and enabling open communication. Without relational trust, commitment and collaboration suffer. Mutuality is the Key to Trust (Not the Other Way Around) Organizations struggle to build trust because they focus on measuring it rather than creating it. Mutuality—shared understanding and support—lays the foundation for trust. Leaders should start conversations about mutuality instead of trust, as the latter can be polarizing. Cognitive Development Shapes Workplace Relationships Trust and mutuality depend on how people process information. Organizations often fail because they overlook cognitive differences in problem-solving and decision-making. Leaders must recognize and support these differences to create effective, cohesive teams. Mutuality Requires Intentionality, Especially in Remote Work The pandemic proved that mutuality strengthens teams, but remote work removes the informal moments that naturally build trust. Leaders must deliberately foster mutuality by understanding who their employees are, not just what they do. Workplace Structures and Policies Can Undermine Trust Many corporate policies and hierarchies are built on distrust, delegating tasks without granting authority. Instead of enforcing rigid structures, organizations should prioritize mutuality—encouraging responsibility, diverse thinking, and proactive problem-solving.

Clare County Council is set to write to the Government to request that Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is officially recognised as a disability. The HSE estimates that up to 7.5% of the population are living with the condition, which occurs when parental exposure to alcohol affects the developing brain and body of children in the womb. The headquarters of FASD Ireland is based on O'Connell Street in Ennis and elected representatives will now receive a workshop so they can better inform constituents about the disorder and supports available. Shannon Banks Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan says the lack of disability status has become a barrier to clinical treatment.

How can we measure impact and outcomes from social programmes that work for business? Our Social Impact Pioneer today believes that ESG initiatives need a unified impact measurement scale – impact per dollar. Meet Gilad Tanay, Founder and Chairperson of the ERI Institute. “Impact per Dollar gives investors a tangible percentage figure or impact unit of a particular initiative, i.e. how many people lifted from poverty per $10k invested.” Says Gilad. Gilad founded the ERI - which stands for the Effective Research for Impact – and that is what they do. ERI is a pioneering research organisation dedicated to identifying and maximising “Impact per Dollar” in philanthropy, ESG investing, with business and global development initiatives. With a background spanning academia and high-impact consulting, Gilad's work has informed strategies for governments, major NGOs, and philanthropic funds worldwide. Before establishing ERI, Gilad co-founded and served as a director of Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP) and lectured on the Global Justice Programme at Yale University. Recognised for his insights on global inequality and poverty alleviation (including a TEDx talk at Yale – see below for links), Gilad left a traditional academic career to solve tangible, high-stakes problems. His approach centres on creating unified, evidence-based impact measurement frameworks—tools that empower investors, companies, and donors to truly understand the return on their social investments. In this conversation, we'll unpack why the current ESG landscape often fails to deliver systemic change, and how “impact per dollar” can revolutionise social impact. Gilad discusses how unified metrics—similar to a financial ROI—let funders identify which initiatives genuinely lift communities out of poverty. He highlights the importance of direct cash transfers, skill-building programs, and fair labour practices to break the poverty trap, emphasising that businesses can become powerful agents of change when they address root causes rather than apply superficial fixes. Get ready for a thought-provoking dialogue on aligning profits with purpose, the urgent need for standardised impact metrics, and how the business sector can seize its unique position to tackle the world's most devastating poverty-related diseases and inequalities. If you've ever wondered how to make social impact capital more transformative, this episode is your roadmap to higher-impact social investments.

In the second episode of the series Navigating Hostile Environments, Julia is joined by Autumn Phillips, a veteran journalist and newspaper editor with over 20 years of experience. Autumn reflects on the challenges of leading in the high-pressure, male-dominated world of newsrooms. She shares how her leadership journey was shaped by the need to prove herself to skeptical teams while navigating the "glass cliff" phenomenon—an environment where women are often given opportunities only in undesirable or failing roles. "By definition, being the editor of a newspaper means you're in a toxic environment whenever you walk into a newsroom. You're not just handed respect; you have to earn it every day," says Autumn. Autumn discusses how she overcame the "man up culture" of her early career and learned to lead authentically by balancing empathy with decisiveness. She highlights the importance of fostering trust, creating spaces for constructive dialogue, and being fully present for her team. Listen to this episode to find learnings for anyone striving to lead with integrity and resilience in environments that test their limits.

Have you ever wondered how scammers succeed? What tempts people to fall into their traps, and how can we protect ourselves? Today, I’m excited to dive into this topic with my incredible friend, mentor, and business coach, Mike Johnston. This is part one of a very special three-part series on scams—a topic that’s deeply personal for me, because I was scammed. This series was recorded months ago. At the time, I wasn’t even sure I had been scammed. A whirlwind of revelations followed, including legal proceedings involving the individual who scammed me, someone operating under the names Tiffany Black or Tiffany Bentley. Authorities now believe many other victims have yet to come forward. If you think this sounds familiar or know you’ve been affected, please contact the Tweed Heads Police Station in Australia to share your story. Scammers thrive on silence, and by speaking out, we can prevent others from becoming victims. In this episode, Mike and I share our personal experiences with scams, along with valuable insights and strategies for protecting yourself. We’ve also included updates on how to spot common scams and ways to avoid emotional traps. If you have been a victim too, let me remind you: it’s not your fault and you are not alone. Scammers are skilled at making you feel to blame. And to those who may be engaging in harmful practices, I urge you to reconsider, the ripple effects of your actions are far-reaching. So grab a cup of tea or coffee, settle in, and enjoy this candid conversation. Let’s learn, grow, and move forward together. Without further ado, here’s Mike Johnston.
