Pádraig O’Tuama is a renowned leader, poet, philosopher, theologian, TEDx speaker and author of several books. In this very warm-hearted and insightful conversation, we discuss;

  • The space between intention and impact as a leader,
  • Ensuring your gestures have substances,
  • The poem, Shaking hands, which he wrote as a reflection on the event of Queen Elizabeth II and Martin McGuinness, Leader of Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland and former IRA Commander publicly shaking hands in 2012,
  • The nature of conflict in organisations,
  • What he means by ‘the quality of fighting’,
  • and addressing the difficult question of, ‘what is my real position here?’

Changing the plot. Ensuring your intentions have substance.
