Great leaders are clear thinkers, kind communicators and realistic optimists who can guide themselves and their teams through difficult times. They can inspire others, defuse conflict and have tough conversations. They know what they stand for and have a clear plan for their professional lives. They are focussed, not easily distracted and can empower others to work towards goals, take action and manage expectations. They are resilient.

About the Programme
Verve is having the positive energy to manage set-backs and adversity, the mental clarity to guide your decisions and the emotional insight to learn and grow from difficulties.
It is the capacity to adapt, to heal and to thrive in a changing world. That capacity expands and contracts throughout life. Sometime when an event sets us back, we can be rocked, our foundations challenged, our beliefs undone. Having in place strong pillars of physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual resilience through daily practices helps us manage adversity and emerge stronger, smarter and more swiftly.
Lead with V.E.R.V.E is a leadership programme for leaders who want to develop their energy to motivate, their clear leadership purpose, learn how to stay the course, build their empathy and ability to connect to others and communicate their leadership vision to their team. On this course the leader will:
- Assess their resilience levels, and understand how to build more bounce and in what areas.
- Take an Emotional Intelligence assessment to understand how they rate on the 10 key leadership skills. What strengths do you need to use more, what areas are holding you back.
- Learn how to become more self-aware, name the emotions and respond with skill rather than react to situations or people in the moment.
- Understand how to manage fears, focus on goals and deal with conflict.
- Learn why gratitude and mindfulness and powerful tools.

About Barbara Nugent
As a former business leader myself, I understand the challenges of leading with resilience. With over 25 years as a finance executive, leading teams and working in a wide range of organisations, I learned that leadership can be a lonely place, that having a clear idea of the kind of leader I wanted to be wasn’t so easy to articulate and that being extremely busy can lead to lack of focus and overwhelm.
The idea of resilience is far more wide ranging that most people realise. Managing focus, dealing with potential conflict, nurturing your executive presence, developing greater emotional intelligence all lead to greater ability to manage yourself and others. Tuning in to what’s happening with you, how you show up in the world and how you connect with others are all measures of resilience which allow you to lead at a higher level, while still remaining grounded and calm. Resilient leaders have the ability to “bounce” skilfully and deliberately rather than muddle through.

“Barbara was clear from the start that she would not do the work for me and I have to say that was one of the best parts of the programme because I now feel empowered and clear-headed. She has great empathy, which means she knows when to push, when to step back and when to tell a story that shows she understands what I am going through.”
Gillian Hennessey

“In Barbara’s work with four of my colleagues, she opened their eyes to a different way of doing and looking at things. All have grown through the experience, both professionally and personally. I have no doubt that we will avail of Barbara’s skill set again in the near future.”
