Network Ireland West Cork will kick off 2026 with an inspiring evening event taking place on Thursday January 15th at 7pm at The Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen.

Empower Your Year: Building Strong Foundations for Success & Wellbeing is designed to help women start the year with clarity, confidence and intention.

The event will feature two powerful talks exploring how both our external environment and internal mindset shape how we live, work and grow.

Practical, uplifting and highly relevant for the year ahead, Empower Your Year offers real tools to support sustainable success and wellbeing.

The evening will bring together two expert speakers. Vera Keohane (pictured right), founder of Enjoy Your Home and Ireland’s first certified KonMari consultant, will explore how our physical surroundings directly influence energy, focus and performance.

Vera will share practical insights on creating spaces - at home and at work - that support clarity, productivity and calm.

Jennie McGinn (far right), brand and strategy consultant and award-winning speaker, will focus on the power of mindset.

Through an engaging and practical approach, Jennie will examine the habits, beliefs and inner narratives that shape how we show up, offering guidance on aligning mindset with ambitions for 2026.

Ahead of her first event as president, Anna Groniecka of Network Ireland West Cork said: ‘January is a time when many women reassess how they want to work and live. Empower Your Year is about creating strong internal and external foundations so women can move into 2026 feeling supported, focused and confident in what’s ahead.’

Tickets are free for Network Ireland members, €25 for non-members.
