keynote speakers
Caroline Casey “The greatest limit is the six inches between our ears” Founder of the not-for-profit organisation Kanchi and its pioneering social franchise The Ability Awards, serial social entrepreneur Caroline Casey is driving societal change aimed at nothing less than a complete reframing of disability. Central to her and Kanchi’s approach is the idea that as a powerful, all-pervasive influence in society, business can lead this change – and lead it well. And where business succeeds, Caroline believes, the rest of society will naturally follow. It’s just a question of harnessing and channelling that influence in the right way.
Dr. Fergus Heffernan PhD. Neuro Psychology, MA Family Therapies, BSc Clinical Psychology. Fergus, who is a visiting professor at Columbia University, New York, Boston University and Trinity College Dublin, has spent over 30 years working with the Irish Defence Forces and subsequently with both NATO and UN soldiers in war zones all over the World. Much of this work focused on teaching individuals and groups how to survive in extremely stressful situations. His presentation will centre around his ‘Manage Your Life By Managing Your Mind programme’, which he has put together based on his years of experience.
John Lonergan John Lonergan joined the Irish Prison Service in 1968 and was appointed Governor of Mountjoy in 1984. He also served as Governor of the top security prison in Portlaoise from November 1988 until May 1992. His philosophy is that change, both personal and otherwise cannot be enforced upon people, believing that real and meaningful change comes through consent and agreement. He is convinced that the task for all of us is to find the humanity in another human being and then to nurture it. He argues that if our objective is to create a just, inclusive and cohesive society we must build it on the core value of justice, equality, fairness, honesty and compassion. In particular he is a strong advocate of the benefits of Sport in the rehabilitation of young offenders and its role in keeping young people off the streets and thereby reducing their risk of involvement in crime and drugs.
