  • Anne Doherty & Lily Murphy Her Next Step Episode 9
    Hello and welcome to Her Next Step, the podcast where women in the public service talk about how their passion and their intuition led them to interesting and exciting career paths. We'll hear about the fears and challenges that could have held them back, and about the internal and external supports that enabled them to take their next step.I'm Lily Murphy, and I'm speaking to women whose stories will, I believe, inspire you to wonder what stepping stones would help you to take your next step. In this episode of Her Next Step, Anne Doherty, CEO of Cork City Council, tackles the difference between management and leadership. She talks about how you're already as good as your team and how you earn support through respect, honesty and communication. Let me know if you're enjoying the show. What's fascinating for me about Anne and her career is that Anne started life as a nurse. And, you know, a previous interviewee on Her Next Step, Edel McSharry, said once that when nurses are trained, they have absolutely no idea of what they're capable of, but actually they're capable of running the world. And here we have somebody who I believe is a clear demonstration of that fact. You're most welcome, Anne, and we're delighted to have you here at Her Next Step. Great. Thank you. And thank you so much for having me. I would really love to know, to start, what's the achievement you're most proud of in your career? In my career, gosh. I suppose I've been really lucky that I've had the opportunity to do absolutely amazing things. So it's hard to kind of pick one over another. I suppose training as a nurse is something that I'm really, really proud of.

So thank you so much for joining us from Athlone.It's nice to stop sometimes, isn't it, to just have an opportunity to reflect on your career and how you got to be where you are today.We will start where I usually do. I'm always curious to know when you were young, when you were in primary school, if I had spoken to some of your peers and are indeed to your family and said, somebody you know will end up as this chief executive of the State Exams Commission, would they have automatically assumed it would be you?

  • Rosaleen Wallace & Lily Murphy Her Next Step Episode 7
     Hello and welcome to Her Next Step, the podcast where women in the public service talk about how their passion and their intuition led them to interesting and exciting career paths. We'll hear about the fears and challenges that could have held them back and about the internal and external supports that enabled them to take their next step. I'm Lily Murphy and I'm speaking to women whose stories will, I believe, inspire you to wonder what stepping stones would help you to take your next step. Rosaleen Wallace, I'm just delighted that you're here with us today on Her Next Step podcast with Susie McCally in her studio on Wine Street in Sligo. Rosaleen I've wanted to talk to you about your career for quite a while because when I first met you, you were the station manager in Westport, Irish Rail station manager and I suppose it's a shame on me but I was a bit surprised that there was a woman in such a role. I would have always considered it very much a male role. So I'm just fascinated by how you ended up in that career number one and I know that you're now in corporate communications office of Air and Road Air and so we're going to talk a little bit about the highs and lows of your career and some of the supports that you've used to get you through any of the challenges that you faced and some of the amazing upsides of being on the journey that you've been on. So thank you very much for joining us here today.

  • Sinead Fallon & Lily Murphy Her Next Step Episode 6
    Hello and welcome to Her Next Step, the podcast where women in the public service talk about how their passion and their intuition led them to interesting and exciting career paths. We'll hear about the fears and challenges that could have held them back and about the internal and external supports that enabled them to take their next step. I'm Lily Murphy and I'm speaking to women whose stories will, I believe, inspire you to wonder what stepping stones would help you to take your next step. Well Sinead Fallon, I'm absolutely delighted to have this opportunity to sit here with you in Susie McCanley's studio in Sligo and to talk about your career, some of the ups and downs and just have an opportunity to think about what are to hear, the journey you've been on and some of the challenges you've faced and indeed some of the ways that you've learned to cope with that. What I really want to say for our listeners is the reason I am so looking forward to this conversation is that I don't believe I've ever met anybody as passionate about bringing about change in the health services and particularly in relation to mental health services as you. What's impressed me so much is that it was never just about the passion. When I first met you you were all about trying to develop the skills and harness your own innate talents and of which there were many to ensure that you were always going to be effective in the role of bringing about change. So for that reason I'm really looking forward to this chat today and thank you for joining us here at our next step. Thank you very much. So I'm going to start where I always start with the question if somebody said to your peer group in National School and to your family somebody here will be on the team, she will be the lead for service improvement in the HSE nationally with a focus on community services. Would they have all looked around the room and said oh that'll be Shannaid.

Check out her website for information about how you could work with her. She's an extraordinary.
