      <image:title>Keith McCormack - Keith McCormack Executive Mentor &amp; Leadership Advisor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Keith McCormack helps people make sense of the health, wellbeing, and life-stage changes that shape how they live, work, and relate to others. He has spent more than two decades leading major communications and media organisations in Ireland, building a deep understanding of how people take in information, what makes it resonate, and how to guide conversation in a way that feels both credible and useful. He brings that experience into retreats, workshops, panels, conferences, and live events where the aim is not only to inform, but to help people leave with clearer thinking and a better sense of what matters next. His style is calm, direct, and considered - creating space for honest discussion while keeping the conversation focused on what people can actually use in their own lives.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Aoife Nic Shamhráin and Ciara McKenna are the co-founders of Rose Clinic Bray, a specialist women’s health and menopause clinic in Bray, launched in 2024 with a shared mission to make expert, compassionate care more accessible to women at every stage of life. Both highly experienced GPs with specialist training in women’s health and menopause, Aoife and Ciara combine clinical excellence with a fresh, down-to-earth approach. They’re passionate about empowering women with clear, evidence-based advice—whether in the clinic or through their podcast Lady Bites, which they co-host with Dr Louise Fitzgerald. Outside the clinic, Aoife is in the sea, on the bike or playing flute, while Ciara balances running, pilates and a talent for baking showstopper cakes.</image:caption>
