I’ve been avoiding making this episode. I don’t necessarily believe in disability, I believe in people and people have diverse abilities. The thing that enables or disables any individual is the environment in which they exist. The legal, cultural, social, physical, mental, emotional environments we live and work in are the places that either dampen our potential or allow us to flourish. Check out this short episode to hear my thoughts. Only Human Podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc and is produced by Evan Balfe 🎤 Until next time, stay well, stay curious.

It has been a while. We all need to create space sometimes to process, that doesn't mean we always give ourselves what we need. My absence on the podcast over the past few months was an act of self-care. All will become clear. I hope this episode moves you, moves you in a particular way. In a world where there is so much comparison, resentment, expectations and judgements I hope it gives you a little more permission to be human. To be where you are, to let go of the things that don't serve you, to allow yourself embrace the things that do and most of all to give yourself permission. This episode is an exploration of the themes that worked for me in 2020 that I want to bring forward with me. This episode is a reminder, me giving myself permission to be human.

A father of three, married to Annette, Declan Coyle is a Director of Andec Communications and one of Ireland’s most internationally experienced leadership training and development consultants. He is also much sought after as a conference keynote speaker. Declan has lived life on many levels, all of which have helped form his revolutionary Green Platform principles and thinking which form the bedrock for all the Development Programmes and Keynote addresses Declan delivers to Blue Chip companies, Government Departments, Sports Teams and Individuals. After school he joined the Columban Fathers who worked in many of the world’s poorest slums. His postgrad studies led him to Ottawa. After being awarded two Masters Degrees he was sent to work in the slums of the Philippines. His experience in burying thousands of babies who had died of malnutrition related diseases proved a powerful catalyst for his belief that even in bad situations we need to identify and work towards positive change. During this time he set up the Philippines Human Development Fund which for the past 35 years has been supporting sustainable food, income and educational help to the poorest families in the Philippines and later in Taiwan. He later returned to Ireland, married and pursued a path of developing teams, individuals and organisations towards empowered lives personally and professionally by showing them their freedom to choose the red or green platform in life. www.thegreenplatform.com Only Human Podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc and is produced by Evan Balfe 🎤 Until next time, stay well, stay curious.
