Wow, I am honored to have such a recommendation to share from Ronan Ó Byrne Prof banker, thank you for the recognition as an operational manager, as I work towards finding a new opportunity in September when I leave UB and for my motivational speaking through bjkennomotivation I am truly humbled. Thank You.
"Brian and I both work for Ulster Bank, whilst we work in the same organisation we are in different areas. Brian & I are connected by our love of running and we run together regularly.
Brian is a very experienced Operations Manager & a go to guy for problem solving .He uses not only his many years of experience across different companies but his ability to deal with people in a positive and professional way.
In recent years Brian has both shined a light on campaigning for Good Mental Health in the workplace but also shone brightly himself when he shares his own personal journey of mental exhaustion from work. I have attended Brian’s wellness talk many times and have learned something new each time.
Brian is passionate, humble, honest and approachable and I believe every workplace should have a Brian Kennedy in the role of Mental Health Champion i.e. someone who has walked the walk & therefore can talk the talk".
Ronan O Byrne Prof, Banker Regulatory Affairs
Strong people rarely have an easy past.
I want you to know the present time is the only time that matters, the past is over and the future has not yet happened and if you slow down take stock you can achieve your goals and your dreams.
Life experience teaches us lessons, "Be Teachable".

Take some time out for a laugh.
Somebody somewhere will find the path to my crooked smile, to be the only map they need. And my laughter will be the song they sing back to me

Happy Monday.
Who do you say I am?
A famous question asked of an infamous group of 12 long ago.
It's a question many people find themselves searching for the answer in their business life - what do you think of me? Am I worthy? Should I go for the promotion? , should I change career?.
Too many times the answer is accepted in a business review meeting that refers to the negative points in a period of time, areas for development that will do nothing to build self esteem or overall confidence for the future in general.
If you work with me through bjkennomotivation I can help you take time out to understand who you really are and define your values which will help you move forward in your business and personal life with clear goals.
It doesn't matter what people say about you or think about you, you row your own boat in this life which will be great if you are true to your values.

Worry
Worry is a thief, it will rob you of all your joy and creativity and your sleep at night.
You don't make good decisions when you worry and if you allow it, it will keep you from your destiny.
It is usually the negative thoughts that come first in our minds and on those we dwell.
If you can slow down and try to guard your mind through mindfulness, you will start to experience more positive thoughts that will give you the opportunity to stop trying to solve problems that will never happen.
Once you are doing your best you have nothing to worry about.

The road back.
Any goal has obstacles its how we respond to them that helps us grow our resilience.
Fear is real and present in any scenario.
Tonight I ran my first road run since May 8th when I sustained a reoccurance of a back disc injury. Although I have done some short road walks and recently completed TM runs of 5 and 3 miles heading out tonight there was some fear as to how it would go, running gives me so much and allows me to give back.
My fellow ultra marathoner Rob Steger wrote about fear.
"As I begin to push nearer my personal limits, the element of fear becomes a real factor, I try to scare myself just enough into healthy training and eating habits. My goal needs to be just on the edge, scarey enough to harness the fear and ride it into race day".
Today I ate right and rode the fear into the 5.8 mile run tonight believing I could get through it successfully.
Thankfully mission accomplished tonight and I can continue the slow recovery.
Find something to be grateful for.
Follow your dreams.

So you believe you are a Social media influencer eh!
So you believe you are an influential business leader eh!
Influencer is a term bandied around a lot today.
So you believe you truly are an influencer eh?, well how do you know? ,
How did you become that person of influence?
To influence someone you have to have faith in them, faith in them before they succeed and yes sometimes even before they have faith in themselves.
Sadly today a lot of people don't have faith in themselves and they don't believe they know anyone who has true faith in them.
If you show faith in someone before they succeed, provide support when they fail and help them visualise their future success then you can call yourself a person of influence.
If you can help someone change their attitude and expand their horizons then maybe just maybe you can earn the term a person of influence.
As you succeed in your personal and business life reach back and bring someone with you.

That person's older they don't understand, That person's younger they don't know what they are talking about,
Leaders should try to find a common ground as everyone can add value.
In your business and personal life helping someone to be better
-can hurt your ego,
-you don't want them to get better than you,
-you don't want to give away your skills, -
- you still want to feel valued,
We create more value by sharing our experiences and skills because everyone will raise their game to meet their goals.
People gravitate towards people who are vulnerable enough to know they don't have all the answers and have a willingness to grow together.
Follow your dream and know you can do it.
