Set against the magical backdrop of Oakfield Park at midsummer, join us for an evening of inspiration and connection with Marie Gleeson, former Irish Navy Ships Captain and renowned leadership consultant.

Marie brings over two decades of experience leading in the demanding environment of the Atlantic Ocean, rising from naval cadet to Captain of the LE AOIFE and breaking new ground as one of the first female officers in the Irish Navy. Her remarkable journey has equipped her with deep insights into leadership, resilience, and decision-making under pressure—skills she now shares with audiences across corporate, non-profit, and public sectors.

During this fireside chat, Marie and Sally will explore:

• Lessons in leadership from the bridge of a naval ship to the boardroom
• Strategies for maximising team performance in challenging circumstances
• The realities of leading in male-dominated environments
• Building resilience and navigating adversity
