Orla kindly supported a recent Meet for Good event to share her experience, her knowledge and insight, and articulated brilliantly her very personal passion for Ten Times Braver.

Meet for Good is a personal and business development network that focuses on high performance and sport, and helps business leaders tap into the skills and behaviours of those operating in a high-performance environment. Orla was such a great speaker- so engaging with a great story to tell and an ability to retain and convey huge amounts of highly relevant and useful information. Her talk was perfectly pitched and resonated in so many ways. The feedback has been outstanding.
