Tangible Ireland, was established in 2001 to provide Support Services to both indigenous Start-Up Enterprises and Foreign Direct Investment. From the beginning at Tangible we had a significant interest and commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility with particular focus on Community Empowerment, Social Enterprise and Cross Community and Cross Border Projects. Since the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 Tangible’s CSR activities have further evolved into promoting thought leadership around the core values of collaborative leadership, shared excellence and the concept of 'pay it forward!' Tangible is positive in its outlook and pragmatic in its approach. We seek to add value through our interventions and to provide a beacon of leadership and inspiration for those with passion and talent in the battle for a positive future.
In early 2009 we initiated the Tangible Leadership Series bringing together a diverse collection of intellects and advocates to face the challenges of creating an improved Ireland. With a global network of over 1000 followers/contributors keen to participate in Tangible debate which is restriction free, positive and pragmatic. We now visit venues in Dublin, London, Howth, Limerick, South Belfast, New York ,Crossmaglen, Sydney and Ballyhoura. Each venue brings together its own unique group of participants, with their own perspective.
We are now commencing our 6th Tangible Leadership Series starting with ‘Ammunition for Success!’ in Howth on January 9th. Our theme is in recognition of the 100th Anniversary of the Howth Gun Running in 19014 which was the precursor to the 1916 Rising. We have recently visited London Irish Centre to host ‘London, Our Friend in Europe!’ to explore the enhanced relationship with our nearest neighbour and closest ally in Europe and gain a better understanding of the London Irish community.
As a highlight to our Tangible Leadership Series we will hold our 5th Ambassador Summer School in Ballyhoura in August 2014 where over 3 days we provide a more relaxed yet stimulating environment to discover and debate the pertinent issues facing Ireland and the global Irish.
It was through Linkedin that we heard of Shirley Gallagher’s endeavours to bring a more sustainable economy to Arainn Mhór off the coast of Donegal. Her ideas about cultivating indigenous enterprise, championing the fishing industry to creating a greater connectivity between island communities around the world resonate well with our Tangible values, thus we decided to highlight her work through our seminar series. We look forward to hearing from Shirley in Howth in January next where many locals and visitors will empathise with her passion for positive intervention in Coastal communities.
Ar Aghaidh Linn!
Raymond Sexton, Tangible Ireland
