Lessons From Grace O’Malley: Slowing Down to Lead with Courage & Strategy
With MaryPat Kavanagh
Grace O’Malley—Irish pirate queen, strategist, and negotiator—understood something many leaders forget: speed without clarity leads to drift.
In this Live session, we’ll explore leadership lessons inspired by Grace O’Malley and gently connect them to modern work, business, and life. Rather than pushing for answers, we’ll slow down—on purpose—to notice what becomes clear when we pause, read the tides, and choose our course with intention.
This is a reflective, spacious session where you’re invited to:
-- Consider what it means to rule your own seas
-- Explore how strategic pauses lead to wiser decisions
-- Reflect on courage, boundaries, relationships, and long-term vision
-- Experience slowing down as a way to move forward with clarity
You’re welcome to engage through the chat or hearts, or simply listen quietly. People come and go—stay as long as feels supportive.
This session is part of the Slow Down to Go Fast approach: leadership rooted in timing, energy, and discernment rather than constant reaction.
