MaryPat Kavanagh

MaryPat Kavanagh helps leaders and changemakers slow down—not to lose momentum, but to find meaning. Her work blends strategy, story, and stillness to create the space where clarity, courage, and connection can thrive. She is a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator based on the research of Brené Brown, holds an Executive MBA from the University of Galway, and earned a Certificate in High Impact Leadership from the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. As an entrepreneur having owned & operated multiple businesses in hospitality, marketing, retail, and consulting, MaryPat guides individuals and teams through transformative programs that bridge heart and strategy. With more than two decades of experience supporting business owners, executives, and creative professionals across the U.S. and Ireland, she brings a rare blend of grounded wisdom, compassion, and strategic insight to her work. Her Slow Down to Go Fast community is built on the belief that reflection is a form of progress—and that sustainable leadership begins with self-awareness. Through guided reflections, mindful strategy sessions, and sea-inspired stories from Ireland’s west coast, she invites others to pause long enough to hear their own wisdom. Listeners can expect meditations, creative reflections, and gentle provocations to help them realign with what matters most—so that when they move, they move with intention.
