Sometimes the old way of running a team just stops holding. It is not planned, not booked into the calendar year, you feel it before you can name it. I bring 22 years inside global corporate operations and four generations of oral storytelling to sit with your team through that moment. At Amdocs EMEA I brought staff turnover from 70% down to virtually zero, in four hours a quarter. I work with a small number of teams each season, by application, so the work stays real.
Long before anyone kept records, people sat in circles and told what mattered. A Story Circle is that same old thing, a kaleidoscope of human experience, not a performance and not a therapy session, though people often leave healed all the same. Corporate groups carrying burnout, empty nesters, the newly retired, and plenty of others besides have found a renewed sense of belonging here. Maria runs weekend Story Circle groups and classes across Cork and Kerry.
For visitors who want more than the standard tour. A walking tour, a story itinerary, or a day driving the old roads of Cork and Kerry, from Gougane Barra to Cobh and beyond, following the wells of history in the stones and the diaspora stories carried out of this county for two hundred years. Groups usually run four to five people, told by someone who was born into these stories, not one who learned them for the job.
