Dragon Boat Races — Dublin 2012

Grand Canal Dock on Sat­urday was host to a won­der­ful group of people com­pet­ing in this Dragon Boat Racing event.

My interest arose from my involve­ment with CoWorkinn, based at the IMI in Sandyford.

Mike Han­nigan mar­shalled his team with great enthu­si­asm on the day and were you might say ‘pipped at the post’ in their cat­egory final.

The Tall Ships Festival in Dublin

The Tall Ships Fest­ival in Dublin

Last week­end brought hoards of people onto the streets to wit­ness an inter­na­tional fleet of mag­ni­fi­cent sail­ing ves­sels and won­der­ful dis­plays by their crews.

My per­sonal favour­ite was the Mex­ican Navy Cadet train­ing ves­sel ‘Cuauhtemoc’ built in 1982 in Bil­bao in Spain.

It made a most impress­ive depar­ture at the end of the fest­ival on Sunday with many of its crew mem­bers aloft in the rigging.

Some images cap­ture this as it passes through the East Link Bridge.

Mike Hannigan explains the Coworkinn concept and how the idea is gaining popularity

Mike Han­nigan of Coworkinn at IMI Cam­pus Sandyford

Mike Han­nigan explains the Coworkinn concept and how the idea is gain­ing popularity

The Coworkinn concept is just what is needed right now and deserves great sup­port because it has enorm­ous poten­tial for self employed people.

In this short video I explore with Mike how he came to start Coworkinn.

He out­lines some of the bene­fits and talks about why it came to be loc­ated at the Irish Man­age­ment Insti­tute Cam­pus in Sandy­ford, Co Dublin.

The video also explains how net­work­ing plays a nat­ural role in the coworkinn concept and how mem­bers are more likely to col­lab­or­ate much more than com­pete with each other.

Web Video for Vincent Byrne of Busi​nessShould​BeEasy​.com by Michael O’Farrell

It was enlight­en­ing to work with Vin­cent to pro­duce this video. He expressed a pref­er­ence for a con­ver­sa­tion piece

format where he describes what has shaped his think­ing and poses some ques­tions that people should be ask­ing themselves.

Could you as a busi­ness owner/professional derive bene­fit from using web video in this way.

New Web video on MarketMeWebVideo

In this new web video I ask Vin­cent Byrne of busi​nessshould​beeasy​.com what he would say to any­one look­ing for advice about the bene­fits of using Coworkinn as an office space.
