Today Pete speaks to Breda McCague, an incredible motivator and empowering transformational specialist. She co-founded and co-chairs the Lean-In Ireland community which empowers women to help them achieve their mission. Alongside this and her more corporate roles, Breda also has three children and currently plays in a rock band!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Fire in the Belly to Breda is her drive and her passion. It can also be something that many don’t think a lot about until they lose it. Breda is someone who had fire in the belly when she was young, who then lost it in the middle of her life and has now regained it.
• People don’t realise that if you are parenting by default then you are probably parenting the way you were parented. Breda doesn’t think that is up to scratch for our children anymore. Our parents and their parents and even further back lived in a completely different world to kids today.
• Breda believes in conscious parenting. So, making conscious decisions on how to raise your children. Children are very intuitive and by teaching them things like how to deal with emotions, you are then helping them develop things that many of us had to learn in a much more difficult way as an adult.
• Learning to be competitive at a young age helped Breda tremendously in the corporate world as adult. By competing at a young age Breda got the feeling of being in competition, so being ambitious and wanting to do well become who she was as a person.
• Put emotions into your decisions and vision. If you decide on your goal and put emotion into it then what will happen is drive. You’ll be pulled through difficulties and keep going.
• Breda had to learn emotional intelligence as an adult. In particular, she had to unpick fear and how it influenced her life. She now recognises fear and negativity and knows that they do not make her feel good, or ambitious or productive. She then went on to learn about her subconscious and conscious mind and her conditioning. This lead her to be able to train herself on how to deal with life in a completely different way. She now has much more ‘control’ over her emotions.
• When you start to see fear in your life and in your decisions it’s scary how much of an influence it has on your life.
• Celebrating your successes, even your small wins, is as important as mastering your fears and your vision. You need all three for self-mastery; your vision, mastering your fears and celebrating your success.
