Wellbeing at Work

Clear Minds,

Real Results

“When people are more self aware, present and energised, their focus and attention span improve, decision-making sharpens, and confidence, productivity and performance transition to new heights”

Services

You’re “successful” but it doesn’t always feel that way. Something’s missing. The pressure never stops, your mind rarely rests and quality time for you never happens. This isn’t about pausing your ambition. It’s about finding clarity in the noise, reclaiming space in your week and building a life that energises rather than drains you.

Calodagh’s consultancy delivers powerful results because it’s built on a rare combination of humanitarian leadership experience, wellbeing science and trusted expertise in translating wellbeing best practice into real-world results. With 14 years leading teams in high-pressure humanitarian crises across Africa and Asia, and over 17 years specialising in workplace wellbeing, she understands stress at its most intense and how to overcome it.

Event Speaking

When organisations want more than generic wellbeing and motivation, they turn to Calodagh McCumiskey. She delivers engaging, evidence-based talks that leave audiences with practical tools and renewed motivation and focus. With a background in crisis leadership and nearly two decades of expertise in the wellbeing field, she helps people perform under pressure - without burning out.

Future-Proof Your Business. Why Smart Leaders Invest In Wellbeing

Burnout is no longer the exception - it’s becoming the norm. More than 72% of employees report at least one symptom of burnout. Irish professionals are feeling the weight: 60% experienced workplace stress last year, with 4 in 10 already having taken stress-related leave. But burnout doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s driven by three chronic forces that most businesses underestimate: sleep deprivation, disconnection, and digital overload.

One in three Irish adults now sleeps less than six hours a night. One in five is lonely all or most of the time. According to Deloitte’s Digital Consumer Trends report, 74% of adults in Ireland check their phones first thing in the morning. Over half stay up later than planned because of their devices. One-third check their phones at least 50 times a day. This constant digital pull disrupts sleep, fractures focus and drains our ability to be fully present - at work and in life. These figures paint a clear picture: stress is not going away. It’s rising and it’s costing businesses dearly in terms of productivity, focus, morale, and talent retention and yet, many organisations still view wellbeing as optional. It’s not.

The data shows that investing in wellbeing is not only ethical, it’s profitable. With an average ROI of €4.70 for every €1 spent, Investing in high-quality, practical wellbeing is a growth strategy, not just a support service. Smart leaders see the writing on the wall: if you want clarity, energy, and real performance in today’s world, you need to invest in the whole human experience, including how people focus, connect, live and sleep.
