UCD Smurfit Business School, 'Podcast of the Year'

A 'handy number'? Some Non-Executive Directors, NED, can earn €80k for a monthly board meeting...some can earn twice that. Carol Bolger, formerly senior executive at Ulster Bank and Faculty member at Institute of Directors Ireland, teaches how to become a director at the Institute of Directors (IoD). You may be able to become a NED. Carol tells you how. At 10.00" she explains how tough it was being a senior banker in 2008, during the Financial Crisis.

Her 'hire in a heartbeat'? Mairead McGuinness, former EU Commissioner.

Rebecca Markey is CEO of IFP Media and, of course, she 'gives back' by being Chair of the Enterprise Committee of the RDS. Once upon a time the RDS was the 'go to' place for agricultural training. That's mostly in the past. Now the RDS is promoting the 'circular economy' (using, reusing, replacing, substituting) that one report from InterTrade Ireland says there's €3 billion a year going abegging. The RDS is running a programme to promote the 'circular economy' and they want your company to apply. Like now. There's a cash prize along with some invaluable publicity.

Her 'hire in a heartbeat'? Don Draper for Marketing as well as Blake from Glengarry Glen Ross
