LEAD AS YOU LOVE

WITH YOUR HEART.

ABOUT BTL

We are Below the Line, welcome to our site. Here you can find out more about us, what we do and most importantly, why we do it.

Founded in 2015 Below the Line is a collective of people from a range of backgrounds who share a common belief that success in leadership, management and business is as much a matter of the heart as it is a matter of the head. We help leaders, teams and whole organisations connect with this idea in real and tangible ways to bring their business, performance and results to new heights.

Our backgrounds extend across industries and sectors including banking, finance, insurance, utilities, broadcasting and pharmacy as well as the worlds of health and wellness, elite sport, adventuring and endurance. This wealth of experience enables us to support our clients with the full spectrum of challenges and opportunities that present to businesses of any nature, scale and size. We are at our best and most impactful when we are igniting and unlocking the human potential in a business to enable high performance results and outcomes.

With a combined 50+ years of experience we work with senior leaders and teams in a range of settings and industries including Banking, Technology, Utilities, Hospitality and Retail. Alongside our work with businesses we have extensive experience of working in the world of elite sport having had the great privilege to coach and mentor Olympic Medallists, World Champions, Multiple European Champions, Heineken Cup Champions and All-Ireland Winners.

WHY?

We do what we do because of our strongly held belief in the power of humanity – the innate capability, resilience and brilliance that resides in every individual to achieve extraordinary things when they are supported, empowered and inspired to do so. In the world of business, we believe that uncovering and engaging the best of our humanity is always compelling and powerful and that it is the way to build and sustain truly high performing people, teams and businesses.

At Below the Line we have the great privilege to work with amazing leaders and businesses as well as some of the most successful athletes and teams in Irish sporting history and if there is one lesson that we have taken from all of this work it is this: that the source of great and lasting leadership lies ‘below the line’, in uncovering and making sense of our story, our experiences, our biases, our real intentions and ultimately letting our humanity into play and out to play”.

We love to be right in the middle of helping people, teams and organisations connect with this idea in real and tangible ways to drive their business performance, success and sustainability.

WHO ARE WE ?

A team of collaborators from the worlds of business, elite sport and adventure and endurance.

What we believe:

Our work and approach are based on two very simple ideas:

Being successful in leadership, management, business, entrepreneurship and indeed life in general is as much a matter of the heart as it is the head.
If we have learnt anything about leadership in all our time working with and developing talented CEOs. entrepreneurs and business owners, athletes and teams, it is that leadership implies followership. This has less to do with your knowledge, skills or qualifications (although these things are important) and much more to do with who you are, how you bring yourself to what you do and how willing you are to show this to those with whom you work.
