Identity & Authenticity in Business - Breakfast Seminar delivered by Dr Finbarr Bradley, with Líonra Leitir Ceanainn and Letterkenny Chamber

Join Letterkenny Chamber and Líonra Leitir Ceanainn for this collaborative breakfast seminar with Dr Fionnbarra Ó Brolcháin / Finbarr Bradley. 

Please note:  This seminar will be primarily in English but there will also be an opportunity for comhrá agus comhluadar for anyone who wants to.

Join us to explore how incorporating Irish into your business can give your clients a deeper sense of who you are and what your values are. Supported by recent research Fionnbarra will discuss the many ways in which Irish is an asset to businesses.

All welcome to attend, business owners, staff and stakeholders. If you have incorporated Irish into your business already, or are interested in doing so, yourself and your team are more than welcome to attend what will be both an inspiring and informative event! 

You'll have an opportunity to network with fellow businesses and speak to Líonra Leitir Ceanainn about their supports and initiatives. 

Is mó do ghnó leis an Ghaeilge – business means more with Irish. 

This event is a collaboration between Líonra Leitir Ceanainn and Letterkenny Chamber.
