Business books blazing their way to County Carlow Libraries
Hopeful entrepreneurs are now being encouraged to visit their local library to check out a copy of one of the series of publications by Management Guru – Blaise Brosnan.
Wexford businessman Blaise Brosnan is well known to the Carlow Business Community having supported hundreds of companies as part of the Management Development Programmes rolled out by the Local Enterprise Office.
His latest book is 'I Dare You', subtitled 'Win the Debate in Your Own Head', he says, is not another self-help book with a recipe for success, but rather it challenges the reader to visualise the outcome you desire, create it in your mind, manage change, start to take the necessary steps towards your goals and stand for something.
'I Dare You' comprises 47 core messages from Blaise Brosnan's lifetime of experience as a mentor, educationalist and trainer and more than 300 carefully chosen, wise and profound quotations from his own personal collection.
A native of Killarney, he joined the management team of Wexford Farmers Co-op in the 1970s building it into a multi-million euro business and one of Ireland's leading enterprises. He is an economics graduate from UCD and a management graduate from Trinity College.
Through his business management consultancy (Management Resources Institute) and his Owner Manager Development Programme (OMDP), Blaise has facilitated more than 5,000 business people to stand back from the 'fuss' of their day-to-day activity and decide how best to drive their businesses forward and achieve their objectives.
The books were presented to the County Librarian, John Shortall at a recent Management Development Day hosted by Carlow County Council’s – Local Enterprise Office attended by over 20 companies. Speaking about the importance of business resources, John Shortall, County Librarian said “we are delighted to be able to stock these publications which will add to the various resources available to the business community from their local library”, Shortall continued to say “these resources and having a dedicated first stop shop for enterprise in the Council means that we can now provide more seamless services to the public”.
Speaking at the Management Development Day and the presentation of publications by Dan McInerney – Deputy Chief Executive, Carlow County Council’s Head of Enterprise said “working in partnership is key to the development of an enterprise culture in County Carlow and we encourage entrepreneurs to use the various business support services in the libraries”.
