Did you know that more than 60% of CEOs believe feelings of loneliness in their role hinders performance?

Harvard Business Review (HBR) stated that 50 percent of CEOs they have surveyed report experiencing feelings of loneliness in their role and 61 percent of these believe it hinders their performance. CEOs typically attend management and leadership programmes run by organisations such as Enterprise Ireland or executive programmes run by elite academic institutions in Europe and the USA. However, being away from their business for any length of time is practically impossible. These CEOs would certainly benefit from the perspective of peers who had been down a similar road before and who would offer advice in a trusting and confidential forum. Read More

‘My biggest loss, by far, was purchasing Eircom shares’

ReganStein appeared in the Irish Times on May 8th 2018 – Me and my money: Joe Aherne, Managing Director, ReganStein. Written by Tony Clayton-Lea, The Irish Times. Are you a saver or a spender? I am definitely more of a spender. I spend a lot of money on golf balls as I lose so many off the tee every week in Cork Golf Club! Do you shop around for better value? Yes, but mainly for clothes. The best value is the Eaton Centre in Toronto. The prices are typically 20-25 per cent cheaper and there always seems to be an excuse for the retailer to offer various discounts for birthdays, various seasons of the year, Canada day, coupon rebates, you name it. What has been your most extravagant purchase and how much did it cost? Regretfully, 15 years ago and on the spur of the moment, I decided to purchase an apartment in Almeria in Spain for around €140,000. I sold it 10 years later for €75,000 and was lucky to get it! On top of that, we never furnished or used the apartment so not my best decision – as my wife keeps reminding me. Thankfully, other investments worked out okay. Read More
