When Vicky Phelan delivered an emotionally charged statement from the steps of the Four Courts in April 2018 - having refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement in the settlement of her action against the HSE - she unearthed the medical and political scandal of our times. It would emerge that, like Vicky, 220 other women who were diagnosed with cervical cancer were not informed that a clinical audit -carried out by the national screen programme CervicalCheck - had revised their earlier, negative smear tests. Their cancers could possibly have been preventable. Since then, Vicky has become women's voice for justice on the issue, and her system-changing activism has made her a household name. In her memoir Overcoming, Vicky shares her remarkable personal story, from a life-threatening accident in early adulthood through to motherhood, a battle with depression, her devastating later discovery that her cancer had returned in shocking circumstances - and the ensuing detective-like scrutiny of events that led the charge for her history-making legal action. An inspiring story of rare resilience and power, Overcoming is an account of how one woman can move mountains - even when she is fighting for her own life - and of finding happiness and strength in the toughest of times.

Christina Noble OBE, is an exceptional, inspiring person. She has by her own effort and example and with an unselfish willingness to serve, shown the world that street children are a vital part of humanity – that the abuse and maltreatment suffered by children can be stopped. By providing love, and by giving back dignity to over 700, 000 of these special children and their families in Mongolia and Vietnam. she has shown us that they can become empowered to fulfil their proper role in society. They can, and will be their countries future.

Since 1991 Christina Noble and her foundation have established over 120 projects/programmes in Vietnam and Mongolia. Today the work of the foundation impacts more than 20,000 children and their families annually.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1944; daughter of Thomas and Anne Byrne.

Christina Noble is a child of the impoverished Liberties of Dublin during the 1940’s – 1950’s. Christina endured a childhood of loss, isolation and tragedy. After the early death of her mother, was separated from her five siblings and committed to an abusive state institution. Christina escaped several times and fled to England, only to find herself in a trapped and destructive marriage.

 In 1971 Christina had a dream that eighteen years later would lead her to Vietnam, to begin work amongst the forgotten street children (Bui-Doi – Dust of Life) of Vietnam. The children lived in appalling poverty and conditions but Christina committed to making a positive difference in their lives and refused to give up on them. This often required her to work in dangerous areas but her desire to help these children surpassed the struggles presented to her.

In 1991 the Christina Noble Foundation was established. It has since provided free medical care to over 6000 street and abandoned children per year and free education for hundreds of street children. Recognising the dangers on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, and seeing the need to change the children’s attitude towards gangs, violence, drugs and prostitution, Christina also built a purpose built emergency residential shelter for young boys. She later set up a sponsorship programme, worked with prison authorities to launch a prison education project and has established many other much needed changes in the lives of disadvantaged children, Her work is truly amazing.

In 1992 Christina was officially acknowledged for her contribution to humanity and awarded the Medal of Peace and Humanity. She later received the Paul Harris Fellowship Award by Rotary International, The Hearts of Gold Award by the British Broadcasting Corporation. and the medal for The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs. In 1977 she was voted one of the top 20 inspirational women in the world by Harpers and Queen UK.

In 2012 Deirdre Featherstone was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer and went on to her lose hair, have chemotherapy, a mastectomy, radiation and a reconstruction, all in a two-year period. It was a very grueling time, but she feels that it was also one of the best times in her life. Instead of surrendering, she decided that she was going to “grab this cancer and turn it into something as positive as I possibly could.”

A couple of weeks after her mastectomy she was naturally very upset. She was housebound and could not drive but was dying to get back into life and wanted something good to do
to put her mind back to work. She came up with the idea of a Skinny Dip to raise money for Childhood Cancer. In "Dee" style she went for it. She set up a Facebook Event and “blackmailed” all her friends and family into doing it, "I am bald and have one boob, what do you mean you couldn't do it?”

The first Strip and Dip was created. Approximately 50 women turned up. Since then the dip has taken place annually and in the first five years it raised €153,00 for Aoibheann's Pink Tie, Ireland's National Children's Cancer Charity. Dee decided to raise the bar and set another goal, to beat the world record for skinny dips! The event totally took off and on the day she had 2,505 women show up to dip. They smashed the world record and raised €503,000 from that dip alone, which funded a respite home in Crumlin for the families going through childhood cancer.  Since the dip last year they formed a choir of dippers (names were picked out of a hat) and 45 strong women sang their hearts out to This is Me on the hit TV show, Ireland's Got Talent. Six ladies at the front did a little reveal.... showing that there is no such thing as a "perfect" body, we are all perfect and happy with who we are. Four of the women had undergone mastectomies. The choir is called Sea of Change which defines the way Dee and her dippers felt after the dip. On Ireland's Got Talent, the crowd went wild in celebration as the choir got the Golden Buzzer straight to the live shows! Dee's motto is Together we are stronger - Women together can achieve anything. Let's get in the room and be upstanding for this amazing empowering woman!

She started networking in the correct way, by building relationships and trust and went on to sell £100,000 worth of advertising revenue over the next 6 months. She saw first hand how powerful and profitable networking could be for business. Tracey spotted a gap in the market and decided to start her own networking company, and so Introbiz was born!

Tracey also discusses the trials she’s faced as a business owner and how her own experiences have shaped the businesswoman that she is today. Master Networking: 10 Steps to Building Business Relationships for Profit and Success, explores her tried and tested methods for effective networking.

"The Women's Empowerment Summit was an amazing day, with so many inspirational speakers. The energy in the room on the day was none like I'd experienced before with women from all walks of life looking for inspiration for themselves or for their business. The organiser, Donna Kennedy, an old school friend of mine is truly a beautiful amazing and unique person, I've always known this but to see her on stage telling her story and passion for life with everyone was a emotional but proud moment for me. It has made me look at my life and strive to be the best I can be. I am looking forward to the next one! "

The day was relaxed and full to the brim of inspiring people and their stories. I attended with the idea of bettering my business and growing my new business. I feel it helped my business and I found that the speakers really gave me a "kick up the bum" for my life. To get up and go, and not expect life to hand me things. I will definitely try to attend again in the future and hope to meet some of the wonderful people again!

Thank you so much for being a fantastic role model for me, but also for my children.  My daughter (12) and I attended your Women's Empowerment Summit in March ’17, and being an introverted little girl who lacks confidence along with other issues, she hugely benefitted from listening to people who’d overcame massive obstacles and challenges in their own lives to achieve the ‘extraordinary’.  She really was blown away by their stories.Your own story inspired her most of all, and I have to agree with her. The energy in the room was fantastic, it would inspire anyone to want to improve their life, regardless of where their starting point is.  I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be introducing both of my daughters to such strong women at their young ages, I think it’s so important and invaluable. I would recommend to anyone wishing to start up or improve a business or wishing to improve your life and gain back your sense of self-worth, to attend ANY workshop or event organised by the wonderful and kindest lady I’ve met in quite some time, Donna Kennedy. I know I’ll certainly be there and can’t wait for the next event"
Michelle Whelan, Dublin
