Breaking Bread, Building Connections : Friday 20th February 2026

Breaking Bread – Building Connections

Start your Friday with purpose, connection, and powerful conversation. Breaking Bread – Building Connections brings together leaders, community voices, and inspiring individuals for a warm, energising morning of breakfast, insight, and shared experience.

This is not just another networking breakfast - it’s a chance to reset, be inspired, and build meaningful connections before the day even begins.

We are honoured to host Councillor Tracy Kelly, Lord Mayor of Belfast, whose leadership focuses on unity, community empowerment, and creating opportunity for all. Her commitment to bringing people together sets the perfect tone for our morning.

Exeter Chiefs legend Gareth Steenson brings authentic insight into resilience, performance under pressure, and what it takes to lead both on and off the pitch. His story continues to inspire athletes, professionals, and communities across Ireland and the UK.

With deep expertise in mindset, behaviour, and human potential, Seamus Fox delivers transformational guidance for individuals and organisations. His personal journey and practical strategies will leave you energised and ready to approach the day with intention.
