Some of you may have joined us for our February ORSC Community event, Is There Space for Love in Organisations? Thank you to those who joined us, your insights, curiosity, and willingness to explore this complex topic made for a powerful conversation. One thing is clear: this dialogue is far from over. As we navigate shifts in corporate culture, the need to balance masculine energy with love, connection, and relational intelligence is more important than ever. That’s why we’re continuing the conversation in our next Community Event on 29th April. Together, we’ll build on what we uncovered, deepen our practice, and explore how we can actively create workplaces where love and power coexist. Key questions we’ll address: What does love mean in a professional setting? How can love thrive alongside masculinity? Can masculinity be expressed in a loving, intentional way? What does “masculine aggression through a lens of love” look like in leadership and team dynamics? Keith McMahon and Dylan Smith will again guide us through an interactive session. This event isn’t just a discussion—it’s a space for practice, reflection, and transformation. Whether you’re a coach, leader, or someone passionate about building healthier workplace dynamics, you’ll leave equipped to inspire positive change. 📅 Date: February 29th April 📍 Location: Virtual Via Zoom Save the date and join us for this thought-provoking, practice-rich session. Together, let’s reimagine the role of love in a changing corporate world.

Conflict can have a significant impact on colleagues and the business financially and emotionally. It is important that as a manager you have the tools to resolve conflict before it becomes an issue.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION / NON-FICTION Upon joining Curtis Brown in 2018, Ciara Finan worked with senior agents Jonny Geller and Sheila Crowley on their lists of bestselling and prize-winning authors such as Lisa Jewell, Susanna Clarke, David Nicholls, Jojo Moyes and Nigella Lawson. Now as an agent she is representing a wide range of fiction and non-fiction writers. Ciara would consider her reading tastes to be quite broad and ever-growing, but is constantly drawn to books that have a decisive voice, unforgettable characters, an unexpected story, or can subvert and reconstruct the conventional narratives of love, friendship, family, loss and coming-of-age. In particular, she is looking for Adult and YA fantasy and romantasy, rom-coms and book club romance. In the wider fantasy genre, Ciara is keen on finding romantasy, cozy fantasy, dark/light academia, and anything with political intrigue. She seeks novels that will keep her reading into the early hours of the morning. She wants to be consumed by the world, the plot and the characters. Think authors like Leigh Bardugo, Tamsyn Muir, R.F. Kuang, Sangu Mandanna, Hannah Nicole Maehrer, Deborah Harkness, Chloe Gong, Ava Reid or Sabaa Tahir. In romcoms and romance, Ciara is looking for something that explores the complicated nature of romantic relationships - think Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid. She would love to find a brilliantly witty workplace romance or anything that will leave her in tears. Ciara would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 -2 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document. (In addition to the paid sessions, Ciara is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.
