Social pictures from the IMAGE Business Club networking event, ‘Moving on Up’

How is 2025 going? What promises have you made to yourself about work and career, and how are you going to get there?

As the year unfolds, it’s time to put action to the plan, and our first IMAGE Business Club Live event was all about working life, the jobs market, promotion, enrichment and how we can put ourselves at the centre of a career strategy that will reap rewards as well as fulfilment.

Commercial, corporate and entrepreneurial environments continue to change, alongside the world we’re living in. On Wednesday evening, February 12 at The Dublin Royal Convention Centre, Marie Moynihan, senior vice president of global human resource services, Dell Technologies, updated us on what’s out there – the real working landscape – and how women can be seen, grow and excel in it. Marie is an incredibly trusted and inspiring global leader, a strong advocate for women in business with vast experience.

We were also joined by business founder of Cocoa Brown and Carter Beauty, Marissa Carter; Caroline Sherry, CFO and executive director at Hostelworld Group Plc, and Lorna Conn, CEO of global talent solutions company CPL, in conversation with IMAGE contributing editor Melanie Morris, as we identified and discussed the drive, skills, resources and industry intelligence that will prove insightful for a successful career journey in 2025 and beyond.

Our guests departed with plenty of insight, having networked with other IMAGE Business Club members and speakers over Tanqueray and Fever-Tree cocktails and canapés, and a gorgeous gift bag courtesy of Cocoa Brown.
