Speaking to Lara and Na'eem got me "even more excited" about #innovation. Really enjoyed our chat and hope the podcast helps spotlight the human side of innovation. Why's it called shining eyes? I have @BenjaminZander to thank for that. @ImproveWellCEO @DrNaeemAhmed @RocheDiaUK
Spring is here so is the next episode of #TheImprover podcast 🎧 @GerardHarkin, Head of Innovation @RocheDiaUK, chats with @ImproveWellCEO @DrNaeemAhmed about all things #innovation and why @BenjaminZander looks for #shiningeyes. Take a listen! improvewell.com/2021/03/19/t…

Visited @DickMacksPub in #Dingle and had a tour of the brewery. Wow! Their brown ale is the best brown ale I’ve ever tasted. The Black currants and rum barrels - fully of personality and uniqueness. Thanks Aussie!

I'll never forget it. Still fresh in my mind. I am so grateful for the power of diagnostics. #Diagnostics
After collapsing in excruciating pain, @GerardHarkin feared for his life - a terrifying experience which shone a new light on the power of diagnostic tests and the reassurance they can bring. Watch Gerard’s story now 👇 #OurPeopleOurPurpose #Roche #Diagnostics

When you're visiting back home and open the front door to discover a paper bag on the porch... In it are freshly made scones from an elderly neighbour  with a note to eat them with the fresh jam she made.  It can mean only one thing - you're in Ireland! 💚
