Our purpose

Introducing Pendulum Summit

At Pendulum Summit, we believe in the power of impactful moments that create lasting change. Our mission is to transform the lives of our delegates, their organisations, and their communities, ultimately creating a ripple effect that drives the change the world needs.

01

To create transformative experiences

We understand that a single moment of inspiration can spark a lifetime of achievement. By curating immersive events and conferences, we provide a platform for individuals to tap into their potential, gain valuable insights, and ignite personal growth.

02

To empower organisations

We recognise that successful businesses are built on engaged and empowered teams. Through our tailored programs and workshops, we equip organisations with the tools, strategies, and mindset needed to foster innovation, drive collaboration, and achieve sustainable success.

03

To impact communities

We believe that positive change extends beyond individual lives and organisations. Pendulum Summit aims to leave a lasting imprint on the communities we serve. By fostering a culture of giving back and social responsibility, we inspire our delegates to make a difference and contribute to a better world.

04

To create a ripple effect

We understand that change happens when individuals, organisations, and communities align their efforts towards a common goal. Pendulum Summit strives to create a ripple effect, where the transformative experiences of our delegates ripple outwards, inspiring others and fostering a global movement towards positive change.

05

To be the change the world needs

Pendulum Summit is dedicated to continuously evolving, innovating, and adapting to address the ever-changing needs of individuals, organisations, and communities worldwide. By being a catalyst for change, we aim to inspire, motivate, and empower people to create a more inclusive, sustainable, and impactful world.

Pendulum Summit founders
The story behind Pendulum

Our Founders

A little more about us: Former professional Rugby player Frankie Sheahan and experienced Events Director and Life Coach Norma Sheahan share an unshakable passion for empowering people and business. The husband and wife duo founded Pendulum Summit in 2014 with the goal of empowering individuals to maximise their potential in business and life.

Impact beyond the stage

Give back is part of the story.

Pendulum’s ambition has always extended beyond the people in the room. The Give Back Initiative, launched in 2017, was created to widen access to inspiration, learning and business networks for people who may not otherwise have those opportunities.

That commitment has included community partnerships and charitable support, including a €25,000 contribution to Cork Simon Community following Pendulum’s collaboration with Tony Robbins.
