About Enda
Enda O’Doherty is a resilience and mental health keynote speaker from Waterford. He speaks to corporate teams across Ireland, from Dublin and Cork to sites in every county, and online for teams spread across the world.
He spent 36 years in education, has been sober for over two decades, and wrote I’m Fine! Thoughts on Life, Love, Addiction and Health about the years when he was not fine at all. He has run nine marathons in eight days carrying a washing machine, finished two Ironman events and climbed Kilimanjaro. Those are the stories. The point of them is what pressure does to people, and what helps.
Corporate keynotes start from €2,000. Over 20,000 delegates at organisations including Abbott, Accenture, Northern Trust, J.P. Morgan and BNP Paribas have heard him speak. Read Enda’s full story
Lived experience, not just inspiration
Why Corporate Leaders Trust Enda
Enda’s talks are built on lived experience and over two decades of recovery, not borrowed inspiration. Book him when your people need help with:
Pressure and burnout, and how to recover from them
Leading a team through change and uncertainty
Asking for help before a problem becomes a crisis
Keeping a team together when the load gets heavy
I spent years telling people I was fine when I was not. That is the story I bring into the room, and it is why people believe the rest of what I say.

No Limit Mindset
Enda brings credibility and energy to a conference, leadership day or wellbeing event, and leaves people with things they can actually do.
The No Limit Mindset framework gives your people five habits:
01
Build Resilience
Simple ways to recover from a setback, manage stress and keep going when the load is heavy.
02
Perform Under Pressure
How to do good work in a demanding job without burning out, and how to spot the signs in a colleague.
03
Lead With Honesty
Why leaders who admit they are struggling earn more trust than leaders who pretend, and how to do it without losing authority.
04
Handle Change
Practical ways to steady a team through restructures, new systems and uncertainty.
05
Look After Each Other
A shared language for wellbeing, so people ask “how are you, really” and mean it.
Want This For Your Team?
Tell Enda the date, the room and what you want people to leave with. He replies within one working day.
What Sets Enda Apart
Enda is not a typical motivational speaker. He combines a hard won story of recovery with practical tools people can use the next morning, and he shapes every talk to the audience in front of him, whether that is a leadership team, HR professionals, a sales team or frontline staff.
How it works
Your Bespoke Engagement Experience
Book Enda directly and you deal with him personally, from the first message to the final applause.
01
A first call
It starts with a call. Enda asks what your people are dealing with right now, whether that is change, pressure, burnout or a team that has gone quiet, and what you want them to leave with. That call shapes the whole keynote.
02
A planning call
Before the event, a planning call with you and, where useful, your leadership team, so the stories and examples fit your culture and your industry.
03
On the day
He arrives early, meets your leadership team and tailors the talk to the room. Your people leave with tools they can use the next morning, not just a good feeling.
No agency and no account manager. One person, from the first call to the final applause.
Three keynotes
Which talk is right for your people?
Every booking is one of three keynotes, shaped to your agenda. Read the one that fits, or let Enda help you choose on a call.

What leaders say after Enda speaks
His talk was a key highlight of our offsite.
Enda was most professional and very effective as a guest speaker at our recent Sales offsite. His personal story of overcoming adversity through focus and rigorous execution was inspirational. His passion, energy, humour and audience participation kept us completely engaged throughout. His talk was a key highlight of our offsite. I’d highly recommend Enda and look forward to working with him again in the near future.
He balanced humour, insight and wisdom.
Excellent presentation from Enda at the recent Wellness conference at Sanofi Waterford. He balanced humour, insight and wisdom without ever losing sight of the seriousness of the subject matter. Enda will inspire your team with his accounts of overcoming challenges to become a winner. Highly recommended!
One of the best motivational speakers I have attended.
Enda your presentation was amazing!!!! You moved the audience emotionally. Your content is powerful, and your energy and ability to be genuine on stage were fabulous. In my opinion, one of the best motivational speakers I have attended.
He nailed it.
Enda participated in our recent Leadership summit, I wanted to equip our Leaders with skills which allow them lead our teams in a real practical and engaged manner. Enda focused on managing self, being physical and mentally fit, developing resilience. He nailed it, the energy created was infectious, his delivery and content was exceptional. We are now thinking about extending the programme across our 400 people. Our Leadership team now have a better tool kit, Thanks Enda.
