Vision
Croíadh’s vision is for a peaceful, just, and beautiful world where we all may sustain our livelihood in a way that serves real needs in our communities while flourishing our gifts and potential.
Right livelihood career coaching stands at the heart of our work. We also acknowledge that a sustainable future will only be reached when every living being in our human and natural world community is given equal opportunity to thrive.
Lynda’s vision for Croíadh is to create partnerships with expert leadership professionals across many disciplines to support individuals of all backgrounds and abilities around the world to navigate their career transition.
Values:
Our values guide our work and are expressed and advanced through the daily practice of mindful awareness living which:
- Emerges from an Awareness of our Inter-Being: We commit to acting from an awareness of our intraconnectedness with one another and with the planet.
- Honours the Sacred Dimension of Life: We’re committed to making a systemic contribution to social change, and to living from a consciousness of reverence for all of life. We aspire to bring the outer and inner worlds together so that our work emerges from and returns to a space of inner listening, silence, and receptivity.
- Fosters an Ever-Growing Mind-Set: We embrace life-long learning over perfection. We’re committed to growing our potential to serve.
- Stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging: We celebrate the uniqueness, diversity and belonging of every living being in our human and more than human family. We commit to using our platform to raise the voices of individuals who are under-represented. We engage in radical self reflection and social engagement to co-create a more just world.
- Honours our Responsibility to Mother Earth. As a business, we commit to living true to our responsibilities to the Earth. We acknowledge the Earth’s sentience and sacredness. We are a member of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature.
- Respects the Triple Bottom Line: We are a self-sustaining business with a social purpose. We aspire to always honour the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit in our decision making processes.
Croíadh’s values are: Reverence, Service, Excellence, Belonging, Inclusion, Compassion, Wholeness, and Fun.
Partnerships:
Croíadh is a social purpose business. Lynda Morrissey is in the process of creating an NGO in her local community, and redistributing some of the profits into this charity. More details on this emerging project rooted in Ireland are coming soon.
We also re-distribute some of our profits and resources to empowering projects in areas that have been affected the most by colonial exploitation, climate injustice, and the social inequalities generated by our globalised neoliberal ‘unlimited growth’ centred economic system, and underlying world-view of separation, disconnection, and desacralisation.
Herein, we are partnered with two visionary grass-root charity organisations in Africa and India who are working systemically to regenerate their local communities and ecologies, while empowering a new generation of values-led young leaders:
International Peace Initiatives. IPI is a charity based in Kenya that builds a new generation of leaders through peace and ethical leadership programs, while also providing for the needs of children affected by HIV/AIDS.
Founded and led by Dr. Karambu Ringera, IPI also empowers women living with HIV/AIDS and survivors of violence with tools and resources to move from poverty into sustainability and to build resilient, regenerative and thriving communities.
A key initiative is IPI’s Kithoka Amani Community Home (KACH) which provides a loving home, nourishment, whole person empowerment initiatives, education, and wellness resources to currently over 60 vibrant children.

Maher: Maher is a unique inter-faith centred charity based in India that provides a shelter of belonging, as well as food, water, clothing, whole person empowerment, education, job training, wellness programs, and resources for destitute women, children and men throughout the country.
Founded and led by Sr. Lucy Kurien, Maher also enables sustainable communities by working locally and systemically to address economic, educational, health, environmental and reverent connection root causes of inequality.
Over 4,000 women and children have directly been empowered in-person by Maher’s work to date. This number grows on a daily basis.
