Eileen Forrestal

Retired medical Dr. Eileen Forrestal spent 20 years as an Anaesthesiologist ‘putting people to sleep’, then she refired as a ‘publishing entrepreneur’ in 2014, 'waking people up' to the power of words.’ As Co-founder and CEO of Get up and Go Publications Ltd. (2008), her inspirational diaries encouraged and empowered almost 500,000 readers around the world. The author of the memoir The Courage To Shine, she shares her personal story of overcoming the stammer that plagued her young life, and kept her hidden and silent for “too long”. Eileen is now CVO (Chief Visionary Officer) in her new venture as Shine your Light Coach, Consultant and Speaker. With her new courage to speak up, she encourages audiences to Find Your Voice And Discover The (Healing) Power Of Your Words! A passionate traveller, Eileen has lived and worked on 3 continents, visited more than 60 countries, and regards travel as the best education in life you will ever get … not forgetting “the road to happiness is an inward journey.”
