Declan Kelly joins Jimmy Roberts to explore that tension—and explain why golf remains such a powerful investment for his own business. The Consello chairman and CEO shares why his company is backing the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, what makes Shane Lowry valuable beyond the logo on his shirt, and why some of his most revealing conversations with CEOs happen on the course.
Known as the “CEO Whisperer,” Kelly also reflects on his journey from journalism in Ireland to advising business leaders, the lessons that shaped his approach, and the daily handwritten habit he has maintained since he was 15.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
• Why golf creates access and relationships that traditional corporate settings rarely offer
• The value of Shane Lowry’s sponsorship beyond exposure and audience metrics
• Kelly’s concerns about rising money demands and a widening divide in professional golf
• What the “CEO Whisperer” believes makes advice—and leadership—effective
• The four-part handwritten list Kelly creates every night and why he keeps every card
Plus, Kelly shares a personal decision in Making Better Decisions, presented by Aon, and Bob Costas recalls the career risk that became one of his most rewarding chapters.
