Life Lessons From Dealing With Death | Ciaran Prior | TEDxTralee

Have you ever wanted to enter the unique world of a CSI Investigator? It’s far removed from the glamour depicted on TV. The sad, poignant reality of dealing with death on a large scale is real.
This TEDx talk will give you the perspective of someone who had a fear of death as a child and yet became a Crime Scene Investigator in Irelands Police Force, exposing him to death, trauma and tragedy.

Ciaran Prior has spent these past 15 years as a CSI and in late 2022 he changed career course. He now shares the fascinating way that dealing with death has actually given him deep insight into this amazing life we all have been gifted. He now delivers inspiring presentations and seminars on leadership, resilience, well-being and study skills across the educational and corporate sectors

Well done Ciaran, a very important message and those stats on suicide are just tragic

[EventVideoSolutions]

Incredibly honest and unique insight into a life, a career and into a topic that needs to be discussed more in and by society in the hope of creating a better awareness of suicide that unfortunately only becomes a conversation when another life is needlessly lost. Well done Ciaran.
