From Video Fame to Top TC – Meet Imelda McCarthy

In 2018, we created this video of Imelda McCarthy and her family showing what becoming a Travel Counsellor meant to them all. Fast forward to September 2022 when we checked in with the family to see how business was going and what effect it’s had on them all.

Original interview – November 2018.

September 2022

Imelda McCarthy’s business has grown dramatically and she is now a “Gold” Travel Counsellor, meaning she is in the top 10% globally. Not only that, but she continues to be an integral part of the TC Community and is always willing to help out her Travel Counsellor colleagues.  She’s a great believer in the technology she has and makes sure that all of her clients are as enthusiastic about it as she is, particularly in using myTC. We asked her to share the secret of her success;

Imelda says “My Golden Hour in the early morning works for me, I get so much done in the hours before 9am. I plough through my work, I am more alert, motivated, and efficient.”

This motivation and drive for her business success is what has led her to become one of the top Travel Counsellors in Ireland, recently achieving ‘Gold’ status, a recognition in the TC community for the high level of sales and personal earnings, and she has recently returned from celebrating her achievements in Dubai at the Gold Conference, with fellow TC’s and head office colleagues from Ireland and across the globe.

Not only that, but her business has become a family affair as Amy and Conor have grown up with it.  Imelda and Donal’s daughter Amy, who’s recently sparked interest in all things social media is now helping Imelda with her social media marketing on-line.  Amy spent some of her Transition Year work experience week in the TC head office in Cork with the Marketing Team where she found out how she could help her Mum, and the brand, to become more well known locally.  Amy has a keen interest in seeing the business grow and she takes all the photos and videos on the family adventures abroad!

Cathy Burke, Managing Director at Travel Counsellors Ireland says; “Imelda’s journey is a real success story and we are blessed to have her as part of our community. During the pandemic, she kept her cool and was a big player in encouraging everyone to remain positive. We are very happy she chose us when deciding on her career trajectory.”

I have worked in the travel industry for seven years, from working in American Holidays and The Travel Corporation I have a wealth of knowledge of all aspects of travel. Before joining ITTN I worked for Facebook which gave me the inside knowledge of the wonderful world of social media. I have a BSc in Event Management and am also a qualified beauty therapist (which definitely comes in handy in this business). Recently I joined the AWTE Ireland committee and I am enjoying working with and connecting with the network of women in travel.
