I have been an entrepreneur, managing partner, and investor who crossed continents for love. Now, as a leadership, business and peak performance coach, I fight to bring my clients’ dreams into reality.

The road to get here was far from smooth.

I left a billion-dollar corporation in Ireland, moved to NYC for love, and went from bartending to running one of the city’s largest hospitality groups within two years, I was 29.

As a leader I was expected to have all the answers, I had to weigh up risk/reward and sometimes I got it wrong. 

I have overcome the challenges of staff members stealing and leaders being drunk on the job, people not showing up. I balanced the books and kept us in business when most would have failed. I systemized a way for me to do the same amount of work that took six people in my sister locations.

I have taken part in multi-million dollar raises and bet on the wrong startup. Three times.

I have made poor decisions in my personal and professional life. That taught me how to navigate conflict-heavy conversations, and how to develop great realationships and teams.

I wish I had the Ciaran of today back when I was struggling as a leader, he would have helped me emotionally and mentally, as both an advisor and a coach.

No one is perfect, we all have so much to learn. I like people who want to see their blind spots so they can then choose if they want to change them, or not. 

Growth as a leader will ripple in all areas of your life and help with feeling fulfillment. 

By the way, fulfillment is where growth collides with giving. I find that by constantly growing and learning, so I can give more to my clients. I want that for you too.

People want to work with me because of my calmness under pressure, my ability to hear them, my direct no B.S. nature, and my desire to demand the best from them so they stretch further when they want to play it safe.

And when they stumble,  they have someone to help them stay in the fight.

If I sound like someone you want in your corner, we should talk.
