Coaching and mentoring for your next generation of leaders.
Let's fix your leadership pipeline
Your best people are burning out - or worse checking out. Workplace BS is killing your best people. I know, I've seen it first hand.
I can help you build leaders who actually lead - leaders who’ll understand the commercial dynamics, and know how to inspire, support, and guide their teams to success.
I get the business side. But too often the workforce feels like another line on a spreadsheet. Empathy and strategy need to work together to cultivate an environment where people want to stay, grow, and thrive. Done right, it can transform an entire organisation. And it starts with creating leaders who foster that culture.
Leadership isn’t just about titles and authority. It’s about motivating and holding space for the people below you, who actually do the work, so they feel heard, valued and supported to keep going, even when times are tough.
Let’s change that - so you keep your talent and your sanity.
Why this works
- Leadership built on empathy leads to higher retention and job satisfaction.
- Empathy isn’t a “soft skill” - it’s the backbone of building trust, loyalty, and performance.
- Real-world strategies and experience help bridge the gap between leadership theory and everyday challenges.
The Approach
A true leader can lead any function. Great leaders drive results not because of their job title, but because they know how to bring out the best in their teams.
Yet, many businesses promote high performers into leadership roles without equipping them with the skills to lead. At the same time, ambitious employees often see leadership as a title rather than a responsibility.
This is where businesses go wrong.
I work one-on-one with leaders over six months, meeting twice a month to develop them into effective, inspiring leaders.
This isn’t theory - it’s action.
Your business becomes the case study, so your leaders apply what they learn in real time, delivering immediate value and tangible results.
What an example program might include:
- Month 1: Foundations of Leadership and Business
- Month 2: Financial & Commercial Literacy
- Month 3: Thinking and Planning
- Month 4: Building Influence and Leading Teams
- Month 5: Commercial Acumen and Decision-Making
- Month 6: Personal Development and Visionary Leadership
When I first met Ciara, I was overwhelmed - juggling multiple projects, financial targets, and a team. She was the calm and clarity I needed, helping me prioritise, simplify, and create an actionable plan. Her coaching built my confidence and had a lasting impact on my leadership and career.

I recently worked with Ciara, and I can honestly say it was a game-changer for my career. She offered practical, tailored advice that went beyond generic tips - it was personalised and actionable. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to level up their career or find more purpose in their work
