Are you navigating a transition or standing at a crossroads?

If the internal noise is loud and you're putting on a facade...

lets talk

“I’m not a coach. There is no framework. I think fast. I’m decisive. I’ll tell you what I see. I’ll suggest how you can fix it. Whether you do or not - is up to you. ”

the problem.

You’re pretending everything is under control, but the internal noise suggests otherwise.

Most people try to think their way out of a crossroads by talking to the same people. The problem is people will give you advice based on what they think you should do or how they would handle the situation if it were them. Neither of those solutions are helpful.

Sometimes you don't want a whole program. You don't need a new strategy or a framework to work with. You just want answers to a problem you're staring at - to address the reality you’ve been avoiding so you can move forward. It’s not easy, and it’s rarely comfortable. 

So are you willing to look at this straight?

I provide the intervention that cuts through the fog

Everybody out there has a proprietary framework, a trademarked methodology, or a 6-step pyramid. Most of it is just basic shite dressed up in corporate language to look important.

I refuse to do that. 

Your life and your business are too complex to fit into a template, and you don’t need to be managed through a checklist.

My work doesn’t use corporate jargon because the truth doesn't need a costume. It’s just good, sharp, clear insight. We look at the map straight, find the thing that you can't see or you're ignoring, and find a way forward. That's it.

About me

I don't guess. I’ve seen this play out a thousand times.

Before I spent three years going into the depths of my being to figure out who I am and what makes me tick, I sat at the top table of global organisations for 30 years. I know how the 'performance' is staged because I’ve been part of the cast.

After three years of my own self investigation - I also know how my own performance is staged. I’m wired to see the hidden thing/ the pattern/ the thing you missed that others call 'friction'. 

Whether we sit together for two hours online or six months in person, I’m not here to coach you through a framework; I’m there to say the thing out loud so you can hear your own clarity again.

    I can't say enough positive things about Ciara. She is passionate and empowering, and through her mentorship I was able to make a career move much faster than I would have been able on my own. I took the skills Ciara helped me develop and hone and have turned that into my chosen (and now successful) career path. Ciara has both the personality and experience to help anyone, and I can't think of a better mentor/coach to recommend to others.

  • Anna, UK

    Working with Ciara is like working with a great friend. She's not only interested in your professional journey, but also your values, influences and experiences.

    She uses this holistic, empathetic and intuitive approach to guide you through wobbles and frustrations and to support you to realise what's important and how to achieve your goals. She's also not afraid to tell you when you're not helping yourself – in the nicest, most supportive way! Whenever I meet with Ciara, I come away feeling like life is a bit more achievable!

  • Antony, UK

    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. It's an investment that will pay off in the long run.

  • Gabriel, UK

    Ciara's mentoring and expertise was a game-changer for me. She instilled confidence, while boosting my skills through personalised guidance and mentorship. We worked on building and handling lead generation and pipeline management, while presenting an effective ROI to prospective clients. It has drastically improved my results.

    She genuinely cares about your success, and I highly recommend working with her.

  • Sarah, UK

    When I first met Ciara, I was struggling. I was stressed and overwhelmed trying to manage multiple projects with conflicting deadlines, hit financial targets, manage a team and bring in new opportunities for future targets. I didn't have a commercial background and was all over the place.

    Ciara was the calm and clarity that I needed. We met weekly, and Ciara helped me break everything down in a sensible and manageable way and taught me how to prioritise and understand what I needed to do and when, so I could meet and secure the targets I had been set. Ciara got me to focus, and drown out all the distracting noise around me by giving me tasks to do every week. We turned these tasks into a simple, yet hugely effective plan, which had all the information me, my manager and my team needed in order to do our jobs efficiently.

    Ciara has had such a positive impact on me personally and professionally. She took the time to get to know and understand me and I felt championed and supported from the moment I met her. She helped me discover and celebrate my strengths, understand the areas I need to develop and build my confidence back up. I couldn't recommend Ciara enough, she has made a huge difference to my life.

  • Florencia, Chile

    Ciara has been a key part of my development as a marketing leader. I took on her coaching to help me understand how I could demonstrate the ROI of marketing in a way that made sense to sales and corporate leaders. With this approach, my team and I are more conscious about the numbers and what we are doing. We now have the language to communicate in a more timely and effective manner, to measure our success and when to change our strategy if KPIs are not what we expected from our activities.

    She is amazing.
