Ciaran Barry
Executive Career Coach
I’m Ciaran Barry, an executive career coach specialising in helping individuals build the career they dream of. Using my proven three-step framework, I help clients create a success strategy, develop a clear action plan, and build the confidence to make that quantum leap.
How did I come to do this? At 17, I left school and moved to Germany, where I spent four years working in a pub. By 22, I returned to Ireland without a degree, working as an assistant bar manager. I knew I wanted more for my life, but I had no qualifications and lacked self-belief.
Despite the odds, I landed a customer service role at a major tech company. Within four years, I more than doubled my salary and secured a role that typically required a bachelor’s degree. Reflecting on my journey, I realised my success wasn’t just down to hard work but a powerful mindset and a clear vision for my life.
I used to feel stuck in my career and personal life, mainly because I lacked the confidence and self-belief to go after the things I really wanted in life. Through coaching I have completely changed my life which led me to building my signature framework which has now helped dozens of people change their lives.
As a certified coach with an Advanced Diploma in Personal, Leadership, and Executive Coaching from Kingstown College Dublin, I’m dedicated to helping others succeed. I also hold qualifications in business management, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioural therapy, ensuring my clients receive expert guidance in both career growth and personal development.
