Feeling Overwhelmed in Senior Leadership?
Drowning in Work?

The Game Just Changed

The speed, intensity, and sheer volume of leadership at this level can be a shock.

You’re Stuck in the Weeds

Firefighting, bailing out your team, and barely keeping up—this isn’t sustainable.

Stress is High, Impact is Low

If you keep working the same way, you’ll stay overwhelmed and reactive.

The leaders who thrive don’t just work harder—they work differently.

It’s time to step up, shift gears, and take control. Let’s build the leadership engine that gets you out of the weeds and into high-impact leadership.

Lead with Clarity. Operate with Confidence. Thrive at the Top

Developing clear approaches to the complex issues

My name is Dara Lawlor. I’m a business consultant and executive coach. I work with B2B organisations of all sizes – from dynamic SMEs to large enterprises – helping them position themselves to win major contracts. By becoming more focused, capable and competitive some clients have scaled significantly. Others have gone on to sell. All have built stronger, more resilient businesses.

For me, private business is the true engine of the economy and the key to a nation’s vitality.

My ambition is to support their leaders as they build the confident and nimble organisations our countries need.

I’m a keen sportsman, and the lessons I’ve learned from participating in numerous triathlons inform my approach to supporting my clients so that they are fit to win.

Testimonials

Dara has been working one-to-one with a number of my senior team over the last year and a half. He has steadily built their leadership capabilities and as a result has accelerated their careers – some to the extent that they are now ready to assume even more responsibility. I highly recommend him.

Stephen Murphy

Head of Service Delivery, Circet Ireland & UK

Dara has been working with key members of our team, equipping them with new levels of confidence and preparing them for the next levels of responsibility within our small organisation. His work has been seminal, both for the individuals concerned, and their contribution to our company’s future. I unreservedly recommend him as an empathetic coach who helps professionals clarify personal mission and vision, find and focus their mojo and, ultimately, make a difference.

Pádraic Gilligan, Managing Partner

SoolNua

Dara was a port in a storm as I began a new role in a new industry. He was quick to engage and establish a relationship of trust and support. Every time we met he steered me through known and unknown issues at hand, and helped me move forward with tangible plans and confidence. His own wealth of senior experience in people, projects and challenges was a key differentiator as a coach and I would thoroughly recommend him.

Senior Executive

Government Agency

I gave Dara an employee who showed great potential but who lacked an understanding of the mechanisms of business. He gave me back a probable leader who has taken the lid off her perceived limitations and grown in stature in the eyes of those who matter to her career progression.
