Leadership that brings out the best in people

The way you lead creates the conditions around you. It influences whether people can think clearly, speak honestly and work well together.

Cara Leadership helps leaders and teams work through difficult challenges. Much of that comes down to how people relate and work together.

THE CLIENT CHALLENGE

When capable people are not producing what should be possible

Organizations usually reach out because something important is not working as it should.

Your challenges may appear to be separate problems. Often, the same underlying patterns are at work.

This is where I can help.

THE OUTCOMES

Leaders create the conditions

Stronger leadership shows up in the quality of decisions and conversations, and in how much ownership people are willing to take.

A great deal of energy can get tied up in confusion and in the things people are not saying. The work helps release some of that energy back into what matters.

A POINT OF VIEW

People experience more than your words

Leaders are always sending signals. You may ask for honest feedback while signalling that disagreement is unwelcome, or ask others to take ownership while continuing to step in and solve the problem.

People notice these contradictions. When your words and actions match, they have a clearer sense of where they stand with you. That makes honest conversation and real ownership more possible.

What does the way I lead bring out in others?

HOW I HELP

Support shaped around the real challenge

Every engagement begins with the situation you are facing and the change you need to create. The work is tailored to the situation and grounded in the realities of your organization.

Executive Coaching

Leadership Team Development

Leadership Programmes and Workshops

Facilitation and Organizational Change

The form of the engagement matters less than the change it needs to support.

ABOUT

Experience on both sides of the leadership table

I'm Brendan Geary, an executive coach, leadership consultant and facilitator. I believe in the possibility I see in people, and I’m willing to both support and challenge them towards it.

I began my career as a psychologist and have since spent more than three decades working in leadership, consulting, coaching and organizational change. I have held senior roles in major organizations, served on the executive leadership team of a global business and worked with leaders across industries, cultures and levels of responsibility.

That experience matters. I understand leadership from the inside as well as from the coaching chair. I have worked in complex organizations and know what it is like to lead change when the demands keep coming.

Clients tend to experience me as thoughtful and direct. I keep the work practical while helping them look beneath the immediate problem and see what may be keeping it in place.

Brendan is an ICF Professional Certified Coach and is trained in a range of leadership, team and organizational development approaches.
