Strategic support for ambitious, values-driven leaders in complex environments

Coaching for Senior, Middle & Executive Leaders

Leadership & Executive Coaching at H-Suite is designed for leaders who want to grow – not just upwards, but inwards and outwards. Together, we focus on helping you unlock your leadership potential, develop strategic influence, and lead with calm, purpose, and conviction.

The greatest ROI from coaching often comes not just from what you gain – but from what you stop doing: second-guessing, firefighting, or leading from survival instead of strategy.

About Me: Ciarán Hourican​

I’m the Managing Director of H-Suite, and I’ve spent the last two decades helping professionals lead with clarity, purpose, and power.

My work spans corporate leadership, public service and complex organisations – from prisons and health services to multinational teams and high-stakes strategic leadership.

I’ve supported:

  • Executives in high-growth companies across multinationals and SMEs
  • Department heads in the HSE, Tusla, and An Garda Síochána
  • Senior leaders in local authorities and civil service roles
  • NGOs, and global consultancies

My coaching blends strategic insight, practical frameworks, and a deep commitment to long-term behavioural change. I bring both empathy and accountability – offering a space that challenges you while also championing your growth.

I am a certified Executive Coaching, award-winning post graduate student and highly experienced in psychometric profiling, and I also regularly train senior leaders — giving me a 360-degree understanding of leadership dynamics from both sides of the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re facing increasing complexity, feeling stuck in your leadership style, or preparing for a career leap, coaching provides space to refocus, refine, and lead more effectively.

Training builds knowledge. Coaching builds insight and application. Coaching is 1:1, focused entirely on your real-life challenges, and helps you embed change, not just understand it.

Absolutely – I’ve worked extensively with the HSE, civil service departments, Gardaí, Fire Fighters and local authorities. I understand the political, procedural, and personal dynamics of these environments.

Many clients are funded through L&D budgets, and I can provide documentation or liaise with HR if needed. Skillnet funding is also available for eligible Irish companies.

(Please note: organisational rates vary from individual rates.)

You can book additional coaching hours at €250 + VAT per session, or we can design a longer programme based on your goals.
