Welcome – I’m Tiarnan O’Kane
Thanks for stopping by. I’m an independent consultant with over a decade of experience in sales, marketing, and business development. My work centres on helping people grow – as leaders, as professionals, and as entrepreneurs. I didn’t begin my career in this industry. I originally studied law at Queen’s University Belfast, graduating with an LLB in 2012. Since then, my journey has taken me from hospitality to running businesses in Belfast and Liverpool, and even spending six months consulting in Atlanta. What has always driven me is the team element: creating energetic, people-centred environments where individuals can thrive, develop, and achieve more than they thought possible.
The Leadership Lab is where I share practical insights on leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, and personal growth – all drawn from real-world experience.
Here you’ll find ideas on modern leadership, building strong teams, high-performance culture, and creating genuine customer connections.
