LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT for WOMEN in TECH

"Your voice is the most powerful tool you possess. Embrace it, empower it, and let it unleash the magic of your authentic self."

 Welcome!

I’m Áine Corcoran, and I help women in tech thrive.

Based in Dublin, Ireland, I’m an ICF certified executive and leadership coach with over two decades of sales leadership experience in the technology industry. I help women in tech embrace their authentic selves, lead confidently through their core values, and create a ripple effect of impact and transformation across their organisations.

Balancing my role as a mother to a lively toddler with my professional life has given me insight into the challenges of managing competing responsibilities. This fuels my commitment in supporting my clients as they navigate their various roles, whatever they might be, striving for balance and fulfilment.

My passion lies in encouraging and elevating others to reach their full potential. I envision a world where both men and women have equal support, opportunities and environments to excel and make a difference. By amplifying diverse voices and perspectives, we can drive true innovation and create measurable impact for all.

  • "I can’t recommend Áine enough. I saw the impact in my day to day almost immediately."

    Áine created a non-judgement, safe space from day 1, which really helped me to open-up about things in work that were grating on me. She helped me prepare for projects, got me thinking about the bigger picture and the take aways from each session have helped me in my role. The tasks we would set together not only made me accountable but ensured progress through small manageable changes."

 Dear Leader,

I see you… the passionate visionary striving to make a difference, the multifaceted woman balancing career ambitions and personal fulfilment. In quiet moments, you might wonder if you're doing enough, being enough. Some days, it feels like walking a tightrope.

But what if balance isn't about perfect equilibrium, but integration? What if your authenticity could be your leadership superpower? What if your diverse roles could fuel your success rather than hinder it?

Imagine stepping into a boardroom, your confidence radiating, your voice clear and strong as you make strategic decisions aligned with your values. Picture yourself navigating change with grace and inspiring others through your authentic leadership. Picture fostering an environment where creativity flourishes and diversity is celebrated.

This isn't just a dream; it's your potential reality.

 Meet Áine

When I first stepped into leadership, fear and self-doubt were my constant companions.

I questioned whether I was good enough. The learning curve was steep and I found myself constantly comparing myself to others.

Everything changed when I began working with coaches. They helped me uncover my unique strengths and perspectives. I learned to embrace my authentic self and my leadership journey accelerated.

Through senior leadership roles, I built and scaled complex sales organisations while nurturing a coaching culture within my teams. I focused on fostering people-first environments that prioritise psychological safety and inclusivity, and observed how that unlocked creativity, boosted performance and drove results across the board.

Now, as the founder of Authentic Leadership, I’m dedicated to guiding women through their own transformative journeys. Are you ready to discover the power of your authentic leadership?
