About Kevin Conway

I am an EMCC Certified Executive Coach.

Qualifications & Background

I hold Professional Diplomas in both Leadership Development and Business and Executive Coaching from Smurfit Business School Dublin, one of the top-ranking business schools in Europe.

I hold a first-class honours degree in Information Technology from Dublin Institute of Technology and a Master’s degree in Digital Investigations and Forensic Computing from University College Dublin.

After a career break to raise my two sons, I pivoted to Coaching, providing Executive, Life and Leadership Coaching in South Dublin and Ireland.

Experience

I have participated in the workforce since the age of 18, serving an apprenticeship as a welder before moving into IT, Management and Data Analytics, eventually serving as a senior manager in the Civil Service.

I know what it’s like to work until your bones ache, to navigate "rough and ready" environments, and to wonder if the house and the lifestyle you want are forever out of reach. I didn't just study human behaviour in a textbook; I lived it alongside the best and worst of people on the front lines of industry. When I say I understand your struggle, it isn’t a coaching platitude, it’s a lived reality.

The Ambition to Climb

I believe in the climb. I spent six years in night school while working full-time to earn my Degree in IT and my Master’s in Digital Forensics. I navigated the complexities of the Civil Service, rising to the level of Assistant Principal Officer. I am a capitalist who understands that money and freedom are the twin engines of a satisfying life.

I know that ambition is a virtue, and that using your talents to get ahead is the most honourable thing you can do for yourself and your family.

The Why

The goal is not to get you off the "treadmill". The goal is to help you find a better, more principled way to strive for something more.

I have powered my way out of the tough spots, and I've climbed the ranks of leadership. Now, I'm here to help you do the same.

No false promises. Just the grit, the science, and the solutions to get you where you want to go.
