This is the first episode in this two-part special, where Sarah sits down with Ciarán Casey, Director of My Learning Limited and author of Leadership in Tune.
In part one, Ciaran walks us through his career, from programming on IBM systems in the 1980s, through GE Capital, a startup venture with his brother, and back into corporate life at First Active.
Ciaran has moved across five or six industries over a three-decade career, a pattern most people avoid, choosing instead to build deep expertise in one lane. In this conversation, he unpacks what actually drove those moves: not ambition or a grand plan, but a restlessness with stability and a constant pull toward growth and challenge.
Along the way, Ciaran shares the personal framework he uses for big decisions: weighing not which choice avoids regret, but which regret is easier to live with.
In part 2, Sarah and Ciarán dig deeper into his decision-making framework around regret, and the leadership model behind his book Leadership in Tune.
