Full Stack Human.
How to stay human in a world ruled by technology.
A research-backed guide to the capabilities leaders need most right now and why most organisations are accidentally training them out of their people.
"Full Stack Human cuts through the hype or fear often surrounding AI, and it sits in the rare space of being both optimistic and clear-eyed about technological change and how that impacts our very core."
"The insights and information feel like a necessary salve to the confounding, maddening complexities of modern existence. There's a certain liberation in understanding why our brains are struggling with the rapidly accelerating pace of technology."
"Timely, relevant and practical! This is a super useful, fun and honest book for anyone wanting help to navigate work and life in 'Brittle, Anxious, non-Linear and Incomprehensible' (BANI) world."
"This book was a clever combination of science-backed research, storytelling and practical application that made it difficult to put down."

"Dara was a breath of fresh air and a natural fit for us here at CRG. We came with an ambitious outcome and not only did she accept the challenge but she upped it, and then delivered. Dara was easy to work with, aligned to the outcomes we needed to see as a business, and adaptable to our business context. The session we co-designed was received incredibly by our senior leaders, many of whom said it was 'our best event yet'."
"Working with Dara has been a game-changer for our organisation. She inspired us to think differently and find innovative ways to engage our people leaders on their transformation journey. Her thought leadership and support were instrumental in bringing a comprehensive program together. The feedback from our participants has been incredible, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dara to anyone looking to drive meaningful change within their organisation."
"The team have absolutely created a spark, turning on a creative culture within our organisation. The feedback was outstanding. We have seen a number of the tools and takeaways continue to show up across our business to unlock new ways of collaborating and building on each other's ideas. Our leadership team is now aware of the power of “Yes, And…”, and we have seen multiple teams introduce play into their organisational rituals."
