What is Executive Coaching?
Executive coaching is a collaborative, individualized process that helps leaders become more effective, agile, and impactful in their roles.
At Kirke Leadership Inc., we create trusted, judgment-free spaces where leaders develop awareness, influence, and emotional intelligence to thrive in complex environments.
Business Coaching vs. Executive Coaching vs. Life Coaching
There are many different kinds of coaching - and understanding the difference in each can really help you understand what is the correct path forward. Executive coaching is not life coaching, and it is not business coaching either.
