About Padraig
Our Approach
In 2012, Padraig started as an executive coaching company, providing exceptional one-to-one coaching to leaders who wanted to be better.
Since then, we’ve grown to include programs to build more cohesive leadership teams, coach-led leadership peer programs bringing leaders from many industries together for shared growth and leadership building programs used by client organizations throughout North America.
Through all that growth I’m proud that we’ve remained a client-focused boutique leadership firm – working with larger clients to create bespoke programs while providing done-for-you leadership programs for smaller clients.
