Inside Coaching: A 45-minute executive conversation on what's shaping enterprise coaching
Inside Coaching is a small, invitation-only fireside series for the senior HR and Talent leaders who own executive coaching inside large, complex organizations. Each session is an off-the-record conversation — no slides, no recording — with a peer who has built this work at scale.
For this session, CoachSource Founder Brian Underhill sits down with Kristen Kirkland, Ph.D., Managing Director, Head of Executive Performance at JPMorgan Chase.
