Kirk McCarley

With more than 30 years of executive leadership experience in both public and private sector environments, Kirk has a solid reputation for fostering individual growth and development beyond the client’s expectation. As an executive and career coach, his focus is on desired customer outcomes, predicated upon the premise that the individual possesses their ingredients for success.  The coach’s role is to ask the right questions to draw out those ingredients, help the client develop the recipe, and then serve as an accountability partner as the plan manifests. 

Book Reviews

“Kirk’s spirited pursuit of knowledge is a gift to everyone. We can all afford to take a more curious view of the world, and Kirk distills that journey into easily-applied actions and relatable stories for our everyday lives. I’m grateful each week during the college football season to learn from Kirk, and know that you, too, will benefit from his wisdom, insight, and life lessons.”

Mike Couzens

Play-by-play broadcaster, ESPN

"Kirk’s book, like his coaching, uses a Yoda like nudging to truly define how to live at our best.  It’s a book for all of us.   And it teaches how to be a better human through stories and subtle advice, guiding us to live with joy, spiritual purpose and connectedness to the beauty and simplicity of our everyday activities and connections."

Maria Claire Markusen

CEO and Thought Leader

"Good people and good advice is hard to come by. Kirk nails the calling purpose of all parents while transcending parenting. Through short stories, you will get to know more about Kirk, life, and yourself. Not overpowering, nor condescending, Kirk invites you to read and learn from his own life lessons so that you may laugh, live, and grow on your own walk."
