Meet Ken Kilday
Ken is a former executive leader and current Executive Coach and Business Strategist. He uses the diversity and depth of his leadership experience to help CEOs, Business Owners, and Executives become better leaders, make better decisions, and deliver better personal and professional results.
Whether by implementing the Making the Cut™ business operating system, individual coaching, or team effectiveness work – the unifying principle is awareness. The highest-performing leaders use keen awareness to do three things consistently:
- They step away from their day-to-day responsibilities to think about and focus *on* the business rather than *in* it.
- They connect with other leaders in similar roles and share learnings to help each other make important, more informed decisions.
- They constantly seek outside perspectives for new and innovative ideas to bring into their businesses.
Ken’s unique ability to connect with others, help them reflect objectively, and confront challenges with courage leads to positive results in business and at home.
Ken Kilday provides leadership coaching services across the Southwest, including in Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Henderson & Boulder City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Verde Valley to name a few.
