Helping Executives Develop Their Leadership Skill Set
so they can confidently lead high-performing teams and achieve their professional goals, and execute the organization’s strategy.
Josh Ellison
Business Leadership Coach
It’s almost impossible for leaders to take their teams further than they’ve gone themselves. You have to lead yourself first if you want others to genuinely follow you.
Believe me...i know your pain.
I’ve been there...
It's 2 AM, and you're wide awake, staring at the ceiling. Your mind races with a jumble of thoughts—tomorrow's critical meeting, the team's missed deadline, your child's upcoming recital, and that nagging feeling that despite your success, you're somehow falling behind.
And I've been here...
As you review the day's schedule, you realize every minute is packed with meetings. Your heart sinks, knowing you'll have no time to work on the strategic plan that's crucial for scaling let alone your own professional development. You're trapped in the day-to-day, unable to focus on growth.
And...I Know It Can Be Different for You.
What if...
Looking at your smartwatch as you end your workday. Instead of a flood of urgent messages, you see congratulations pouring in from your team—they've just successfully completed a key project without your constant oversight. You feel a deep sense of pride, knowing that your leadership development journey has created a self-sufficient team capable of achieving ambitious goals for the organization.
Picture this...
You confidently walk into your next company 360 review because you know the work you’ve been doing on your leadership, and so does your boss, peers, and team. There is no doubt in your mind that you’ll achieve your goals, and help those around you achieve theirs too.
Imagine this...
You're sitting on a beach, not checking your email or on your phone because you know your team is handling things. You feel safe in the knowledge that you’ve done the work on your leadership to successfully prepare them for challenges in your absence. You then sip that tropical cocktail in your hand, smile and watch the sunset. This is the good life!

About Josh Ellison & Leader Circles
Josh Ellison has been an executive coach and facilitator for the past 10 years, and has worked with hundreds of leaders and managers along the way. His mission when creating Leader Circles was to help busy executives integrate personal and professional growth into their daily lives with minimal friction and maximum impact.
It's important to note that Josh has been where you are. He's often been called a "leader of leaders" or "the CEO whisperer".

When Josh isn't coaching and mentoring leaders, he enjoys walking with his wife, Kirsten, hanging out with his adult children, savoring a delicious over-priced coffee, or sitting and sipping an old fashioned with his favorite bourbon (Trails End) while listening to Sonny Rollins.
