Coaching with Dr. Corrie is both challenging and energizing. He creates a space where leaders can pause, reflect, and grow—where self-doubt gives way to confidence, and authenticity replaces the pressure to conform. The changes I’ve experienced have been transformative: more confidence, more clarity, and a stronger ability to lead with purpose. It’s a journey every executive should take, because the ripple effect extends far beyond yourself to everyone you influence.

As leaders advance, honest feedback becomes rarer—and more valuable.

That’s why I appreciated Dr Corrie Block’s book, Chief Executive Coach, which challenges conventional ideas about what great coaching really means. He argues that leaders don’t need someone to “hold space”; they need someone who challenges them, expands their thinking, and tells them what others won’t.
In my own work, I’ve seen how transformative that kind of rigor can be. The best coaches—and peers—don’t just listen. They help you see blind spots, refine your judgment, and grow faster than you could alone.
If you’re serious about developing as a leader, Chief Executive Coach offers sharp, practical insight into how to make coaching truly count.
