I learned about the High-Performance Coaching Academy from a colleague, and I’m happy that my team and I took part. Unlike typical leadership development programs, this one delivers practical, tailored learning and expert coaching to address real workplace challenges. Wendy Glass, with her remarkable ability to connect and inspire, masterfully balances encouragement with collaborative challenges, fostering both personal and professional growth. Having a program of this caliber available locally is a game-changer, empowering organizations in our region to tackle operational and talent challenges with confidence and drive sustainable success.
-Chris McKlarney, Chief Administrative Officer
Finding quality leadership development programs that are engaging, practical and productive is difficult, Wendy’s unique coaching approach and her ability to lean into the participants and connect is what helped to make the instruction so meaningful and truly impact the work we do through local government here in Pulaski County.
-Jonathan Sweet, Chief Administrative Officer
Recently we worked with Wendy to bring a leadership bootcamp to our organization and the impact was tremendous. She has decades of experience and is able to come alongside you to consult, coach, guide and develop leaders. As the HR leader, I’ve witnessed first-hand the impact this program had on our team and the feedback from our leaders was positive, with them feeling better equipped and more prepared to lead others. I highly recommend Wendy and Ignite Leadership.
