Welcome

We are pleased to welcome you to Kylemore, Ireland for Inspirational Leadership at Kylemore on October 5 – 9, 2026.

Inspirational Leadership at Kylemore is a transformational week for experienced, successful executive leaders seeking higher-level development and a new perspective on how to embrace the challenges of a highly competitive and complex environment. In taking this holistic, integral approach to leadership, you will find multiple opportunities for personal and professional growth via feedback and reflection on your own values, competencies and even your limiting strengths.

During the week, you will: 

  • Reflect on your values, gain critical insights and self-awareness, and emerge with a reinvigorated vision of yourself as a leader
  • Advance your abilities to manage complexity, build resilience and lead change
  • Develop your leadership capacity and impact
  • Experience a robust 360-degree leadership assessment and an impactful 90-minute one-on-one executive coaching session
  • Create real solutions to a key business or leadership issue
  • Approach leadership from a holistic perspective – including self, others, organizational culture and business results

“The course and setting were truly inspirational, and I’m very privileged to have shared the journey with such a wonderful group of leaders. “ Kate McGuinness- Head of Managed Services, Sigmar Recruitment Consultants Limited
