About Core Leadership

Carson Mulholland and Jeremy Gardiner formed Core Leadership in 2015. They were determined to help companies and other organisations get the very best from their leaders.

They recognised that there were often barriers, both real and psychological, that prevented leaders within companies from achieving their full potential – barriers that could be removed through effective and expert coaching. Their overriding aim is to make a tangible and significant difference to people’s lives, releasing the best that is already within them.
