Virginia Murray

Virginia brings years of experience as a business executive and as one of Canada’s most respected executive search professionals to her coaching practice. She is passionate about working with executives and leaders to help them realize their full potential, adjust to new dynamics and challenges, or hone their leadership skills. Her experience working with hundreds of executives as either candidates or clients has given her in-depth insights into successful leadership, as well as many of the pitfalls along the way.

As a coach, Virginia is valued for her total commitment to her client’s successful outcomes. She is energetic, pragmatic and positive in her approach to the coaching partnership. Her clients know that she is someone who they can absolutely trust to listen, to challenge, to reflect, and to work with them as an experienced professional and trusted catalyst as they work toward their own individual goals.

Virginia began her career as an organizational and leadership consultant with a particular focus on succession planning and the identification, assessment and development of high potential leaders. Her career has always involved working with organizations and individuals to help them become “best in class”. Her coaching focuses on executives who are new to their roles, looking to improve their leadership skills, preparing themselves for promotion, or dealing with change and transformation in their workplace.

Virginia has an undergraduate degree in Honours Economics from Smith College, followed by post-graduate work at the London School of Economics. She is a graduate of the Coaches Training Institute, with a CPCC certification and an ICF accreditation. She is also a graduate of the ICD.D programme from the Rotman School of Management and a certified EQ-i 2.0 (Emotional Intelligence) assessor.
