About Barb

I am an executive coach and seasoned operator with over 25 years of experience helping leaders and organizations scale—without losing clarity, culture, or their minds. I've held executive roles in global HR, operations, and communications; led cross-functional teams spanning IT, Security, and Real Estate; and owned a P&L for over a decade. I have coached and advised founders, CEOs, and leaders as they navigate growth, complexity, tough decisions, and team dynamics. My style is direct but thoughtful—grounded in decades of real-world leadership experience and always in service of helping clients lead with more clarity, greater intention, and better results—on their terms. Credentials & Experience • 25+ years in executive leadership across General Management, HR, Operations, and Communications • Board Director • MBA • Completing Graduate Certificate in Executive & Leadership Coaching • Actively credentialing for the Professional Certified Coach via ICF • SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) • Based in Richardson, Texas • Empty-nester with two college aged children • Dual U.S./Canadian Citizen

Why do I coach?

Coaching helps clients gain clarity and turn it into action. The best leaders know they don’t have to do it all alone. They know when it’s time to step back, think differently, and work with someone who’s fully in their corner. I work with high-performing leaders who want to lead more effectively, work through challenges with intention, and make real progress on what matters. I support clients by creating space for them to step out of the day-to-day—and step up to the next level. Whether you’re navigating complexity, growth, or reinvention, coaching is a place to reset your focus and move forward—thoughtfully and powerfully. One-on-one coaching is tailored to your goals, role, and reality. Clients come to coaching with goals as unique as they are—but many focus on: • Leading through growth, change, or complexity • Leveling up as a new or evolving leader • Rebuilding energy and confidence after burnout or setbacks • Improving team dynamics, communication, and trust • Navigating tension or stuck points with clarity and grace • Clarifying their voice, vision, or long-term path • Navigating a career pivot or job search • Preparing for the next big leap in their career
