Barbara
Braham
Barbara Braham, Ph.D.,
MCC, is an executive and
leadership coach who
works with individuals
who want to move their
organization forward,
and realize their
potential. A member of
the International Coach
Federation, she has
earned their highest
designation, Master
Certified Coach.
Coaching gives Barbara
the opportunity to work
with individuals who,
like herself, are
committed to
professional development
and personal growth. Her
coaching services are
designed to help
leaders:
- get the outcomes
they want in their
work
and in their
relationships
- make successful
transitions into new
roles and
responsibilities
- expand their
capacity to learn
and self-correct
Barbara has worked with
leaders in
not-for-profits,
government, associations
and corporations.
Typically, she is
engaged because a leader
has assumed a new
position, is being
groomed for a higher
position, or to address
a blind spot that is
limiting the
effectiveness of the
leader. She uses a
variety of assessment
tools in her work
including The Leadership
Circle Profile (TLCP)
360, the Maturity
Assessment Profile
(MAP), which assesses
leaders’ stage of
development, and the
MBTI. She was part
of a cadre of Leadership
Circle coaches who
coached in the Notre
Dame Executive Integral
Leadership Program from
2004-2019.
Applying stages of adult
development to her work
with leaders is one
Barbara’s areas of
expertise. She taught a
course in the Georgetown
University Coaching
Certificate Program to
aspiring coaches on how
to coach using a
developmental
perspective from 2008 -
2020. She has also
taught several intensive
workshops to coaches and
leaders on how to
increase their
effectiveness through an
in-depth understanding
of stages of adult
development. She
designed and delivered
an in-house
developmental coach
training program
consistent with ICF
guidelines. Barbara is
certified by Dr. Susanne
Cook-Greuter to
administer, score and
debrief the MAP. Since
the onset of the
pandemic, she has taught
a wide range of webinars
in addition to Stages of
Development, including
Managing Transition and
Integrating Poetry into
Coaching.
An accomplished author,
Barbara has written
eleven books and one
e-book. Be Your
Own Coach, co-authored
with Chris Wahl, is her
latest book.
Finding Your Purpose has
been translated into
seven languages.
She has been an adjunct
faculty member at
Antioch University, the
University of Minnesota,
Wright State University
and The Ohio State
University.
In 2015 Barbara launched
a new program, Living
with the End in Mind,
which is a year-long
program for individuals
who want to prepare for
their death, or the
death of a loved one. As
an adjunct to this, she
offers a specialized
coaching service for
couples who want to
prepare themselves for
the reality that one of
them will die first.
