I. Barry Goldberg, PCC
Summary
Leadership matters. I support leaders and teams who are tackling the issues facing the modern workplace every day. Spending the time to assess, coach and develop leaders and their organizations to build the specific ecosystem they need to thrive, separates those who flourish and those who fail. Technology, processes, innovation all matter— the only advantage a competitor cannot replicate is leadership culture.
I have deep experience in facilitating complex business relationships and developing leaders. From large corporations to startups, I’ve tackled complex business structures, assisted in the launch of new ventures, coached individual leaders and guided companies into new phases of growth. I provide leadership development, organizational impact consulting, facilitation and executive coaching to companies who are serious about sustainable competitive advantage.
