Barbara Roche

Barbara wants to help you transform your team, your leadership skills, your public speaking prowess, and help you achieve world domination. OK, forget the last one. Barbara is a genius according Malcolm Gladwell’s definition of 10,000 hours. She has spent the last twenty years designing and facilitating workshops around these skillsets.

When not running a program, Barbara is an executive coach, helping clients advance their careers and achieve their personal and professional goals.

For the last ten years, Barbara taught leadership communication at The Wharton School of Business, and still consults with the McNulty Leadership Program. She believes that at the core of any successful leader or high-performing team is the ability to communicate well. She combines her naturally-buzzed energy with her Irish Catholic humor and hard-won leadership skills to help professionals thrive at work.

Barbara is a certified facilitator with the NeuroLeaderhip Institute and Corporate Coach University. A native Bostonian, Barbara is a proud member of Red Sox Nation. She lives a secret life as a fitness instructor. Her favorite motivational saying, which she is pretty sure she made up herself, is: no one can do push-ups for you.
