More about Barb...
I was always a go-getter. A high-achiever. Upon finishing my studies in psychology from Tufts and Oxford Universities (summa cum laude), I did the crazy thing – went to Hollywood to pursue my childhood dream – and became an actor on a prime-time NBC TV Series. First job out of the gate.
More roles ensued, but the more I worked, the more I realized that the most impact and use of my brain would be behind the camera. I moved to a career as a studio executive, working for Paramount, Disney, and eventually running a division of the new movie studio, Dreamworks. From there, I was promoted over to SVP’ing two dot.com companies at Bill Gross’s Idealab in which Dreamworks had a stake.
Wild success followed by anyone’s standards… but so did depletion, burnout, and an environment of poor leadership and culture.
Thus began my studies of the human potential movement. I wanted career success for sure, but I wanted to lead in an inspired and motivating way, with integrity and heart. I also wanted to stay true to my personal life commitments – which included marriage and children, physical health, rich friendships, and other personally meaningful endeavors.
I feverishly began studying the tenets of the most respected luminaries in the arenas of peak performance, inspired leadership, boundaries, and balance.
This material was so fascinating – life-changing – that I decided to dedicate my life to it. I went back to graduate school for a Masters in Spiritual Psychology, and commenced working with extraordinary coaches, mentors, psychologists and in transformational courses from which I have developed my philosophy, methodology, and unparalleled program of change.
Barb Wade Coaching has just celebrated our 23rd year, and we’re here to champion you. Imagine enhancing your own personal leadership, ascending with authority in your career, and weaving a life of profound significance.
