The essence of Barney’s approach lies in the belief that optimism and autonomy are indispensable tools for personal and professional growth. His coaching methodology, which has benefited emerging and executive leaders alike, focuses on unlocking goals, building energy, and fostering accountability for long-term transformation.
“I’ve always felt, even early in my days as a manager, that I was helping my teams succeed in their current role, but ultimately, I wanted to help prep them for the next job and the job after that and see them grow to success,” Barney reflects on his early leadership journey. This philosophy has been a driving force throughout his career and now extends to the heart of his coaching practice.
