Barbara Gronsky, Ph.D.

I am a consulting psychologist who helps individuals across the life span gain additional success and satisfaction in their careers and in the workplace. My unique background, with expertise in corporate executive coaching, career management and business psychology is a powerful combination for helping individuals in a range of careers and industries. Signature strengths involve deep insight combined with a warm, practical and individually tailored approach to addressing client needs. As a corporate executive coach for the past 25 years, I catalyze the development of an organization’s most valued managers and executives. The individuals I work with become more versatile leaders. They increase “soft skills” and emotional intelligence. They align their “formula for success” with what is required to deliver business results, under shifting economic conditions or organizational changes. Organizations also hire me to help managers and executives explore and map out “best-fit” career paths, and deliver outplacement services when a more personalized approach is desired. My private practice offers the public customized services in the areas of career planning and assessment, job search strategy, and counseling to maximize career success. Sample situations I address: teenagers mapping out a career direction, college graduates challenged by launching their careers; midlife career changers; individuals re-entering the work force or retirees wishing to find renewed challenge and fulfillment. I help them to explore their options, gain needed skills, put together an action plan, and maintain accountability for achieving their goals. My extensive exposure to the business world and organizational life allows me to work particularly well with highly successful individuals who seek advancement or to take their careers to the next level. Always interested in new clients and projects, networking and reconnecting with former colleagues. Specialties: executive coaching, leadership development, career counseling, career planning, job search coaching, stress management, psychological assessment
