Leadership Development and Workshops
I help schools, nonprofits, and organizations build stronger leaders and healthier teams.
My sessions are practical and designed to help people lead with more purpose, more clarity, and more confidence.
People leave with language they can use with their teams, as well as insights they can apply for a clearer sense of how to work well together.
I offer two signature workshops: Leadership Styles and Leading Across Generations.
Both are designed for schools and organizations that want to strengthen leadership, team dynamics, and the conditions people need to thrive in their work.
Beyond these, the topics I cover in workshops and at events center on leadership and speak to the pressures people are carrying in schools and organizations today.
Workshops can be delivered as keynote presentations, half-day sessions, or multi-session learning experiences. I shape each experience around your goals, your people, and the challenges you are trying to solve.

Barb White, MA/ACC—Founder
District and cabinet-level education leaders carry consequential decisions, but rarely have an independent, confidential place to think.
I partner with education leaders who are responsible for people, systems, and meaningful results. Through sustained executive coaching and targeted leadership development, I help them clarify what matters, strengthen decision-making, and turn priorities into practical action.
My journey began in public education, where working with students and leaders reinforced the powerful connection between thought-provoking questions and meaningful stories. Over more than 25 years in education and organizational consulting, I’ve served as a teacher, instructional coach, department chair, and senior consultant.
I’ve coached school and district leaders and designed leadership development experiences for education organizations across the country. Along the way, I earned my ICF coaching certification and specialized in leadership, teamwork, and learning strategies.
Good Story Coaching is rooted in the belief that people are at the heart of every decision, and coaching helps them uncover the narrative they want to tell.

Just like IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ (emotional intelligence), TQ—Transitional Quotient—can be developed and strengthened
Imagine standing at the edge of a major life change—a career shift, personal reinvention, or a new season of life. You know change is necessary, but it feels overwhelming. What if you had a roadmap? What if transition wasn’t something to endure, but something you could navigate with confidence?
Transition is a practice, not a one-time event. The good news? There are tools to help you move through change with clarity and resilience.
