Barbara M. Korosec
Founder, Barb Korosec Consulting Group
Barb guides those in key passages of their lives – be they personal or
professional. She loves to work with passionate and motivated people
keen on making the transformational changes necessary to reach their
goals. Her coaching is marked by laser-sharp clarity, down-to-earth
wisdom, and a hint of playfulness. Drawing from an eclectic range of
professional and leadership experiences, Barb has finely tuned intuition
that is both knowing and spacious.
Prior to establishing her own consulting and coaching practice, Barb held several positions at Northrop
Grumman Corporation, where she also served as an internal leadership coach. She led a multi-year
program to implement, then upgrade, a common learning management system across a corporation of
120,000 employees and seven business sectors. This large-scale change effort required extensive
influential leadership across organizational boundaries and working through more than 125 team
members. Barb has been very instrumental in the development of leaders, leadership programs, and
integrated succession planning and performance management.
Keenly interested in working with organizations and teams to achieve improved business outcomes,
Barb was trained as a Six Sigma Black Belt. As such she consulted to several staff functions, including
Business Management and Business Development, in the use of Six Sigma methodology to improve
organizational performance. This unique background enables Barb to offer leaders and their teams a
blend of process and business knowledge, an understanding of team dynamics, and engaging facilitation
to create the outcomes they seek.
Prior to joining Northrop Grumman, Barb was a naval officer, serving in a variety of line and staff
assignments. She led a division of 100 computer technicians that were responsible for highly
sophisticated flight simulators, served as a leadership instructor and course coordinator at the United
States Naval Academy, served as the deputy of a 150-person recruiting district, managed a $400 million
joint exercise program for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and served in strategic human
resource planning assignments on the Navy staff.
In addition to an undergraduate degree in Psychology, Barb received a Masters Degree in Human
Performance Systems from Marymount University, a Masters Degree in International and Strategic
Studies from the Naval War College, and a Masters in Finance from American University. Barb holds
multiple certifications in coaching and assessments, including one as an equine assisted coach that
denotes mastery at integrating coaching with equine experiential activities. Barb is also a certified
trainer for The Bigger Game®, a model for innovation and growth.
