Richard Brown Coaching

Richard Brown Coaching is a Malden-based leadership and executive coaching practice that also works on workforce development. Clients come with a range of goals, such as an exciting but daunting vision, an obstacle slowing them down, a change they want to effect, or an area they want to develop. Rather than applying a standard program, the coach designs a bespoke learning process for each person, aiming to get below the surface to what the objective actually requires.

The approach draws on more than 30 years of study in neuroscience, behavioral science and meditative traditions, used to help clients untangle the complexities of human behavior and turn that insight into actionable projects. Clients describe the coach as warm, empathetic and emotionally supportive, while he also brings strength and resolve when it is time to face hard truths. Much of the work involves learning to be OK with discomfort, since much of what people want lies outside their comfort zone.
