About Brett Barbour
With over 15 years of experience in executive recruitment and human resources, I’ve shaped leadership teams across corporate, higher education, and nonprofit environments. My work has focused on building thoughtful, equitable hiring practices and recruitment strategies that strengthen both organizational performance and human potential.I’ve led complex, global executive searches; partnered closely with senior leaders and search firms; and supported organizations in diversifying leadership in meaningful, measurable ways. I’m equally proud of my commitment to mentoring early-career HR professionals and helping create cultures where inclusion is practiced, not just stated.I am the founder of Passageways Coaching, where I work with individuals navigating career transitions, periods of change, and moments that call for clarity, self-trust, and forward movement. This coaching practice is grounded in my background in talent, leadership assessment, and deep one-on-one partnership.Alongside my coaching work, I remain open to full-time opportunities where my experience in executive recruitment, talent strategy, and values-driven leadership can have meaningful impact—particularly in environments that value thoughtfulness, rigor, and human-centered decision-making.I bring strong relationship-building skills, strategic perspective, and a steady commitment to doing work that aligns purpose with results. I’m always glad to connect with others engaged in leadership, coaching, talent, and the evolving future of work.
