Close Up Radio to Feature Psychologist and Leadership Coach Dr. Irene Bradford

Close Up Radio

Charlottesville, VA - Irene Bradford, PhD has over 30 years of leadership experience which encompasses a time when she had a topnotch role in the financial industry, but sensed it was not her true calling. Her real passion was knowing people, their identities, goals, strengths, and motivations. So, she pursued Psychology first, with an MA in Counseling, and then a PhD in Clinical Psychology. Young Irene became a doctor but not in the medical sense her father once envisioned. Dr. Bradford’s special insight into people’s strengths and leadership style help to set her apart as a leadership coach. Knowing that she has done her own dreamwork and it won’t feel like a doctor-patient relationship but more like a conversation with someone who has been down this river before is yet another distinction for this leadership development professional. Her unique systems, tools, and psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories are used while helping people uncover it all. Dr. Bradford has a singular method of guiding clients towards getting to know themselves. It is grounded in psychology, and she once maintained a small clinical practice. She co-founded (with now-retired husband and partner Bob) The Bradford Leadership Group in 2004. Client missions include staffing support, leadership development services, or someone to help them develop bench strengths. Dr. Bradford put some of this strategic approach into a book manuscript that she is currently shopping around to publishers. The book’s title is Being You: We Are So Much More Than an Algorithm.
