DOING THE DIFFICULT INNER WORK THAT

Builds Better Leaders

To be a great leader, you need to understand yourself and make decisions that are aligned with your core beliefs and values. Authenticity is the essential foundation of good leadership. What makes you human – empathy, connection, drive to accomplish something meaningful, courage to innovate, and capacity to learn from mistakes – is also what makes you successful.

Welcome

McDonald Graham, LLC is a leadership development and coaching partnership between clinical psychologist, Dr. Julie McDonald, and organizational psychologist, Dr. Lisa Graham. Together, our mission is to facilitate the difficult inner work that enables people to become their best selves. By employing research-based approaches from the field of psychology to the workplace, we put psychology to work enhancing skill sets that are often neglected in leadership development.

At McDonald Graham we believe that:

Humans at their best make better leaders.
Leaders at their best make better organizations.
Organizations at their best make a better world.

Whether it’s through 1:1 coaching or our leadership workshops for groups — Transforming Success® and Dare to Lead™ — we facilitate the difficult inner work that builds better leaders.
