Complex problems.
Clear solutions.
I bring together organizational psychology, talent assessment and development, and change management to solve complex workplace challenges with new approaches.
Barbara Cole, M.A.
Talent Assessment • Talent Development • Organizational Change • Innovative People Solutions
I bring over 20 years of experience to the intersection of psychology, assessment, and fairness. A bilingual specialist in talent assessment and development, I have shaped careers and organizations from the inside out by designing staffing and development tools, creating competency frameworks at the core, technical, and leadership levels, and guiding professionals toward best practices that are both rigorous and humane.
My expertise spans a wide range of applied psychology and psychometrics: from constructing different types of tests, questionnaires, and rating scales to interpreting results and delivering meaningful development feedback. Fluent in both official languages and in quantitative and qualitative research methods, I have conducted training in academic and government settings.
Known for my genuine passion for human assessment and well-being, and my talent for translating insights into real-world impact, I create learning experiences and tools that are practical, evidence-based, and engaging.
I hold a Master's degree in Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in French, and have authored peer-reviewed scholarly publications in social psychology.
