There are few people I enjoy talking through a problem or complex question with more than Briley. Her intelligence, perceptiveness, and wit make her a wonderful thought partner. Briley has a broad set of professional experiences to draw from and a fantastic network. She is a deep thinker with a great sense of humor--and that is a pretty irresistible combination.

Ben Garcia

Executive Director, American L.G.B.T.Q+ Museum

Briley is a trusted coach and confidant. She brings deep experience in museums, pragmatism, and a dose of good humor to every conversation. As a skilled educator, she draws out what is most meaningful to you.

Emily Blumenthal

Educator in Charge, Teaching and Learning, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Briley is an invaluable resource as a coach and consultant to museums. She is caring and intuitive in how she responds to clients. She is also a genuinely positive and kind person to be around. She draws from years of experience in museums and higher education, but her strengths also include how well she listens and responds to each situation and institution. Briley sees the big picture in terms of the culture of the workspace and can break down advice into manageable steps. Whether for career coaching or museum program development, she can assess and offer new perspectives on your situation with concrete advice on how to move forward. Her guidance goes beyond an evaluative response, instead focusing on how each person and organization can achieve their goals through strategic practices that capitalize on passions and strengths.
