Barry Nash

He has long been known for his ability to work effectively with professionals at every level of ability and experience — from beginning talent to network anchors.

They also love his passionate belief in them and the work they do. They routinely say his sessions leave them feeling smarter, excited and more committed than ever. And many will tell you that Barry’s coaching helped them move on to even bigger and better things.

In addition to coaching, Barry is the designer and curator of TV HeadCoach®️, the only platform in the world designed for the coaching and development of television news talent.
