About
Deep values motivate a leader’s actions.
George Bragadireanu creates a strategic space of reflection where his clients are invited to provoke the maximum manifestation of their most fundamental motivations. The coaching process always starts and ends with 360 assessments of leadership values, using the golden standard methodology inspired by Abraham Maslow, updated by Scott Barry Kaufmann, and perfected by Richard Barrett.
Reactivity and creativity are both conscious choices.
George Bragadireanu believes in the immense creative spirit of humans. He also thinks a leader’s ego, sometimes and temporarily ossified by certain circumstances, limits this spirit’s freedom and potential. He then uses challenging questions, reframing, reflection, paradoxes, koans, and metaphors to bring back the spark in his clients’ lives (individuals and teams).
Integral Leadership Coaching
Integral refers to an evolutionary understanding of one’s leadership.
Through our approach of values audit, creative spirit orientation and integral methodology, we create premises for a sustainable transformation and an emancipation of the perspective on leadership at high levels of consciousness.
Integral methodology presupposes human potential development by covering four main directions: values and beliefs, actions, relationships, and the larger systemic context. It is based on the works of such scholars as Ken Wilber, Susanne Cook-Greuter, Bob Kegan, Terri O’Fallon, or Peter Senge.

About George Bragadireanu
Childhood, personality, upbringing
In their testimonials, clients often use words and phrases such as energetic, motivating, creative, dedicated, resourceful and intelligent. But who is beyond these appreciations?
George was born in 1975 in Bucharest and lived for the first seven years of his life with his parents in Pitești, where they had their jobs as engineers in large Romanian state-owned companies in the field of energy research and machines building. Throughout his childhood, which continued in 1981 in Bucharest, he showed a remarkable curiosity about all aspects of life and in the conditions of the socialist society of those times his main occupation was to read all the books that came before his eyes regardless of their subject. In addition, he fell in love with certain subjects, such as mathematics, physics and philosophy, which defined his adolescence. He never lost touch with the nature he found in his long summer months with his grandparents. Imagine a teenager with a book under his arm in the middle of nature and with Gazeta Matematică as the main scientific concern, for many years in a row. Around him, the reality of society changed radically and the chaos of the transition from communism to capitalism made him delve even deeper into the study of economics and political science, mathematics and philosophy, which he always saw as sources for him to understand the world in which he lived.
An always free spirit, he chose to pursue in parallel formal studies in economics and mathematics followed by postgraduate school and master’s degree in political science, communication and advertising at the faculties of Bucharest. His preoccupation with communication and the meanings of language led him to write and publish a book of poems at just 20 years old, with lyrics that express philosophical and spiritual ideas about the world and life.
The first jobs were those of specialist in the banking activity within some financial institutions of international scope in which he put into practice his continuous curious spirit and dedicated to the improvement of what he had to do. The natural result was a series of promotions in the management positions of larger and larger teams. He worked and coordinated teams in the field of risk, sales and professional development until 2012 when, after 13 years of corporate activity, he understood that he could be more substantially helpful from the position of external consultant.
A new career
Studies, coaching preparation and interests
In 2012 he founded the company that today is called The Leadership Spark and which has offered organizational training and coaching services from the beginning.
The new activity also involved a new mindset, one of entrepreneurship and at the same time one focused on the development of human creative potential. In support of this change, he followed in the coming years several training schools in coaching.
He chose each of them using as criteria their history, their depth and belonging to a significant lineage: the London School of Performance and Transpersonal Coaching founded by what is considered the father of the coaching industry, Sir John Whitmore, the school of coaching based on neurolinguistic programming and psychotherapy founded by Cătălin Zaharia in Bucharest based on an Austrian curriculum and the Ottawa / Canada integral coaching school founded on the meta-integral philosophy of Ken Wilber, the greatest contemporary philosopher. He is also specialised in auditing leadership values, following the preparation within the Barrett Academy For The Advancement Of Human Values.
In addition to these studies, he has experimented with a lot of methodologies for changing and developing human creative potential in order to have direct access to its understanding and human psychology.
At the same time and continuing to offer training and coaching services, he contributed to the development of the Romanian coaching market and education by translating three books in the field, launching a dedicated application and of several revolutionary services in their time.
The apotheosis of personal research in the field of creativity and leadership was represented by the writing and publication of the volume entitled The Leadership Spark: The New Integral Technique To Ignite Your Creative, Innovative, And Strategic Leadership.
In recent years, his work has focused almost exclusively on coaching for leaders of organizations and management teams and all his training has consisted of an accelerated development of professional coaching skills at the international level certified by ICF (International Coaching Federation).
His ambitions are related to the development of professional coaching skills and expanding the range of services to the international market.

What our Clients
say about us
It’s an innovative book for innovative leaders. From abstract concept to easy to use technique and tips, this book have a click effect for generation of ideas, increasing your leadership creativity.
The Leadership Spark represents one of the most valuable books on innovation and creativity for the business environment, due to its methodological approach and shared insights. From the perspective of a company that has at core innovation as a business model, I am glad to have found in George’s work a philosophy that I am building on also, as an entrepreneur. I am convinced it will inspire all those who want to generate meaningful actions for the society.
Creativity is the buzzword in business these days and The Leadership Spark throws sparks on how to get it in the business environment.
As a student of Integral Theory for over a dozen years, I find it gratifying to observe and participate in the application of Integral Theory across a wide and diverse field of disciplines. Integrally informed “Leadership” has been one area where several excellent books have now been published. I add George Bragadireanu’s book to this list. The author’s application of Integral Theory is curious, creative, and sound. Using the ant model and extrapolating to business seems quite a stretch at first blush, but he presents a well thought-out and persuasive case. Creativity and innovation can be ignited. This book can provide the spark. Highly recommended!

We are at the beginning of a beautiful collaboration and definitely a long lasting one. I warmly recommend George to anyone interested in personal and organizational development.
George has the notable ability to ask exactly the right questions in order to provoke deep self-reflection which ultimately will lead to positive change. I feel fortunate to have had George as my executive coach! I want to take a moment to thank you again for all your work with me!
