About MLG Founder

The MiraLite Group (MLG) is a boutique human resources and management consulting practice, initially launched in 2007. MLG (with its Strategic Partners) provides consulting services and coaching in the areas of: leadership (with an emphasis on emerging leaders and the human dimensions of change and transformation), and diversity, equity & inclusion.

Barbara Murphy-Warrington is the founder of MLG. MiraLite's name and logo were inspired by Mira, a dwarf star, which is one of the brightest stars in the night sky. The varying strength of Mira's light reminds us of the importance of providing the right support at the right time to organizations and individuals in the process of their change and transformation.

Barbara has 25+ years of senior leadership experience working in and consulting with major global and domestic organizations. Her experience is in the areas of human resources, executive and leadership development, diversity, equity & inclusion, change management, and labor and employment law. She has deep experience in coaching an array of individuals --- boards, executive and C-Suite leaders, middle managers, as well as emerging and diverse leaders in multiple countries.

She held senior operating positions as a: global, national or regional head of Human Resources for nonprofits and an investment firm; and nonprofit resident council. In addition to leading and being a part of major organizational change initiatives, Barbara was a nonprofit CEO responsible for leading the organization in implementing a bold new vision and launching a successful capital campaign. The organization achieved major financial and operational goals, more than doubling its net assets. As a result, the organization received a 4-Star quality rating in 2014 and 2016---the highest rating given by Charity Navigator.

Barbara is a Certified Trainer for the HeartMath® Institute*, which is a leading authority on building resilience and optimizing personal effectiveness, especially in the context of change and transformation.

 “The poem, Cow Path’s of the Mind, by Sam Foss, along with Mahatma Ghandi’s quote, “Be the change you want to see in the world”, are my constant reminders not to be tied to what has always been done and to be willing to look beyond the familiar, especially when it no longer serves.”
