About
Brooke James is an independent advisor, coach, and podcaster based in New York City. She previously worked in technology and management consulting in the financial services sector. She founded her own consulting agency to offer operations and social media advisory services to small businesses and local organizations in 2019. Just under a year into this new endeavor, she enrolled in the executive coaching program at New York University to better serve her clients.
In addition to her work with growing businesses, Brooke is passionate about arts and public programming in New York. She serves on the Steering Committee of Lincoln Center Young Patrons as Co-Chair of the Development Committee and is currently an active member of the MoMA Junior Associates and the Jewish Museum Young Patrons Leadership Circle.
As one of the many people that has been affected by cancer, Brooke is actively involved in fundraising for the advancement of cancer research and treatment for rare cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering. In 2019 she personally raised over $12,000. After losing her father, she could not find any resources that she could relate to and realized that most people don’t know how to talk to the bereaved. Hence, The Grief Coach was born.
The mission of the podcast is two-fold: expose people to different grief experiences in the hopes this helps listeners to become more empathetic, and to provide practical advice as it relates to end-of-life.
In her spare time, Brooke likes to spend time with friends and family, try out new restaurants, host dinner parties, travel, go to the theater and museums, and is an avid reader.
