Shamila got her first client ($1.5 million contract) for her new architectural firm as a result of her coaching with me, and she says, "Your miracle called, it was looking for belief. I believe in miracles and hence they dawn upon me. Barb is an example. Last year, I was searching and I didn’t know what I was looking for...The first time I met her one on one, I knew that I was there to stay. It’s very hard for me to describe myself but she asked all the key questions. As I opened up more, I realized that the same reassurances that I had received from other sources before, were far more compelling coming from her. I soon started respecting myself a little bit (on a trial basis). It has been many months since then and it has become my routine to meet her on our planned weekday...Knowing my personality, Barb has a way of asking the right questions about the hurdles I would face in my quest...It is hard to believe that I was so stuck in my career just a few months ago and I am climbing leaps and bounds every day now. Last week I negotiated a deal with someone with a ‘take it or leave it’ confidence. You guessed right, the deal went through on my terms." ~Shamila Zubairi, Principal, Ababiele Architecture

"Barb is an incredible listener and a powerful partner in thinking through difficult topics. She comes to the table with her authentic self which allows for really catalytic progress without feeling rushed. She is incisive but compassionate, and is not afraid to sit with pain and joy. She set me on an amazing trajectory after just meeting once!" and later... "[she will talk about] things that are weird and  touchy...and it's like she's ahead of me on a trail with a walky-talky telling me what's coming...her intuitive, inherent understanding of my past is the key because she 'gets it.' She she picked up on my codependence and called it out and didn't make me feel bad, she is able to call things out without making people feel badly about them." ~ Margaret, Entreprenuer

"Barb is a driven professional who is organized and motivating. She's an active listener who asked me plenty of questions to find out what my true love is (retail marketing!). She gave me hope, direction and confidence in my ability and helped me understand that what I have is of value. She has an infectious "can do" attitude and provided me with the connections I needed to get my business started. Most importantly, she helps me remember that my program comes first!" ~ Suzann Conklin, President of Retail Detail Marketing

Working with Barb helped me clear the clutter of my business. She helped provide clarity, structure and organization for my processes. ~ Andrea Wylan, Business Coaching by Andrea Wylan

She took away all my anxiety about revising my resume and flyer for my professional services firm. She sat down with me to ask me questions to put together a professional package. I’m so grateful. Barb is an organizational specialist, a professional team coordinator - HR extraordinaire! ~ Heidi Kent, Heidi Kent Professional Services

Barb excels at setting up policies and procedures for large scale projects; building connections with appropriate collaborators; increasing efficiency of processes. ~ Patricia Simon, Ph.D.
