I unexpectedly lost my job, marriage, and health, and everything was a struggle. I lived in fear of rejection. I was afraid to pick up the phone, and I cancelled meetings because I was worried about saying the wrong thing. Without realizing it, I had let my world shrink and was overcome by anxiety. Then I worked with Barbara and learned that fear only exists in your mind, like a monster under the bed. She helped me realize I’m in control of my reaction to external events, and today my anxiety is gone. My worst moments don’t define me. I am more assertive, decisive, and results-driven than ever, my career is back on track, I am healthy, and there is a wonderful woman in my life. Thank you, Barbara!

“I had unsuccessfully worked with countless coaches through my career to try to overcome deeply seated issues I knew were keeping me from reaching my highest levels of achievement. I was a “hard case,” and nothing really worked. It was only after I began coaching with Barbara that I identified the true problems and then proceeded to wipe the floor with them! Honestly, I’m shocked that it worked. Her style is so gentle, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I can’t tell you how important that was to my progress. The results were stunning. Now, I’m pursuing a segment of business I have always suspected I would excel in. I already feel victorious. Best of all, I like myself better than I have for ages, and that is showing up in a positive way in all my relationships. I can’t thank Barbara enough!”
