When I ask clients about the benefits of coaching, similar themes emerge: Clarity, Focus, Energy, Confidence, Fresh Ideas, Valuable Insight, Personal Attention, Growth and Results. I'm honored by their positive feedback and privileged to work with outstanding professionals. Here's what clients say:

"Coaching keeps me focused, targeted and on track. Barbara has broad experience nationally, across many firms and professionals. She brings lots of good ideas." "My firm has a lot of resources, but none of them deliver the unique value that Barbara provides. She's a tremendous sounding board and helps me work through distractions, so I can focus and be productive." "Coaching with Barbara is the best investment I make in my practice every year! Barbara is a master at communication and relationships skills. She helps me build a happy productive team and loyal clients."

What are 5 strengths you have as a coach?
  • Learner - I am committed to ongoing learning for the sake of mastery as a coaching professional. I also partner with my clients as learners to move from ignorance to competence, expanding the way they see, move and act to get the results they want.
  • Grounded - My earthy, nature-loving style provides value in aiding clients to become centered and slow down the frenetic pace of their lives. I am committed to being present so that they may also be conscious and present.
  • Maximizer - I am naturally inclined as coach to help clients play bigger, to stretch toward excellence and achieve results on their terms.
  • Lightness and humor - Gentle irreverence and a laugh now and then helps to lighten the load.
  • Compassion - I hold huge, compassionate heart�s space for clients to be authentic and explore who they can become.
