A current executive from a major corporation said, “In one hour I learned more from you than I did with the three day workshop on public speaking they made us attend at work.”
– S. Miller, Global Digital Brand Director, Nike Golf
Wow! You don’t know what you don’t know. Barbara has a lifetime of experience and knowledge on the subject and it was very obvious she is passionate about helping others achieve their goals. Her approach is what you would expect from a coach, challenging you not coddling you. Making you reach inside yourself to see if you really have what it takes to be great. Her content is so dense, in just a few hours with Barbara and you will have a month of practice material and a whole new outlook on how you approach public speaking. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great teacher & coach contact Barbara!”

What did you hope to gain from Barbara's Workshop?
"I hoped to find an alternative approach for my staff to get out of their heads, think on their feet, and grow as better public speakers so they can get our message across. I was attracted to her approach of using acting skills to improve speaking because it tackles the real barriers that block us from being effective speakers ...
...my staff came back really excited and wanted to do more. They really liked her style." read more
