She encouraged everyone to reflect deeply on their core values and goals, empowering the team with practical strategies to enhance both their personal and professional lives. Barbara’s workshop left us energized and motivated, with a renewed focus on aligning our personal brands with our mission as a global team.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Barbara through a preferred vendor relationship. Yes, her company is truly a “preferred” vendor, because of her wealth of knowledge in developing and promoting women in business. Her passion shines through in everything she does, facilitating workshops, keynote speaking, event planning, and community engagement. She has a gift for teaching others how to blend their personal gifts with business needs. Corporate America needs women and women need Barbara. Everything she touches turns to gold!”

We had the pleasure of having Barbara Brooks as a keynote speaker for our inaugural company DEI Summit and she provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise when managing multigenerational teams. Her knowledge of the subject was clear, and her examples helped bring the topic to life. It was an informative experience that offered practical takeaways for those navigating generational dynamics in the workplace.”

Barbara is a dynamic and passionate leader, educator and speaker. Her class ‘Personal Branding Masterclass' was rich with content for the new and experienced entrepreneur and business owner. I have taken branding classes before and this class was jam packed with relevant and actionable content. In addition, she provides fantastic value for your money. It's truly a wise investment in yourself and your business!”

Barbara Brooks gave a presentation to blendWise, the over-40 Employee Resource Group at Blend Labs. The presentation was about building your personal brand and setting goals for continued professional development. It was fantastic. The information was clear and practical. And Barbara's teaching style was engaging and inspiring. I absolutely recommend Barbara's workshop for any ERG or DEI group, or any company that is looking to encourage their employees to recognize their personal equity and develop their career!”
