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!”
