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.”

This workshop helped me understand what is relevant today in the personal and professional branding world. Barbara helped me take action and realize that I can grow and build my brand even as I share content. This was just what I needed to get moving!”
