Colleagues describe them as "I started interacting with Barbara a month after I was announced redundant by my ex employer. Rather obviously I was spiraling down the vortex of low esteem, high anxiety and literally fumbling to find my confidence back. I had always been in full time employment mode. Practically always appreciated by peers and seniors in the industry and had a reasonably good growth trajectory thus far. This jolt had blown me out of my socks! But then with least expectations I joined my first coaching session, then a second and then started to look forward to my next. Barbara played a critical role of pulling me out of a depression cycle, helped me in rediscovering my inner potential and in fact encouraged me to take a bold step of a Solopreneur. I had signed 2 significant Solopreneur assignments by the time we signed off our engagement, I am now up with the 3rd and many more are in the pipeline. And yes Barbara has a major contribution as my Career Coach by not only helping fight negativity with several embodiment exercises etc. but also steering me towards where I was initially afraid to tread despite knowing perhaps that's where my mojo lies! Extremely easy to talk to, sharp in wisdom and wit. 4.5 stars out of 5 if there was a rating to be given. .5 saved for perhaps more interactions in the future :). All the best Barbara, shine on you crazy diamond ..." and "Barbara is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a few sessions on my career transformation journey with Barbara. She was able to quickly assess my career goals, needs, and aspirations and made me reflect and introspect, which also provided me with a renewed sense of self-confidence and mental toughness. Barbara’s style is a blend of motivation and assertiveness which provided me with a sense of focus and helped me rediscover my long-term ambitions. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for coaching and wanting to advance their life goals!"
