Colleagues describe her as ""Barbara and I have known each other for over 18 years. First, when she was my client at Frito-Lay and I was at Wyatt helping her and her team communicate a new benefits program to be rolled out. Through the years I have stayed friends with Barbara and watched her career reach new heights and deservingly so. Barbara couples an exceptional talent for knowing her organization's goals and business needs and applying that knowledge into strategic, well-thought out and planned initiatives that serve her company well. Her tenure shows her dedication and commitment to her career and her employer. Barbara is always upbeat and positive and makes anyone feel at ease when in sometimes very high pressure meetings or engagements. She has a delightful, friendly teambuilding style that gives the credit to others over tooting her own horn. She is a leader with the competencies and confidence to create business results with ease. It is an honor and a pleasure to have worked with Barbara and today stay in touch and are still good friends."" and "I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with Barbara since we first met when she was at Frito-Lay. I was with Wyatt then and we worked with Frito-Lay communicating the first year implementation of flexible benefits in the 80's. Since then I have been honored to call Barbara my friend. This friendship grew through business relationships and functions from Wyatt to Hewitt to serving on national boards together. Barbara by far is one of the most intelligent, strategic-minded individuals I have been blessed to work with and know. She is so dedicated and professional it is no wonder she has achieved the recognition and success in her career and as a wife and a wonderful mom that she has. Anyone seeking to understand, work with, or get to know Barbara have the opportunity to meet someone genuine and creative. After all these years we still stay in touch and when we meet, its like no time as gone by. That's the type of consultant, friend, leadership anyone would hope they could have."
