Colleagues describe her as "REdirect Consulting is a small technology company that is really feeling growing pains. Doubling in size in the recent past, it has a tele-work culture with employees spread out throughout the United States and internationally. For the first time we decided to call everyone into New York City for a team summit. We approached Penelope Tobin of Barrier Breakers to help us work on our team’s soft skills. Without any history of physically standing around the coffee maker in the morning we had many questions such as “how do we work and communicate externally and internally? How do we deal with stress and deadlines? Where do we get satisfaction? Ms. Tobin took a very logical and data based approach. As she did not know our team she developed a questionnaire for all of us (including Principals) to fill out on an anonymous basis. She then analyzed these results and reported them out to management. With strengths and opportunities identified, we started learning about our team – and ourselves! At the Summit itself, Ms. Tobin delivered a very interesting presentation to the team sharing what she learned about them and again sharing where she thought we could improve and where we were excelling. The group found Ms Tobin engaging, interesting and interested. On the next day Ms.Tobin provided an excellent hands-on exercise that got our team to “roll up their sleeves” and addressed communication, negotiation and conflict resolution skills while providing real accretive ideas to our technical knowledge in a host of areas. Barrier Breakers provided deep insight and a practical and applicable real life approach for our need to work on soft skills development for our team of managers and consultants. Ms. Tobin was a great value-add to our Summit and the attendees left with much to think about as well as concrete experiences to assist them in their dealing with customers, vendors and interactions among themselves." and "Penelope is an amazing change agent. The Barriers Breakers Method which she has created to develop and evaluate soft skills has the potential to transform individuals and organsiations. Penelope combines an artists positive and inspirational approach to unlocking the potential in everyone with an understanding of the importance of a rigorous approach to monitoring and evaluation to determine success"
