What People Say About Barb's Speaking

"Barbara, I wanted to thank you and let you know what a good job you did yesterday! That was awesome and your sharing about your 2 year wait with American Express really encouraged me not to quit on a proposal I have been working on since January. Thanks a lot!" --Frida A. Owinga, Excellent Image, Inc.

"Barbara, it was a pleasure taking part in the seminar today.  You, along with your co-presenters were very informative and most of all motivating.  Thank you for all the great tips. After the seminar, I stopped in Atlantic Station and walked past a boutique I had not seen before.  I decided to go in and pitch SmartyPants.  I had one sample left after handing them all out today and the buyer/manager was so interested, I walked out with an order in hand!  This is the first time that has happened." --Catherine Delaney-Shaub, SmartyPants

"Barb, I want to say again what an impactful and informative presentation you gave yesterday at the SCORE event. I was impressed and now understand your love for public speaking – you are natural, confident, and very engaging in that role. Fabulous job." --Bernadette Boas, The Boas Group

"My office manager is out this week so it’s been hectic, but I didn’t want the week to end without thanking you again for your presentation at Monday’s SCORE seminar and for taking time to talk with me afterwards. You made the day worthwhile." -- Jim Davis, Sound On-Site, Inc.
