What people say about working with Barb.
Reflections from people Barb has coached, encouraged, and equipped through seasons of leadership, learning, and growth.
It is my absolute honor to recommend Barb as an exceptional coach. Barb possesses a rare gift: the ability to draw out your greatest potential and help you see possibilities in yourself that you didn't know existed. Her approach is intentional, deeply personalized, spiritually guided, and genuinely invested in your growth, not just professionally, but holistically. In nearly two years of working together through my MBA program at Bethel University, Barb has done something truly remarkable: she hasn't just coached me, she has transformed me. Through her guidance, I've gained clarity about my career path and professional identity that I never expected to find before even completing my MBA. Because of Barb, I can now walk into every opportunity with greater confidence, purpose, and direction. She doesn't just prepare you for your next role; she prepares you for your best life. If you are fortunate enough to work with Barb, embrace every moment. She is truly one of a kind.
Barb is an inspirational coach. She has guided me to understand my leadership potential. She has also provided me with concrete tools to develop my team. I have worked with Barb one-on-one, in small group leadership book study and in workshops. I recommend Barb to develop the leadership potential of an individual or a team.
Barb's energy is contagious. Her leadership skills are exceptional and provide a superb foundation for her work. Barb is always ready to learn and willing to step out of her comfort zone. I highly recommend her work and hope I will be able to work with her again.
As a 40-something manager heading back to get his MBA, Barb has helped me more clearly focus on the opportunities that lie ahead. Barb's savvy insight allowed her to quickly relate to my situation. That was followed by thoughtful ideas and strategies—both short and long term—that will be most helpful as I begin to navigate the second half of my career. Thanks Barb!
Barb was my career coach at Bethel University. I have found my coaching sessions with her to be very effective and useful. Her recommendations are practical and easy to implement. She is a fantastic leadership coach and mentor. I recommend her strongly to anyone who seeks her counsel.
I attended Barb's workshop “Using Emotional Intelligence.” I learned about areas holding me back in my career that I had not thought of before; it was eye-opening. These same areas may also be applied in my personal life. Barb was a great coach, spurring us on to honestly assess ourselves and look for opportunities for growth.
Barb is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and engaging. She draws on years of experience and deep knowledge to teach and coach others about effective leadership. She is thoughtful, articulate, and creative. I am fortunate to have her in my network. If you have the opportunity to engage with her, do it. You will not be disappointed.
Barb has her stuff together. If you want to dig deeper into what you think you're good at, she can assist to provide a new perspective. Always refreshing and helpful insights!
