"Barb has a positive
energy that is contagious. She also has amazing insight and wit. After
attending her workshop I took away many positive ideas about how to
change my life which I have started to implement. I also learned how to
take charge of my life and not be a victim." --Rebecca, Former Hedge Fund Marketing Director, 47
"Barb's After Divorce workshop focused on turning my divorce into an
opportunity for change and growth. The blend of practical information
with attitude adjustment was refreshing. During the divorce process your
life is looked at as a legal, business, or kids' issue. But this
workshop centered on me, as an adult. I am still on the road to
rebuilding my life, and Barbara’s words come back to me frequently as I
tackle new issues." --Sarah, Corp. Attorney,
50
"Being very isolated, I had no idea
that my problems were really so similar to what other people were going
through. Thanks, Barbara for organizing such a well thought-out and
enlightening seminar."
--Kathy, Engineer, 48
