Meet Barbara

If you've ever considered that there might someone out there who could make a big difference in your business' success... you could be right. I work with driven, caring, growth minded leaders. We focus on getting the right things done well. And we're very successful.

I've been working with C-level executives since 1998. I've helped CEOs and leaders at big companies like Hewlett Packard, Virgin Media, MetLife, JDSU/Lumentum, HireRight, FEI/Thermo Fischer, Flextronics/NextTracker and dozens of mid-market businesses. Together we clarify strategy, get the right people on your bus, help you decide what activities to own and what to delegate, improve company culture and communication. We get you working on the right stuff in the right way and the result is big leaps in revenue, productivity and profits.

I may not have seen it all, but I've seen a lot. My years of helping CEOs during acquisitions, spin-offs, system implementations, new product introduction, high growth periods and hard times means you're getting a ton of perspective and experience.

Over the years, many of my clients have become friends whose insights, advice and resources are generously shared within our CEO network. I'm always looking to align my resources for your success. And, I've got a treasure trove of best practices, frameworks, check lists, methods, processes and models ready to customize for your needs. 

As your coach, my focus is on you and your business. I'll be there to listen, clarify, strategize and provide actionable approaches to get your business and your life moving towards success. 

Let's put the spotlight on what works for you, fix what needs fixing and have some fun while we're at it.

Getting results isn't hard when you know what to do. I'll ask the big questions, give you my opinion and take a stand for your success.

Contact when ready. 

Very Best,

BARBARA
