Powerful, experienced, and astonishing! Barb Anne is packed with knowledge and yet comes across in a very “real” way. She is comfortable in front of any audience. We had her for a breakout session of 25 to a keynoted of 475 and she was outstanding in both! She is delightful to work with and would recommend her to anyone!

I heard Barb Anne do a webinar for one of my classes. To be honest, I tuned out because life was just heavy at that time in my life. When Barb Anne was talking, she said something that made me listen up. She talked about how we need to give ourselves “grace”. That life is a series of ups and downs and there plenty of people who will tell you who you should be or what they think you should be. However, be yourself. Own it. Embrace it. And give yourself grace – you are doing the best you can now you are in. Her talk got me thinking and I have been tuned into more of her educational series and it has changed my life. I know people say that kind of stuff, but for me it is true.
