Testimonials
“I have worked with Barbara for over 10 years and admire how quickly she takes briefs and how she then assumes the required role with ease. Barbara has credibility with even the most senior executives and is a pleasure to work with.”
“What I value about Barbara is a combination of winning factors: firstly I find her listening skills are phenomenal – she really wants to understand the brief and she’s perceptive in identifying complexities and clarifying ambiguity; secondly, she’s a lovely person with real warmth, empathy and a generous desire to support others’ success and development; and lastly as a corporate actor she’s so versatile and a joy in front of my clients.”
