- Inspiration - Out of the Ashes
Barbara’s personal and inspiring
story: the oldest of three siblings, to sole survivor of her
family, including her brother’s suicide in 1999. The loss of
her capacities from a slip and fall on black ice in 1990
resulting in a traumatic brain injury to a resounding
mainstream living comeback. Her mantra of “living in the
moment” combined with courage, conviction, and faith give
audiences permission to explore their own milestones and
breakthrough’s in life’s journey. Barbara’s warmth,
authenticity and humor leave audiences with a sense of
personal empowerment and a plan of action!
- When Life Changes – Change Your Life
Change is an everyday reality. Economy woes, huge layoffs, mergers,
tsunamis and hurricanes are affecting our everyday lives. We
are expected to do more in less time with fewer resources.
Based on Barbara’s book Thinking Out of
the Box - Strategies for Handling Change,
audiences learn how to maneuver through limiting attitudes and
behaviors. Participants learn tools and coping mechanisms for
dealing with the occurrences of change in daily life and
life-altering times.
