What our clients say

A senior manager who was new to role had recently undergone a number of other big life style changes and was struggling with confidence and in finding their voice.

Both the business and the colleague have benefited from the outputs of this coaching relationship and the colleague has found their place in the team both as a Manager and as a member of an extended management team (in the UK and internationally)".

Working with Barbra has been transformative for both my personal growth and the strategic direction of the business.

Barbra provides a healthy challenge and a great environment to share and solve problems together. Her mentoring helped me clarify my career aspirations, identify my strengths, and align my professional goals with my values.

Barbra’s guidance through reflective exercises and practical tools has been invaluable, and her support during challenging times has made a real difference. She brings a unique blend of empathy, strategic insight, and accountability that has empowered me to take meaningful action for myself and the business.

I highly recommend Barbra to anyone seeking impactful coaching and business development support.

Barbra is an outstanding leadership coach who combines deep industry knowledge with a sharp intuition.

Her sessions are insightful, practical, and genuinely engaging, always lightened by her great sense of humour. With a knack for clarity and an impressive breadth of experience, she inspires growth and confidence in her clients. Barbra has been a joy to work with.

I would give Barbra 6 stars if I could. 

She is incredibly easy to talk to, there was no awkwardness at all.  She helped me find clarity with my future career path and provided valuable strategies to  have confidence in my current role.  If you are looking for a mentor who truly understands you and offers unique, personalised guidance, look no further.

Barbra is hugely knowledgeable about leadership and change, and in how to get the best out of people. And she is a fantastic facilitator - building safe spaces to explore challenging topics, and providing supportive challenge. She is a pleasure to work with, and has an adaptable and approachable style that really puts everyone around her at ease.

I have been fortunate to have received coaching on an individual basis from Barbra, and to have also worked with her on the planning of three separate leadership development days for The Brain Tumour Charity. Barbra’s work and her approach have left a real impact on our leadership community. We still regularly talk about the insights we gleaned from our time together, and have introduced change as a result of these insights. Thank you again Barbra - we really appreciate having worked with you and the difference it’s made.

Whilst working at Liverpool John Moores University, I had the pleasure of working with Barbra on a European project to coach and mentor local SME businesses looking to upskill their workforce by hiring talented graduates from LJMU.

Barbra helped us to develop the brief into a comprehensive action plan which delivered group session learning and one to one mentoring sessions.

I found Barbra to be very professional as a coach and mentor, highly skilled at developing the brief into a superb plan of action, and extremely confident in delivering the coaching to our businesses. I have no hesitation in endorsing and recommending Barbra as a coach.

I can whole-heartedly commend Barbra as a coach and as an equality advisor. I worked with Barbra for a number of years where she drove the equality agenda within a large, multi-national construction construction consultancy. Her approach is wonderful: warm and informative, and always able to make time to answer people's questions. Going further, she would think about how she could bring additional value to the organisation, groups and individuals by her bringing her network of networks together and thinking around problems and challenges to offer opportunities.

Perhaps Barbra's biggest asset is her coaching approach that she uses in all that she does. She is able to empower people towards change delicately. That said, she is able to gently "direct" where required, always having the end in mind!

Barbra coached five of our best performers on a one to one basis. Each coachee had different coaching goals and needs which Barbra assessed and worked with them to establish.

The coachees felt Barbra helped them to focus on longer term goals, and solidify their transactional day to day plans rather than "hoping for the best".

This focus has trickled into their day to day performance and independently, their line manager has also commented on the positive impact of coaching from Barbra. A personal investment for them as individuals which has added so much value to them both personally and professionally.
