What others say
In 2017, I saw Barb in action as a facilitator at conference in Maryland where the topic was the Ebola crisis. She was able to energize a group of people - approx 70 , many who did not know each other -- which turned out great as we all contributed to the conversation.
More recently, I engaged Barb for a smaller meeting with a group of medical waste regulators from around the US. From the initial conversation to the actual event, a period of 4 months, Her enthusiasm, her inputs and organization for items for the meeting were incredible. She kept me on task !!! and she kept the group on task during our two day meeting.
Barb understands what needs to be the general structure of meetings so a group can achieve maximum ROI. Can't wait to use her talents again!

Barb is one of the nicest people I know and is consistently ready to offer her 'best self' to others for the benefit of the common good.
She can motivate groups and individuals, and encourage them to stretch their goals and achieve them.
