Barbara is an extremely supportive coach. She is very intuitive about where I am and meets me there with grace and support. I tend to be very hard on myself, "drill sergeant-ing" myself into getting things done that I don't really want to do. Self-care often feels like an undeserved luxury. When my partner passed away, I found it difficult not to get "judgy" with myself about all the things I was not doing. Even though our coaching focus was my business website, Barbara was expert at meeting me where I was in each session and allowing me to process when needed -- always gently supporting me back to my goal while holding space for my self care. She masterfully helped me to process my grief and the impact it had on my business AND make progress WITHOUT judging myself or beating myself up. It feels like nothing short of a miracle for me.
Barbara is a gifted coach -- asking incredibly insightful questions, holding space, and doing all of the things that a good coach will do for you. Her superpower, however, is her presence and intuitive sense of what you need in each and every moment and unwaveringly holding your agenda as tightly or loosely as you need. She is masterful at bringing that agenda into the moment, sparking connections and insights, and supporting progress in your way, in your time. Brilliant. HIGHLY recommend Barbara!

Barbara offered a space for me to unpack what was on my mind and gain clarity on what I wanted to focus on in my business and why. She also helped me to face my doubts and fears and take meaningful action. I feel very optimistic going into the new year thanks to her coaching support. I went from feeling disheartened and stuck to feeling a clear, positive outlook, took meaningful action and have a clear plan.

Barbara's coaching style is Generative. The ease with which the questions came made it easy to go deeper to provide thoughtful responses in the coaching conversation. I would recommend Barbara as a coach. She helped me be curious about creating the Generative Sustainability Practice (GSP) to support climate change coaching.
