Barb is an international Author, Consultant, and Trainer.  Her professional career started in Human Resources, culminating in the role of International Staffing Manager position at a Fortune 50 corporation.  In managing this organization’s first field and headquarters layoff Barb discovered that her experience could be employed to support the struggling “employee survivors” of organizational change and guide organization and personal transition journeys.

Barb has coached hundreds of displaced and derailed workers through employment and career changes. She has helped business leaders deal with the change consequences that always follow significant organization disruptions. Utilizing the change management best practices of Prosci, Conner and others, Barb has directed large-scale organization change initiatives to proactively mitigate the negative impacts of those significant transitions. And recognizing that "organizations don't change, people do" (Hiatt, Prosci) she has trained many associates to build personal resilience and change hardiness.

Most recently, Barb took her change expertise and expanded it into a broad organization development initiative that included competency framework development, leadership coaching, and the design/delivery of a global program to produce professional consultants empowered to address their clients’ needs in the changing workplace.

Barb and her partners are ready to lend their expertise to businesses and individuals seeking to build resilience, create high-trust relationships, and navigate change effectively.
