Barb is an international Author, Consultant, and Trainer.  Her corporate career started in Recruiting & Employment, 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. 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.

These same change disruptions led Barb into the field of outplacement and career coaching as she worked with hundreds of displaced and derailed workers.  Her experience in the employment market and in dealing with the emotional journey of job change has been invaluable to many as they navigate their career changes.

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.
