Barbara is a naturally relaxed and talented storyteller, equally compelling in a small room or a large group, she pulls you in to share her experience and feeling; and weaves her fascinating personal and family stories with her history as a successful black British woman constantly innovating in the world of business.

Barbara’s talks are always educational and inspiring.  She brings her lived experience to them, which allows people to explore various subjects in a safe, secure way through a very human lens. Barbara’s stories are so impactful that I’ve invited her to speak on several occasions – and every time, people come away inspired by her courage, her tenacity, and motivated to make a difference.

I had the pleasure of attending Barbara's talk on turning pain into purpose. I was extreemly moved by the authenticity of her presentation. I heard so much courage, love and faith, which has became Barbara's driving force in times of difficulty. The talk was an honest expression of Barbara's journey and was very inspiring for me to listen to as a young woman seeking her life path.
