Speaking Testimonials

Anne Flemming The first time I heard Barbara speak, I really understood what she was saying and how this type of interaction could make a difference for me. My normal way of listening would be “Who gets this conceptual stuff?” or “Wouldn’t that be nice for someone else?”` But the subject matter and the way it was delivered was very real and understandable. It resonated and I saw how this could impact my life. Clear Intentions delivers true value and benefits — in a very understandable and tangible way. What I thought would be just listening to another waste of time speech, turned into a pivotal moment in my life where I chose to stand up for myself and have someone be in my corner.
Anne Fleming, President, Women-Drivers, Pittsburgh, PA

“Having heard presenters, motivational speakers and consultants at conferences and workshops over the years, I find I sometimes walk away without much memory of the message. Not so with Barbara. She is the message. She walks her talk. Reflecting her company’s name, she is crystal clear about her intention to inspire growth and bring lasting value to listeners.”
Anne Davis, Pittsburgh, PA

Lana Kontos “Barbara captivated the audience at our Leadership meeting in June of 2004. Since then, 4 of the 5 women she worked with one-on-one during consultations later that day were promoted to Sales Director. We continue to be impressed and inspired. If you want to reach a higher level and have balance in every aspect of your life, then you must hear what she has to say. Barbara can size up your strengths, help you focus your time and energy, and quickly launch you to achieve whatever goals you set. I’m now working with her so I can build my national sales team. Business is about relationships, with self, staff, prospects, and the world. With Barbara’s insight, you can build any relationship you desire!”

I’ve been driven, even since childhood, to be the best. Initially successful in a competitive corporate environment and then launching a consulting business, it never occurred to me that I needed a coach.

After one session with Barbara, I realized how much faster I would achieve my goals if I enlisted her as my coach. We targeted a specific block in me, and then Barbara used a combination of NET and coaching. Within days, I had evidence that the block no longer existed. Every area of my life is improved as a result of working with Barbara.
Jonna L. Martin, Director of Membership and Marketing, Rivers Club

Kathy Grubb “I’m impressed with how quickly and easily fears, concerns and emotional blocks are released using the NET technique with Barbara. When she helps me clear emotionally-charged issues, I immediately feel neutral about the situation and the emotions don’t resurface. The beauty of NET is you can address an issue in one session and realize peace right away. I let go of beliefs and expectations, which allows the flow of the universe to work in my life. And, the flow produces rewards greater than any I could imagine.”
Kathy Grubb, Creative Consultant

For years, I bought self-help and psychology books in an effort to figure out what was holding me back personally and professionally. Sadness and depression were a constant part of my life. In a short period of time, working with Barbara and NET, I overcame obstacles I did not even know existed. I now experience self-confidence, self-knowledge, inner strength, and creativity such that I know there is nothing I truly want that I cannot achieve. The sadness and depression are gone. Barbara and NET helped to change my life quickly and powerfully.
Maureen Murray, Speaker, Trainer, Coach, Maureen Murray Associates

Barbara helped me quickly identify and remove barriers that held me back. Her blend of coach training and NET helped me cut to the chase. We co-created a plan for advancing to my goals. Clear Intentions is aptly named—you will achieve clarity when you work with Barbara. She’s big on accountability—you won’t get out of her office without committing to specific action steps. That’s what I call results!

Chris Posti Working with Barbara and benefiting from NET, I realized I needed to restructure my business. It has enabled me to focus on work I find more fulfilling and in line with my life’s purpose. I am happier, less stressed, and it appears I’ll be earning more income, too.

Sharron Walker I have known Barbara for more than ten years. I worked with her on relationships within my family, and my tendency to become overly-responsible within those relationships. Barbara’s work with me has helped bring healing on some issues held deeply in my consciousness. She creates a safe and centered environment, is brightly intuitive, heart-centered in her approach, and wonderfully articulate. Barbara is gifted in her creative and expansive perspective, offering a much broader view in areas of challenge than I am accustomed to seeing on my own.

Barbara was very helpful in providing guidance about the practical aspects of pursuing my career, designing an appealing resume, approaches to interviews, etc. She was effective in dealing with that level of concern, but the most significant aspect of my work with Barbara was that I was able to release inner blocks that had stood in my way all my life. Together, we called forth the Spirit necessary for me to move forward in my life.
Henry H. Hallett, MSW, Pittsburgh, PA

Barbara helped me identify patterns of behavior that were stopping me from fully enjoying my life and relationships. She gave me the tools to work through the issues and be more aware of what I need to be happy and fulfilled. Making life choices is much easier now.
Jane Stockhausen, Client Support Manager, YWCA

Working with Barbara helped me put the finishing touches on healing my long held anger and resentment toward my mother. Because of the significant impact my work with Barbara had, I am now the loving and caring daughter I always wanted to be. My mother and I are finally enjoying the kind of relationship that previously we only dreamed was possible. Thank you, Barbara!
Bonnie J. Hassan, LSW, RMT, Energy Healer

Barbara encouraged me, in a very comfortable way, to stretch and explore beyond the obvious. I loved it that when I was heading into a dead end, Barbara was able to help me find new perspectives, usually never before considered. What worked – that I didn’t have to explain my viewpoints, that she understood a lot about where I am. I liked having Barbara for a coach because of her background in spirituality and the fact she employs that in her coaching. Great listener. Wouldn’t let me settle for less – encouraged reaching beyond where I am.
Susan Wolcott, MS, Owner, Y2Knit, Fairfax, VA

Laura Fennimore Identifying goals, making plans to achieve them and addressing my important life issues that had lingered unresolved for years were among the top areas I worked on with Barbara. She is an active listener and like all coaches, whether in life, business or sports, she pushed me to reach farther than I thought possible.
Laura Fennimore, BN, MSN, Director Organizational Development,
Nursing Education & Research, UPMC Presbyterian

To say that meeting and working with Barbara has changed my life is an understatement. Not only is she a beautiful enlightened soul on her own, the knowledge and insight she has to heal is outstanding. Barbara has made one of the biggest and most profound differences in my life. Thank you Barbara…I appreciate all that you stand for!

Ellen Louise Barner Barbara, in four sessions, got my home office organized. Although I had continued to bring references and resources into the office, it hadn’t been organized in two years. I found the time spent with her to be productive and informative. She taught me how to let go of stuff that I don’t need. Her lessons on organizing were transferable to every room in the house. For someone who has spent her life collecting stuff, and not being organized, it was amazing to see the transformation in such a short period of time.
