Testimonials 

As the CEO of a rapidly expanding international media corporation, I was skeptical of my company’s decision to engage a professional coaching firm to enhance the performance of our executive staff. But after a series of the personal coaching sessions conducted by Barbara, I was greatly pleased to see excellent and practical results. I participated personally in the program and I have benefited immensely in both business and personal aspects.

I have been in business for a good many years and have participated in many typical “motivational” and training sessions – the effects of which usually dissipate rapidly after the hyped-up speaker leaves. But with Forward Motion Coaching I found a whole new, more effective approach…because coaching affects core behavior patterns instead of offering quick fixes, tactics or tricks. It has made a significant difference in my growth and success. I appreciate it and I highly recommend it to others.

As a business coach, Barbara naturally intuits depth of meaning and practices a willingness to listen for solutions and comprehension. I read over my notes made during the sessions and continue to learn. Forward Motion was truly a learning experience for both my business and person. A four-star gift.

Barbara creates a dynamic forum for setting and achieving goals, and our weekly sessions have enabled me to work through challenges more quickly than I would have been able to on my own. She has made a big difference in my efforts to build a business writing service from scratch.

Carl Hedberg, MBA

I found Barbara's empathy and discernment of concepts to be highly insightful, and her application of the Enneagram allowed me to look at areas of my life in a more objective and creative way. Professionally, I was able to assess what could be changed in order to better serve my clients' needs. I disconnected most of the 'hot buttons' that had held me back, and learned skills and tools to apply to move toward success and goals that had seemed impossible prior to coaching. Barbara is truly about "Forward Motion."

Nancy JB Anderson, Principal
Within Reach

My goal was to figure out if having my own business was the right decision for me, and if so, what would that business be. Barbara’s professionalism, past experience, intuition and coaching helped me set priorities, goals, and timelines which have resulted in a definitive idea and a business plan. I would highly recommend Barbara as a business coach.

RE:Solutions, Nutrition and Personal Training

My work with Barbara has been a life-saver, both professionally and personally. Her knowledge of what it takes to start-up and market a business really got me off on the right foot. Her insights and observations about how I see the world and how that affects my work were invaluable. I felt like she really understood me, where I was coming from, and where I wanted to go. I truly understand why she calls it "Forward Motion Coaching!"

BLISS Healing Arts

After every session I had at least two action items [to] help me understand what motivates me and what type of business would best fit my lifestyle. While it can be very unsettling to look at such a change in my life—leaving a very successful job for financial independence—I felt that each session led me closer and closer towards uncovering my new career. [The coaching] was more valuable than anything else I have done.
