It was a pleasure meeting you – we’re so glad you were able to make it out to Portland to speak with our group.  They absolutely LOVED you (not surprising!)  The evaluation form feedback was fantastic – for your keynote, 4.78 (out of 5) and the breakout rated a 4.86 (also out of 5). Awesome job!

I am delighted to provide you with my endorsement. The training seminar you conducted for our department staff on Customer Relationships and Personal Job Satisfaction was prepared and presented in a professionally superior manner. You successfully communicated with a diverse group and the feedback has been positive. Also, I have been reading some of your books and find them very beneficial. I can wholeheartedly recommend you to other business leaders who are seeking professional and personal development. Your message and level of sincere caring are your strongest assets. I am pleased to know you and count you among my friends.

I can not thank you enough for the awesome presentation you gave to the Human Resource Management Association of Southwest Florida at our March meeting. Never before have we had such a vibrant, moving and motivational speaker. You set a record for the most attendees at one of our meetings. Everyone continues to rave about your emotional, yet educational presentation. Our members are looking forward to seeing you again at the SHRM conference in New Orleans this June. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you again.

Bonnie Etheridge

Each year our goal is to develop programming to help our attendees tackle tough issues challenging the industry, as well as to provide inspiration for new ideas and future growth. Your involvement helped us attain that goal. Your willingness to share your expertise and experience is genuinely appreciated.

The feedback we received from attendees about your session was extremely positive--you were one of the highest-rated speakers at the conference and received rave reviews. Here's just a smattering of what some of our attendees said:


-Barbara Glanz was excellent. Great energy in the room. Kickoff set the tone and helped connect people. The materials she presented were very useful.

-I really enjoyed Barbara. She is very passionate about what she does and it comes through in her presentation.

-Barbara hit a homerun.

-Fantastic, set the tone for the conference.

-Barbara's presence on stage and her vulnerability was powerful. I connected with her. She had my attention from the first minute to the last!

-Fabulous! Awesome!

-Barbara was excellent! She exceed expectations.

-Great opening. Barbara got the enthusiasm going and delivered the message that making people feel important costs little and gives tremendous gain to the organization (and us as individuals).

It was truly a pleasure to work with you - your positive spirit was "catching" and infused the conference with good feelings from the start.

Barbara is one of the best speakers we have ever worked with, and would highly recommend her for any size group. She takes the time to get to know her target audience and any difficulties they may be experiencing, crafting her message accordingly. Listening to Barbara is so much more than sitting at a table and just listening to another speaker. She encourages active participation among her audience and invokes emotions during her presentation that leave a lasting impression. "Spreading Contagious Enthusiasm" is certainly a fitting slogan for her. Barbara leaves her audiences energized and feeling good about themselves knowing that they can make a significant difference.

Barbara Glanz is just what the healthcare industry needs right now to see it through the many changes it's facing--she delivers a healthy dose of optimism and positive energy. Barbara helps others connect the human side of interactions with the business side.  She is an engaging speaker on many topics such as motivation and retention of employees.  She speaks on a variety of topics important to the healthcare workforce such as “Care Packages for the Workplace,” and we all know that when healthcare employees are truly cared for by their organizations, they are more able to care wholeheartedly for their patients.

Patricia Rager, RN

Barbara was exactly what we had hoped for. She was motivating and inspirational.  She really got to the heart of the importance of motivating and retaining employees.  We have implemented many of her suggestions!

Thanks again for being part of our program...you truly set the stage for the entire conference, and left a memorable and lasting impression among our conference attendees.  I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again.

Dear Barbara:
Just a quick note of thanks for the delightful talk you gave to our SHRMA
group last week. I thought I was the only one with tears in my eyes until I
looked around to see almost everyone had tears in their eyes also. Your
talk was heartwarming and innovative. I want you to know that I tried the
Crunch candy bar thing today and everyone thought it was great.
Thanks again. You are a great inspiration.

Manager of Human Resources

Barbara Glanz is one of the most energetic, enthusiastic and innovative speakers I have ever heard. Her creative insights and winsome witness will lift anyone who hears her.

What an incredible joy to meet you in person and listen to your message of hope and empowerment. My email file was overflowing on Thursday with so many beautiful messages of thanks. You really touched our hearts and gave us so much to think about. For me, the message, the question, "Are you going to live your life with faith or fear?" really hit home. I know my darkest moments come when I give myself over to fear-instead of believing in faith that God won't ever give me more that I can handle. We definitely want you to come back. . . You are such an inspiration--you have touched our hearts and we will never be the same.

You are a remarkable woman with so much to share. I can honestly say that in my 18 years of being with Domino's and going to meetings, you are one of the very few speakers that I can even recall (along with dear Dave Thomas) that had a powerful message that impacted my business. Since then, we worked to make things fun for our management team with regular outings, luncheons, sports activities and various game and movie tickets, etc. Just wanted to let you know that what you are doing is valuable and really does make a difference.

Wow! What a week, what a conference, and what a great way to open it! The results are in and you were the highest rated event of our second annual Ohio Award for Excellence "Quest for Success" conference. You even beat out the Governor in the ratings! You were able to deliver a message of hope and spirit to our group when it was needed the most.

Steve Wroten and I hesitated for just a few hours that Tuesday to determine if we should continue with our conference in light of the tragedy that so greatly impacted our nation. We then became determined more than ever to go forward and not let terrorists defeat us in our pursuit of quality and excellence. Each person who came made a brave decision to attend. They could have stayed home and for good reason. To see so many people attend was heartwarming. Your quick modification of the keynote address to consider the tragic events started us off just right with encouragement and ideas for regenerating others and ourselves during this sad time.

Thomas F. Casperson
Executive Director
Ohio Award for Excellence

We have had many retreats, and a variety of "experts" come speak to us. You are by far the BEST, most appreciated, and a person who made everyone present feel valued. Our only regret was that you were only able to be with us one day.
Your follow-up notes, gift of the crystal care package, etc., show that you don't just talk about how to make people feel valued; you do it. Thanks for your involvement in the minitries of CRISTA. I will sing your praises everywhere I go.

On behalf of the Washington Public Employers Labor Relations Association, I'd like to thank you for delivering an excellent keynote at our fall conference in Ocean Shores. What a positive impact you made with your presentation! It was the perfect blend of practicality and inspiration for human resource managers and set just the right tome for the sessions to follow. I received nothing but outstanding comments from the conference participants.

I've been a meeting planner for over 20 years and recogniace your talent in getting a message across to your audience. I would heartily recommend you to others.

Well, we are all back in the office and everyone is talking about out off-site and the wonderful speaker we had! This is the third year for our three Travel Centers to do an off-site, and this is the one my staff is raving about! You are an inspiration to all of us. I know that my staff walked away from your session with many thoughts and ideas about how to work better with each other and with our clients. We will be sure that we keep giving each other "deposits."

I have attended many seminars, motivational and team building sessions in my 23 year career. Yours was certainly the one that I will remember the most.

Dee da Costa
Senior Director
ADP Travel Services

Without question, you are an individual who has been blessed with the wonderful gift of being an inspiration to others through your words and through your actions. You have indeed regenerated our spirits and provided for us a road map toward more fulfilled lives at work and at home.

Yesterday, you interacted with 275 individuals whose backgrounds varied as much as one could imagine. Yet based on the significant amount of feedback that I have received already, so many of this group felt as if you were communicating directly with them and were truly touched by the message you brought to the session. The standing ovation you received was heartfelt and a genuine reflection of what transpired.

Harry E. (Buster) Need, Jr.

Barbara's outstanding speaking skills allow her to bring us all back to the "human" side of business. She did not talk about theories and numbers, but rather the simple things we can do to bring fun back to our work. One of the attendees at our seminar words within our local community college. After the seminar, he told me that if Barbara did a presentation to all of the teachers at his organization, they would never have to worry about recruiting students again! He left the seminar, as did I, with incredible confidence that doing just some of the things that Barbara recommends will make all of us better leaders in our organizations, which, in turn, will make our employees (and students) want to be part of our team.

Barbara's personal warmth and ability to share her enthusiasm are true gifts and she is definitely the best speaker I have ever heard.

A couple of weeks have passed since you delivered your motivational talk in Cancun. I want to take one last opportunity to thank you again for the outstanding job you did in making those two hours the best two we had spent in quite some time. With the news of the merger being announced only days before, it truly seemed to be the message everyone needed to hear to really lift their spirits.
Barbara, as they say, "You put the icing on the cake." You are truly inspiring, and we are glad you shared some of your inspiration with us.
