With pleasure, I am attaching the participant evaluations of your recent workshop, "CARE Packages for Work & Home," that you conducted for our McGladrey & Pullen Human Resources Consulting Services Conference in Chicago on November 9, 1998. As you will see, the participants loved your workshop! We don't often have an instructor score a perfect "5" on our 1 to 5 rating scale. Please consider this a very rare compliment for an outstanding job!

Testimonials

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.
