During the past 15 years, Barbara has worked with thousands of leaders around the globe faced with critical turning points. She is dedicated to developing leaders in remaining focused on the business priorities, anticipating the future, and removing obstacles. Passionate about future trends in learning, she has been researching predictors of executive success for nearly two decades.
