In their words
I engaged with Barbara during my organization's participation in The Sustainability Circle. I saw her leadership and organizational skills, her ability to problem solve, and her expertise in sustainable best practices at the corporate level. Her network provided resources and opportunities that enabled the Padres to enhance our Green Initiative while reducing utility consumption and operational costs.

I had the pleasure of observing Barbara facilitate numerous all-day sessions with corporate executives on a range of sustainability topics. She presents with ease and inspires her audience to discuss and participate. An ultimate professional, she has great attention to detail, produces deliverable results, and creates a positive impact for her clients, partnering with them for a strong ROI and a high level of internal engagement. I highly recommend Barbara for the next level of leadership development.

Barbara was my personal coach in the REV Sustainability Circles program. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about sustainability, and an outstanding coach and mentor. She understood when I needed her support and when I needed a push to reach the next level. I continue to use Barbara as my go-to person for all things green, and she gladly shares her expertise and contacts. I highly recommend her as a coach, mentor, and guide.
