Testimonials
Having heard
presenters, motivational speakers and consultants at conferences and
workshops over the years, I find I sometimes walk away without much
memory of the message. Not so with Barbara. She is the message. She
walks her talk. Reflecting her company's name, she is crystal clear
about her intention to inspire growth and bring lasting value to
listeners.

Barbara captivated the audience at our Leadership meeting in June of
2004. Since then, 4 of the 5 women she worked with one-on-one during
consultations later that day were promoted to Sales Director. We
continue to be impressed and inspired. If you want to reach a higher
level and have balance in every aspect of your life, then you must
hear what she has to say. Barbara can size up your strengths, help you
focus your time and energy and quickly launch you to achieve whatever
goals you set. I'm now working with her so I can build my national
sales team. Business is about relationships, with self, with staff,
with prospects, with the world. With Barbara's insight, you can build
any relationship you desire!

Finding and Manifesting a New Direction for
Your Department, Your Staff, Yourself
You say you want
to make positive changes in your business, but you're not sure how
to go about it. Are you tired of putting out fires? You're not
alone! For many people, creating a vision for a successful company
is difficult and often accompanied by self-doubt, conflicting
emotions and confusion.
This seminar gives
participants a foundation for creating a vision and staying
focused. Through several processes, both active and introspective,
participants experience the power of vision and what it would be
like to steer their businesses with a clear sense of purpose. You
will learn how to access your emotional intelligence; remove
obstacles holding you back; and gain practical knowledge you can
apply immediately to create the success you want and deserve.
Work-Life-Balance:
Where Are You or Your Employees on that Continuum?
On
a scale of 1 to 10, how important is balance in your life?
We live in
constant motion every day. From the time we rise, we are already
working. We shower, brush teeth, perhaps brush the teeth of little
ones, dress, eat, and travel to work. All of these actions are part
of a routine. While they may make us feel better, they are the "to
do's" rather than the "to be' s." You are looking for balance in
your life, but you're not sure how to find it. For many, the desire
to have work/life balance stirs up anxiety and confusion.
And, what about
your employees? How balanced are they? Studies indicate the
employee who experiences balance and contentment is five times more
productive than the employee in constant distress.
This seminar
offers participants a balanced action plan based on beingness in
which they learn to:
- Set
priorities and stop putting out fires
- Define
values and use them to achieve work/life balance
- Use
emotional intelligence to remove obstacles standing in the way
- Teach
employees how to reach more balance

Learn How to De-clutter, Organize and Maintain Your Environment
We're taught that
the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. And,
when it comes to being successful in your personal life and
professional life, being organized shortens the distance between you
and success. Being organized saves time, money, prevents
frustration and provides you with the inclination and energy to
reach goals you set-at work, at home, in the study carrel-anywhere!
Look around you.
Is there clutter clogging your desktop and no time available to deal
with it? Are your shelves stacked with books and files you haven't
looked at in years or maybe ever? Have items you can't bear to part
with, but hang on to them because you believe you'll use them
someday? Is your closet, file cabinet, garage, basement, attic, car
or tool shed jammed full?
No matter what
your level of disorganization or your particular style of working,
Barbara Schwarck can teach you how to get your company, your
department, your office, your home or any other setting set up with
systems that work and can be easily maintained.
In
this presentation, you will learn to:
-
Find your own unique organizing style
-
Discover tools to enhance those styles
-
Find the secret to prioritizing
-
Take control of your time and life
-
Get unstuck and get organized
-
Simplify your life with systems that
work
-
Learn how to maintain your environment
-
Positively affect your business’s

Coaching
Skills for Leaders and Professionals
Having trouble with
employees, colleagues or clients? Want to become a more powerful
leader? These are common challenges and inevitable when you work with
people. You might want to try an uncommon approach by learning the
skills of coaching.
Coaching is a
twenty-year-old profession. It's intended to assist individuals and
companies in reaching their potential. Coaching will assist you when
dealing with the everyday challenges present when working with people.
Without entering
into a formal coaching relationship, you can bridge the gap between
where a person is and where they want to be by applying three basic
skills in relation to that person's specific goals and objectives.
They are:
-
the three levels
of listening
-
acknowledging/championing
-
appreciative
inquiry
Find out why there's
such a buzz about coaching these days and learn how to become a
coach. Impress your co-workers and clients with your new listening
skills and tools that you can use to enable them to soar.
How to Get Along with Difficult People (Including Yourself)?
Everyone encounters
difficult people, but not everyone understands how to deal with them.
Whether at work or at home, you've likely had the experience of
someone who seemed intent upon making you miserable.
This workshop will
give you seventeen tips on how to deal with difficult people
(including you). You will learn to:
- Be more
objective
- Not take
things as personally
- Communicate
clearly with specific goals and objective
- Find out what
is really going on
- Take
responsibility for your actions
- Get
appropriate support
You'll find out
just how easy it can be to get along with difficult people. What
better skill can you have in an increasingly fast-paced, stressful
world?
Feeling Stuck?
Are Your Emotions Interfering with Your Goals?
Have you ever wanted
to accomplish something and no matter how much you tried, you just
couldn't make it happen? Perhaps you have had clients who were
incredibly stuck. You helped them to set small goals, change
perspective, looked deep into their psyche and still no movement
occurred.
Emotions are as much
a part of being human as breathing. With breathing, every inhalation
is followed by exhalation. A flow must be maintained. The better the
flow, the better the health and well-being of the individual. The same
is true of our emotions. They should flow like the tears and laughter
of a young child. The problem is that sometimes our emotions do not
flow, but become stuck in our bodies. When this happens, we may
experience pain, confusion, paralysis - dysfunction. Chronic patterns
of negative emotion can be programmed into our bodies. Fortunately,
they can also be programmed out. This is what Neuro Emotional
Technique (N.E.T.), developed by Dr. Scott Walker, proposes to do and
it is accomplished through simple muscle response testing and a
breathing technique.
Learn how Neuro
Emotional Technique can set you free so you, too, can accomplish your
goals, dreams and visions.
