Barbie has been motivating and inspiring others to develop their leadership skills, unlock their personal power, and gain the self-confidence needed to reach their full potential for more than a decade. Barbie and I met during my tenure in local government. During that time we were part of the team that created the Economic Empowerment Program of which Barbie was responsible for providing self esteem development and employability skills to individuals in U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded public service programs. The program received a Best Practice Award from HUD and the participants gave Barbie high accolades. Additionally, Barbie provided team building training for my department. The training was creative, dynamic, and motivating and employee morale and collaboration improved after they attended. Many of the staff and I continued to discussion Barbie's techniques, with excitement, long after the workshop was over. From my experience, Barbie has a passion for empowering others and a sincere desire to help others achieve success. Her presentations were inspiring, edifying, enjoyable, and presented in a professional and practical manner. Her message of realizing your own self-worth, creating a vision of success, and personal empowerment is enlightening. I highly recommend Barbie's development opportunities to virtually any group.
