About Barbara:
As a chemist, I’ve always seen people the way I see chemical reactions - predictable patterns that can be shifted with the right catalyst.

In my career, I wasn’t just solving problems in the lab or the chemical plant -I was breaking down barriers with diverse teams, simplifying complex challenges, and creating solutions that drove productivity and transformed performance. One day, the head of a division called me his “indispensable and trusted advisor” because my insights didn’t just fix problems - they empowered people to change their lives. That’s when I knew I’d found my true calling.

As your coach, I’ll help you cut through the noise, tackle what’s holding you back, and build a step-by-step plan (as simple as LEGOs) to crush your goals using Neuroscience.

I am a published Author, International Speaker
