Introducing Barbara

"I am a Coach at the BBC, among other things, and want to use the remaining third of my life to do something transformational in the world, but I just don't know quite what, yet!" Barbara

Dear friends I'd like to introduce Barabara to you. I first met Barbara when we came to England in 1999, my goodness, over ten years ago. She offered me a job and we worked together for over 5 years. Those were the crazy years of the dot com boom and bust and we lived and worked through some interesting times. Barbara became the Managing Director of one of the largest IT training companies in the country with a huge staff compliment and an enormous turnover. Believe me it was a big job that required super human dedication and commitment as the company went through the turmoil of change. On top of that she had to balance her work with a much loved growing family.

She went on from there to senior positions with ITN and then the BBC where she found a new direction.One of the things I love about Barbara is she manages to do it all with intelligence, compassion and a great sense of humour and reality.

Barbara is not only a successful business woman though, she's a warm, fun and passionate woman. She stayed a friend through my "confused years" post divorce. I was lost, but she believed that I was still there inside my mixed up head and would re-emerge one day. She made me laugh and not take myself too seriously. No matter how daft my ideas sounded, she encouraged me with stories of dafter things she'd done. She has a storehouse of stories. Perhaps we can encourage her now to tell us more about her journey so far because it's really quite inspirational. Please take a couple of minutes and say hello to Barbara.

Please send me your pics and words so that I can introduce you to everyone else and if you would like to share a story, please do so here.

With much love xxxx
