Testimonials

“"I spent a course of several months with Barbara Marchand setting goals and writing down dreams I wished could come true. They seemed impossible at the time, when I was a struggling single mother. In our meetings I often found myself in tears as Barbara showed me new ways to think, see and manage my time and my choices. She helped me to "disappear beliefs" in myself that had held me back for too long. No matter how corny it sounds, spending time with this warm, insightful, loving woman gave me the courage and conviction to live my dreams. She is truly a miracle worker, and a dear friend of the heart forever.”

“We hired Barbara Marchand to define our mission statement and lead us to higher profitability. She interviewed our employees, both privately and individually, to find out what they thought of the company. She held several company meetings where she helped employees recognize their accomplishments, set goals for future achievement and defined the company’s mission statement, direction, and ultimately its future. Our profits and morale shot up immediately. We had a record first quarter!”
Si Lewis, Hidden Connection, Alameda, Ca
