Barb's presentations are appreciated by Trade Show Managers!

As a Trade Show Manager I appreciate Barb’s ability to teach first time exhibitors the entire trade show exhibiting process from start to finish; how to exhibit "the right way" from the beginning!

Long time exhibitors can benefit from learning her strategic approaches for attracting target audiences; setting relevant show objectives & develop a strategy for achieving them. Excellent advise is given on how to train your booth staff how to properly engage, qualify & close with prospects, plus create an effective lead handling/follow up process.

II had the opportunity to hear Barb speak for the first time at a business luncheon.  Her presentation was professional, informative and interesting.  She had the audience participate which made it that much more exiting.  There was never a dull moment.  I would highly recommend Barb to speak at your next event!

You promised to inform and highlight the importance of "Building Relationships in Three Minutes or Less and How to Keep them", and you sure delivered.  You attracted one of the largest audiences for a Regina & District Chamber of Commerce B2B Expo breakfast seminar and the audience left with several tips on how to concentrate on their current and potential customers. 

I would highly recommend you to any organization wanting to create a high value event that would help build their clientele.

Carla Hill, Manager of Events, Regina & District Chamber of Commerce

Barb's presentations are extremely educational, interesting, and participatory.  She presents in terms that can be put into action immediately.  Personally, I had concerns about presenting my company's services to a specific group.  Barb provided me with excellent solutions to overcome my concerns and to comfortably make a high quality presentation.

As a dynamic and informative presenter at our annual conference, Growing Locally...Succeeding Globally, Barb's presentations to members (during the past 3 years), have imparted vital information including Customers and Competitors at Your Fingertips - the Power of Tradeshows, Networking -Making the Right Contacts and Networking with Attitude.  Our event evaluations clearly indicated the audiences' immense appreciation each year for the insightful and valuable knowledge conveyed in Barb's very own informative and exciting presentation style.   We, and our members - exceeding 400 companies, look forward to Barb's continued participation at our future annual conferences.

Barb's topic was on the importance of body language and physical presence.  The Administrators (Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada) present were delighted with the presentation.  The evaluations of Barb's session addressed her relaxed, open, warm and sincere speaking manner.  The participants felt they came away with some great tips and suggestions on how to not only improve their presence in meeting situations, but also some solid ideas on how to maintain their edge as women as they age.

I am in awe!  I just attended your presentation at the Heritage Inn and am completely amazed.  I work for the Kidney Foundation as the Program Coordinator...I am a teacher by degree and do not have formal business and marketing training.  What you said about trade shows makes so much sense even for a charity.  There is so much more to it than handing out pamphlets and saying:  "Hi, how are you?"

Once again, thank you for all you have taught me today.  I will use it to spread the message about kidney disease.

Barb delivered a dynamic, interactive, and thought-provoking seminar to a client, a conference for professional accountants.  Not only did she engage the group, she gave ideas and tools that the delegates could practically apply.  I was fortunate to sit in on her session;  I am still using the tools she provided.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Barb as a speaker for all sizes and types of groups.

Bruce Anderson, President, ASN Management Services, Regina, SK

"Barb is Brilliant!" Her highly effective workshops are both motivating and strategically helpful for all aspects of business or service venues.  Her ability to read and captivate the audience is uncanny.

Wayne Lee, President, Jemco Display, Vancouver, British Columbia

Barb put on a great seminar presentation called 'The Tradeshow Success' seminar for exhibitors of our Business Expo.  Every one of our exhibitors that I talked to said they gained a lot of knowledge they could use in the upcoming tradeshow.  I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and energy during the seminar!  She was very good at tailoring her presentation to our crowd.  I truly believe that exhibitors will make more sales from future tradeshows after attending this seminar.

The Tradeshow Success workshop was excellent!  The workshop really opens one's eyes to realizing that as a presenter at a career fair/symposium, one is at the forefront representing the whole First Nations University, therefore, one should absolutely know the goals and objectives of the program being presented.

Albertine Gosselin, Executive Assistant, First Nations University of Canada

I have had the privilege to hear Barb speak on a number of occasions.  Her presentations are always friendly, fun and relevant.  She is a true professional!

Barb has brought her skill, expertise and insight to help train our exhibit booth staff for the past two years.  With her information and style, our staff have met our expectations as well as the expectations of our visitors.

Brian Stethem, Manager, Government of Canada, Rural Exhibits Program, Ottawa, Ontario

I have worked with Barb to offer training courses in improving tradeshow and marketing skills with highly successful results.  Barb's communication skills are to be envied and instructors style is enthusiastic - resulting in high enthusiasm and course material retention for course attendees.

I would encourage anyone looking for a top level speaker who can engage audiences to increase attendee skills in many areas to utilize Barb's significant skills.
