career-oriented women who already know the English language but are afraid of speaking it in everyday and business conversations gain self-confidence, self-empowerment and the self-awareness needed to stand tall, open their mouths and let out the words that identify them as intelligent, caring, well-intentioned and knowledgeable humans.
As a Conversation Coach, she:
0 gives you a safe place to practice small talk, job interviewing and presentations
0 teaches “affirmations” and “I am statements” that prepare you psychologically to step away from fear of making a mistake or being judged to a future where you recognize and accept your Queen energy
0 demonstrates the Red Thread Ceremony that connects you to the wisdom and support of all Life so that you know, you feel that you are never alone which is the Lover’s energy

Dr. Barb does not use traditional worksheets or grammar lessons. She does encourage the use of a journal.
Why talk with Dr. Barb
For many years Dr. Barb has had online conversations with people living in many parts of the world. The people select the focus of the conversation. Almost always, the chosen subject is some aspect of their work life or career.
Information, guidance and support is given, but something else, something almost magical, also happens.
Via these conversations, people gained:
- deeper understandings of themselves
- knowing the actions they need to take to make their career dreams real
- comfort in knowing that their dreams can become true
Who Comes
Mostly women come. Women who have careers. Women who do not have a safe place to speak what’s in their hearts and minds.
Women who have intermediate and advanced English-language knowledge, but when it comes to speaking it, tremble, quiver and would do anything to not speak.
They come not to have decisions made for them, but to talk about what they might be overlooking or not even remotely aware of.
They mainly come for support because most women, by wanting a career, are breaking long established family and community traditions.
Even though, the wise person asks for help when making these decisions, in their family and community, help usually isn’t available, or if available, it’s too costly.
So. What if:
1. Instead of a mental health worker or counselor or psychologist and rehashing the past, the helper is a teacher or a conversationist like Dr. Barb?
2. Instead of a therapy session, it is a talking session that uses art and ceremony as well as language to make a visual and word picture of what is desired?
3. Instead of an intense meeting between therapist and client, it is an easy-going conversation between two people interested in making a different future.
What Is the Result
When the what if’s listed above happen, the resulting conversation causes:
1. Possibilities, solutions and feeling good shows up.
2. Feeling good releases energy, energy that can be used to create and build.
3. When people feel good about themselves, they can do anything they want.
4. This feeling good helps create mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial health.
They can use their many qualities, talents, gifts, and skills to do all the good they have in mind.
Everyone has plenty of these characteristics although often the person either doesn’t know or is afraid to admit that they are overflowing with talent.
Looking at the world, there are very few people who do not need help establishing, maintaining and expanding these four areas of beingness.
