“One of Barbara’s sons, via a young professionals organization I’m involved in, recommended me to her. During our first meeting, I told her about my life goals (career and personal) and the barriers that were preventing me from achieving them. Since we first met, she’s been very attentive and insightful. She is able to equip me with action steps that I can take to make my vision for life a reality. I admire her humble heart and her desire to serve others. While it has taken me a lot of time and perseverance, with Barbara’s help, I feel that I’m in a much better place than I was a year ago. I would definitely recommend connecting with her!”

“I reached out to Barbara at a time where a lot things in my life seemed bleak. From the first session, she carefully listened to me and helped me look at the aspects of my life and career from a more productive perspective.

Over the next following sessions, Barbara helped organize my thoughts and feelings into goals and actions. Her encouragement and coaching led to my success in more ways than one. I learned to give myself grace when I made a mistake and gain the confidence to set my sights higher when advancing my career. She also facilitated healthy communication between me and a family member and helped repair our broken relationship. With Barbara’s expertise, I learned to recognize and acknowledge my strengths instead of focusing on my weaknesses. I learned the importance of healthy boundaries and how to realign my inner thoughts when faced with an uncomfortable interaction. All the progress I made, she reminded me of how far I’ve come and how I shouldn’t take that for granted. I learned to give myself credit for my accomplishments and use that to propel myself in a better direction. My personal life, family life, and career all improved with her guiding hand and resources. Barbara’s coaching gave me the tools to make a difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for her guidance.”

I would recommend [Timbelo and their] consultative, healing style to anyone that wants to set their company and life on the right path.”

“Barbara had an enormous influence on me as our Chief Cultural Officer. She helped our organization become polished contributors to the culture of our clients. For example, I weekly use the lessons that she taught us on the importance and best practices of having "uncomfortable conversations" to work with my project teams to politely address impediments that we have in the team's relationships. Barbara is a pleasure to know and a delight to work with.”
