Career Change
"Barbara
was instrumental in helping me change fields and re-energizing
my career. After 10 years in food & beverage, I
was bored. Barbara went through my food-centric resume
line by line to make it more applicable to telecommunications,
and gave me ideas about how to network and where to
look for a new position. More importantly, her coaching
just gave me the confidence that other industries would
value my background & skills. I am extremely happy
in my new telecom position. My switch would not have
been possible without the efforts of B.G. Marketing!"

Executive Coaching
"As
an executive, it is difficult to truly get coaching
that's insightful and pertinent to your exact situation.
Somehow, Barbara always provides the necessary direction
and strategies that I need in my career to further my
responsibilities and increase my exposure in a very
competitive business. She's been very reliable in a
number of time-sensitive issues."

Transition Coaching
"Barbara
was instrumental in coaching me through a significant
career opportunity. First, she gave me background information
on the telecommunications industry. Then she worked
with me to prepare for the interview by suggesting key
questions and topics that would likely be discussed.
Finally, she guided me through compensation negotiations
by quantifying my current net value and advising on
the fair market value of my skill sets.
Barbara
would be an asset to any professional individual who
is seeking an opportunity in the telecommunications
industry. Her combination of knowledge, expertise and
contacts within the industry make her an invaluable
asset for the job-seeking process."

First Career Coaching
"Had
it not been for Barbara, I would still not be able to
go through my almost 3 hours of grueling interviews.
Barbara guided me with her patience, understanding,
knowledge and vast experience. She worked with me on
my resume and letter, my interviewing skills, my handshake,
my gait, and not only how to answer questions, but also
how to ask questions. I walked into the interviews with
great confidence and the rest is history
or should
I say the beginning."

Life Coaching & Career Changes
"I've
known Barbara as a consultant since 1997. In that space,
she has always been one of the best marketing consultants
around. However, Barbara has always been more than a
marketing professional to me. She's also been a wonderful
friend and has never hesitated in providing helpful
advice when needed someone to get me back on track.
Barbara was always there and never asked for anything
in exchange. When I heard that Barbara was extending
her business to include life coaching, I knew that when
the timing was right, I'd engage her to work with me
in this space.
In my first meeting with Barbara,
I knew I'd made the right decision in allowing her to
be my career and life coach. What I like about Barbara
in this role, is her ability to play many roles as my
coach and she's willing to hold me to the fire should
I stray from our co-created action plans.
I would strongly recommend Barbara for anyone looking for a coach that will get you to think about who you are related to the career you are looking for, or the problem you are facing. Barbara is not afraid to ask the tough questions and she is persisten in driving her clients to complete tasks and do the work. "
