PRIVATE COACHING WITH BARBARA
Barbara offers private coaching in her Show Business 101 studio in Los Angeles for public speaking skills, videos, creating niche pitches for networking events, radio/TV interviews or hosting your own show, etc. Everything is videotaped and she personally directs you as you hone your message and develop your performance skills.

Her clients usually have breakthroughs in just one session and walk away with skills they can use in their next meeting, presentation and media event.

BARBARA CAN SPEAK TO YOUR GROUP

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE BARBARA SPEAK TO YOUR GROUP
Barbara can do a performance coaching presentation and/or workshop for your group, including live video coaching on stage. For this she brings her camera, HD monitor and lighting setup and then brings up volunteers as she shows the “how to” of creating dynamic videos. The audience watches the person in front of the camera as well as what’s coming through on the monitor, so they all quickly learn performance techniques. She also explains the technical side of using webcams, flip cams and handycams to create your video campaign for websites and social media. For more info, click here.
