Barbara is absolutely amazing in so many different ways. I thought I knew a lot about being an on-screen personality but she helped me tap into skills I didn’t even know I had and coached me in finessing the ones I already did. Her dedication to her research before and after our meetings was remarkable. I love Barbara and I’m so happy to have her on my team!

From the very start, even in our initial phone introduction, Barbara approached me in a way that is uniquely hers; a blend of smart, intuitive, gentle, and forward-thinking. Her approach is bespoke; it is also value-driven.  She has been both gentle and firm as well as highly skilled in sizing up my specific needs and working collaboratively with me on breaking some deeply embedded habits.  It has been a joyful experience.  Fun not fearful. I trustBarbara’s guidance unconditionally and I also refer my own clients to her, many of whom are senior executives. 

Come for the media training. Stay for the personal transformation.

I have an extraordinary coach, Barbara Abel, who has helped me double my income, get out of debt, and move my media career forward in major ways. Most importantly, she holds me accountable to believe in myself when I’m down.

Every once in a while you meet someone who is firing on more cylinders than the average bear. Barbara is one of those people. She’s upbeat, laser focused, and her wealth of knowledge and ability to make it available to everyone is exceptional. I hired her to work with our company’s marketing team where Barbara has been able to take a complex brand, distill it all down to the fundamental considerations, which she articulates with brevity and accuracy, and then asks the right questions that lead us to change and growth. Oh…and she’s funny!

I originally sought out Barbara's expertise to help me feel more confident on camera. What I got was a crash course in learning how to be myself and in turn, the floodgates of opportunity opened. Barbara taught me how to show up for my audience (and myself) so that I was able to get clear and confident on camera. Since working with Barbara, I have landed guest hosting opportunities on QVC, appeared in dozens of segments that highlighted my expertise, and launched my own show, which was just picked up by a major digital publisher. Working with Barbara helped me set the foundation of my brand and my voice, and gave me the determination I needed to show up on camera as MYSELF! I adore her!
