Barbara R.

Barbara inspires audiences with her passionate and down-to-earth presentation style. She is an inner wellness expert who specialises in teaching employees a variety of self-mastery techniques to reduce stress, prevent illness, cope with increasing demands in the workplace, and enhance productivity.

With 20 years of high-level corporate sales experience, Barbara successfully combines her strong business background in the electronic medical publishing industry with inner wellness programmes for an interesting and unique offering that can be customised for your audience.

Working on one's inner health and well-being is just as important as focusing on one's physical fitness. If a person is feeling stress, fear, depression, or off balance, then performance will decrease, absenteeism and sick leave will increase, and the workplace will become a place of conflict instead of a place of harmony and success.

Barbara, who is American, has been living in the Netherlands for 20 years. She came to the Netherlands alone, to open a European Headquarters for her American company. She was named "Salesperson of the Year" on numerous occasions by her Fortune 500 organisation.

After many years as a successful high-level Corporate Sales Manager selling drug information products to European multinational companies like Janssen Pharmaceutica, Organon, Hoffman La Roche, and Sanofi, she suffered a severe burnout. This forced Barbara to re-examine her life, and she chose to leave the corporate world to start her own wellness consultancy firm. She is a certified life and career coach from the Coach Training Alliance in the US and an Ordained Minister from the Pathways of Light Spiritual College.

She teaches meditation to individuals and organisations through her popular workshop, 'Down to Earth Meditation for Busy People' and is a member of the Spiritual Directors International organisation. Barbara is also a listed professional speaker in the prestigious Speakers Academy of the Netherlands.

Attention to inner wellness is essential to the success of people in their jobs and for the organisation as a whole. When employees are feeling healthy and balanced, the workplace environment is in harmony, and more is accomplished for the greater good of the organisation. Barbara effectively communicates this inspirational message through her speeches and presentations and inspires audiences through her passion to promote inner wellness.
