What clients are saying...

Barri has a unique and powerful skillset and she excels in all these areas - part project management, part learning and development specialist, fully-skilled Strategist and even Instructional design and change management expertise. Above all else, Barri is a confident leader who can gather needs from any level of the business, create relevant and contextual solutions for those needs, execute and make it happen, and then measure impact and ROI. Barri's ability to clearly and concisely communicate to executives and stakeholders is exceedingly impressive - she not only can get them to understand the "why" and the "what," she has that special ability to get them excited about it to the point that they want to invest their own budget and time.

Barri skillfully communicates the business value of our learning initiatives to stakeholders. Just as skillfully, she has become knowledgeable in the instructional design frameworks in order to better integrate these within the project management processes. As an instructional designer, I have truly appreciated Barri’s efforts to study and understand adult learning theories, instructional strategies, and development tools. Her strong grasp of these principles has added to the integrity of the learning project. Unequivocally, Barri brings her wide variety of talents to each project and is an invaluable asset to our team.
