“.......I was most impressed with Barbara’s speaking and presentation skills and I invited her to present at our nationwide “Good Morning Barbados” TV program, we were celebrating, “Women in Leadership. “ Barbara, was met with a very good response from our audience and she then was invited back to also present during one of our leading radio programs “Girl Talk” and she received great feedback from both our radio editors, presenters and audience. A series of regular appearances was then discussed with CBC.

From my some 20 years of senior management experience, having been CEO/VP Marketing of some 6 different companies in Barbados, UK and Sweden, Barbara possesses outstanding presentation and leadership skills and she should be very well suited for a marketing and/or management role.......”

“It was a pleasure listening to Barbara talk about her life story and how God guided her first to become a born again christian and then later helping her grow. She has a very unique style of speaking and she is so down to earth. She was really interesting to listen to from the serious things to the humorous! I think anyone of any age would be able to enjoy her testimony! It was so neat to hear how God restored her marriage! I believe many people would benefit from hearing her.

“Barbara spoke to four of our Outreach Groups in the Metro-East St. Louis Area in three days. Her energy and enthusiasm never waned as we traveled from one engagement to the next. She shares her life stories with unbelievable candor, and truly desires for other women to learn and be encouraged through sharing her many life experiences. Barbara touches hearts in a way unlike many other speakers. She is an amazing woman – an amazing mom – an amazing servant of our Lord!!”

"Barbara is a special and one-of-a-kind coach. She helped me break my old patterns of thinking that resulted in a more joyful life and she does so in the kindest, most heartfelt way. Her talent to really connect to people shows how much she really cares and, she does a wonderful job at motivating people. Best of all, her personal life experiences, her strength and wisdom make Barbara one of the most inspiring people I have ever met!"

“In my 40 years as an educator, social worker, non profit executive director. I have rarely met someone as energetic, talented, intelligent, and honest as Barbara Vernoski. As a Coach, Barbara is a client centered, nonjudgmental, loving and totally supportive and accepting of her her client's agenda. With Barbara in your corner as your personal coach, you will identify your true wants and desires, and she will then be your partner on the journey attaining them. I consider myself extremely lucky to have Barbara as my coach, and I know you will too.”

"I have worked with Barbara Vernoski for over 6 months. It is rare to find an individual that has the skill, compassion and enthusiasm that Barbara possesses. Through her coaching, Barbara was able to meet me where I was, partner with me to exceed my limits and reach my goals. Her strong sense of faith was critical for me as a Christian Coach to help me see God's movement in areas of my personal and professional life that I was unaware of. She is an incredible cheerleader, teammate, and most importantly- coach! The best way to truly appreciate the value of Barbara's coaching, is to partner with her yourself. It is truly a Blessing!"

“Barb has great knowledge. She loves to learn. Not just through the academic world (for that would just be knowledge) but also through embracing the lessons learned through the good, bad and ugly of life and using them for good. Nothing is wasted. That’s the application of knowledge. That’s wisdom. That’s Barb. But not everyone can apply life’s lessons. It can be difficult to see the life lesson when one is in the pain of the circumstance. That often requires a good “unravel-er”; someone who can weave their way through the tangles of the heart, the knots of half-truths, the dyslexic way we can view life and then skillfully navigate to the heart of the matter. That’s Barb.”

.... On one hand, Barb is a “what you see is what you get” kind of woman. She is exceedingly bright and witty, transparent, honest and sincere. But better still, she is “deep water” for her transparency and honesty is wrapped in a zeal to see us all live to our full potential. She loves to inspire, insightfully sees the weaknesses within and wisely knows how to help shape them into strengths. You can read in her biography all of her accomplishments. While she will not (and should not) discount them, she sees them for what they are, open doors that God has given her to vibrantly impact her world in a positive way. Knowledge abounds… but a woman who has wisdom is a treasure. Barb is a treasure.

“Alaska had the pleasure of Barbara’s skills as a speaker and a speaker’s trainer in her recent trip to our beautiful state. Barbara was high energy and was able to move through a somewhat fluid and demanding schedule with ease. She has the ability to draw a crowd into her life story in a positive way even when she shares difficult times and situations. Many lives were touched in a positive way as she spoke around the state.”

She is astute at unearthing client beliefs and values and employing them to create new paradigms, bringing about new practices and sustained results. All benefit: employer, employee, and your business. I have experienced Vernoski’s coaching first-hand. She is an inspiring coach who partners with you to bring out the best in yourself and, in so doing, benefiting others. She is an investment that will produce returns for years to come.”

“It has been my pleasure to work with Barbara Vernoski as a coach over the past five months. Barbara is a remarkable woman, yet our conversations are not focused on her experiences and opinions. She focuses the conversation on whatever is important to me and helps me create plans, uncover areas of opportunities and adjust the way I think about things. Barbara seems to see me in a way that makes me feel energized, positive about the future and deserving of the very best life has to offer. If you want a life-changing experience, find a way to spend time with a masterful coach, Barbara Vernoski!”

“This past January in Ocean City, NJ. I have been to many retreats. This year Barbara Vernoski was the speaker. She is one of the best speakers I have heard. Her own story of restoration and how God worked in her life was very touching. The theme for the weekend was about relationships, faith in God and ourselves, sharing our gifts, and unconditional love. I came away uplifted and ready to keep growing and grow others”.

“Our church sponsors a Ladies' Retreat Weekend and we were blessed to have Barbara as our speaker. Her energy, spontaneity, and sincerity were so contagious! As a former teacher and leadership trainer, I know the importance of keeping your audience involved and she was such an inspiration as her testimony touched each of us - young, old, married, single - it was like she knew each of us personally. It was such a great weekend filled with God's word along with "on your feet, hands-on" activities that helped us all to renew and restore our relationships with family and friends; and to draw closer to each other as a church family.”
