"Barry has a strong, gentle, and calming presence. He immediately disarms the room and creates a safe space for vulnerability to thrive. He knows when to listen, and when to speak. I immediately trusted Barry and knew that our time with him would be transformational. He is, hands down, my favorite facilitator I’ve worked with in 10+ years of being in forum."

"Thank you for another masterful retreat. I know I speak for the entire group in conveying how much we appreciate our profound relationship with you and how you challenge us and broaden our perspective. As one small example, I was dazzled by your “center halfback to center forward” analogy. Brilliant! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your wisdom."
