Relationship Seminars and Speaking Engagements
Dynamic. Fun. Inspirational. That’s what people expect from a speaker.
With over 30 years of experience as a professional matchmaker, Barbara knows better than most the importance of a right fit between people. The same holds true in public speaking: you have to connect with the audience and address their specific needs.
Whether your organization is looking for a speaker to provide dating advice, tips on how to improve a marriage, healthy communication in relationships, or healing after a divorce, Barbara can tailor a program just for you. She can also offer a sampling of topics across the relationship spectrum (e.g., actively dating, not dating but want to be, in a relationship, or dealing with a breakup) for mixed audiences.
Here are some sample programs:
