Chautauqua Institution - Mental Aerobics:

Oasis - Mental Aerobics:

This class has been part of Oasis for six years. It is one of the most popular classes presented and there is always a waiting list.

Like Dark Chocolate - a little STRESS is good:

This class is a consciousness raising presentation to help people recognize and deal with the stress that is part of our everyday lives.

So - That's Why You Do What You Do:

This popular class works with the concepts of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator to help people understand how they are "wired" and what prompts them to behave as they do. It also helps to understand colleagues and relationships.

Leaving a Legacy:

While most people have a will and some a living will, this class helps people to discover what they want to be remembered for and how to go about telling friends and family what their values and wishes are.

Wanting What You Have:

This class helps participants explore their wants and needs - two very different concepts. It also provides one of the main secretes of happiness.

Wesley Theological Seminary:

Foundations of Discipleship is the course Barbara facilitates at the satellite of Wesley Theological Seminary near Buffalo, NY. This course helps students to explore the many and varied aspects of teaching God's Word in the classroom and the Sanctuary.

Any of these topics are available or Barbara will custom design a program for your organization. All teaching sessions are interactive and participatory. Check out the testimonials to see what people think of my work.
