I feel very grateful to have attended and completed Barbara's program. I thank her for accepting me in her program and teaching me so much!

Masterpiece
Anna Karamanou
F. Chairman of the FEMM Committee, European Parliament
The book masterfully shows you how you can enrich your life and fulfill all your dreams, through Socratic self-knowledge, utilization of your potential, belief in values and the exercise of leadership according to Aristotelian ethics and logic. It is a book with clear writing, which combines scientific knowledge with the practice of modern coaching and can, at the same time, become a tool of internal personal revolution and social prosperity.
Great book
George Babiniotis
Professor at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Your book "Inner Emancipation" for leadership is great. You utilize a wide variety of factors - ideas, spiritual elements, mental qualities, etc. - that actually shape and characterize the leader. Frequent reference to Socrates adds another dimension to your book. Congratulations.

My main take outs were to persevere in trying to engage the team, even if right now their attention is elsewhere, and not to fret over things I cannot change.

The discipline of identifying which problems cannot be solved, Stoic-style, helped clarify my way forward.

The journey in the art of coaching with Barbara was fascinating, the awareness and her organization in a simple and understandable way were one of the greatest gifts of her program. Along with the initiation into Aristotelian virtues and ancient wisdom. Barbara is a Guide. Open, heartfelt, with wisdom and prudence, affectionate, enthusiastic, and incredibly intelligent emotionally, he takes you by the hand and wisely guides you to a very refined form of facilitation, which holistically transforms people. It teaches you that when you become a coach, you are constantly ready to expand, change and grow even in the sharpest turns of your life, transforming vulnerability into inspiration and strength. There is no return when you enter her universe, her VIP coaches confirm this dynamically.
