Working with Lisa was an absolute pleasure and really had an impact on my perspective on a project I was working in. She just has a great way about her. She asks questions that really make you think and truly listens to your answers. We all get stuck in our heads now and then and Lisa helps you sort through your stuff!

I am pleased to promote that my colleague, Dr. Lisa Montgomery Barber, has been established as a professional life coach. Well, I cannot think of anyone better suited and qualified to the role. While part of my team, Lisa managed a group of super creative professionals, absolutely living the role of servant leader for her team. Lisa always seeks to understand the real needs of the people she is working with so she can help them to understand the obstacles that stand in their way, as well as help them to navigate their way around or through those obstacles. Lisa really has the secret sauce needed for this role since she possesses both true empathy and a clear and rational thought process. I would work with Lisa anytime and I recommend her services without reservation.

I was very fortunate to have Lisa Barber as my manager in a global learning solutions team at Sage. She was very nurturing in helping me develop my skills and grow as a Senior Instructional Designer, as she did with everyone on the team. She also is very keen on new ways of creating and delivering training eLearning and materials by pushing the boundaries of innovation. I learned so much from her and am grateful for her coaching and influence. What a great manager!

While at Sage, I was fortunate to be aligned with Lisa Barber as one of my leaders. In my experience, I am lucky to have worked with some good leaders; Lisa is exceptional. As a true servant leader, Lisa instinctively knows that by enabling her team, she is contributing to the success of the business. She worked directly with me to ensure that my performance goals were aligned with the company’s vision, as would be expected. She created the environment to develop our team as developers and innovators. Lisa’s innovative, supportive, focused leadership will have a career-lasting positive impact on me and how I participate in and contribute to future endeavors – business and personal.

Lisa is responsive and lends a fresh perspective for solutions that I may not have thought of. She is authentic and is patient where I never feel rushed. She is present. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone embracing a positive change in their lives. She really helped me through a very difficult, life-changing time as I was changing careers. I really didn’t know what direction to take and was very overwhelmed. Lisa helped me to pause and reflect on the best course for me. I now have started a new course in life. I’m sure I’ll return to Lisa when or if I reach more obstacles to overcome.
