“I frequently attend networking functions where I am going to be introducing myself in front of a group.  Until it is my turn, I usually sit and nervously contemplate what I am going to say.  My palms are a little sweaty; my heart beats a little faster.  I never hear the introductions that are done before mine. 

All that changed last week when I arrived with my newly memorized elevator pitch from Barbara Lopez.  I knew what I was going to say in advance, so I was able to sit and relax while others introduced themselves.  I was actually able to listen attentively and enjoy the meeting.  It was a pleasure to talk to people individually and use Barbara’s system to answer the question, “What do you do?”.  My new answer was much more interesting and helped to stimulate the conversation.

Barbara was a joy to work with.  Her kind and patient demeanor creates an atmosphere where it is easy to learn.  I was very impressed with her professionalism.  When I arrived at her immaculate home office, she was warm and welcoming.  She put me at ease immediately.  She had done her research into my business, reviewed my website and was well prepared for our coaching system.

Her system is simple and effective and well worth the modest investment in time and money.

I enthusiastically recommend Barbara at Brightfarm Introductions!

I look forward to as my business grows and changes, Barbara can help me change my introduction as needed to keep it fresh and focused.

"Barbara, you are fabulous.  You have the unique ability to get people to relax and just breathe.  Which allows us to clear our minds and focus on what needs to be done.  People should see you before they attend networking functions!" 

-A.Michelle Blakeley, Simplicity Inc.

“Barbara is VERY special to me.  Her workshop helped me to overcome nervousness and to make my elevator pitch attractive and impressive. 

After the workshop, she was able to condense my original 90-second elevator pitch to a 30-second impressive pitch.  Also, she taught me to relax and be myself during the speech through private coaching. 

Now, I can’t wait to try out my pitch at my next networking function.”

-Emiko Okabe, Sakura Family Acupuncture

“Barbara is so creative and good at helping you to access your personal talents to express succinctly.  My message is now succinct. 

Our session was abundant with creative ideas I discovered and can use to build on in other areas of my career.  I am grateful for her help."   -Linda Mercier, Mercier Coaching

“Barbara, you know how to coach and put people at ease to comfortably create their elevator pitch.  Your coaching quickly saves clients time and money because of your skillful evaluation of how a business should create an authentic brand awareness with a knock-out elevator pitch.

I’m looking forward to working with you in the future.”

-Monica “Mon” Hart MBA, The Marketing Coach

"I live clear across the country from Barbara and I consider it a true blessing to have found her!  I was totally clueless about introducing myself.  Networking events were nerve-racking and anxiety-filled and always left me feeling "less than".

With Barbara's help, I was able to discover the personal qualities I have that would make my elevator pitch memorable.  I don't know if what I do is particularly memorable.  However, I now know that what I offer to others is quite memorable.

Thanks, Barbara!"
