Barbara's business is in the field of personal growth and transformational leadership. She works with companies and executives to design and facilitate personal effectiveness training and coaching programmes.

Establishing her company seemed a natural progression from her work as Assistant Professor at Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University- UIC in China, where she teaches on the subject of emotions and human relationship building, ethics and philsophy.  

Barbara hails from Italy and moved to the Asia Pacific region in 2000. She has experienced some personal turmoil in her life but says she has managed to use this adversity in a positive way. She has created a new life for herself, and believes in what she calls "radical connections": authentic, solid connections that are essential building blocks for happiness and fulfilment in anybody's life.

Barbara gives talks on the subject of emotional intelligence and rapport building, and she is currently writing a book on “The Gift Of Connecting” designed for people who want to embark on a journey of self-discovery and meaningful rapport-building. She is strongly committed to making a difference in people’s lives and her business is her vehicle.

Her favourite quote is by the poet Rumi: "Let the beauty we love be what we do". As Barbara says "This is what my journey has been about".
