When I first met NY Times best-seller author Barbara Sher in 2004, I signed up to be one of her Sher Success Teams leaders right away. I had already read two of her books and seen one of her PBS specials, and I loved helping people go after their dreams. Today, I am the Director of Sher Success Teams. When Barbara asked for help launching the teleworkshops for her new WriteSpeak program in 2007, I had already used this new technology for my corporate clients. After we ran three or four of them, she asked me to join her for the first WriteSpeak retreat, where I taught a class on setting up your website and blog to accompany her workshops on launching a writing and speaking career. The year-long program is now mostly online, but Patrice Jenkins and I still teach the 6-hour teleworkshop portion live, with lots of great recordings of Barbara, and handle the coaching calls throughout the year. In 2012, we launched Barbara’s Club with a wonderful online program called Hanging Out, with all new writing from Barbara to help those not sure what their dreams might be. We added four Barbara Sher book clubs online and an email-a-day program called the Survival Guide for Dreamers. Since her death in 2020, I have become President of Barbara Sher Online LLC in partnership with her estate, a delightful part-time, post-retirement job with a really great team and the best members you could ask for.
