Barb Bickford

I'm Barb Bickford, founder of Improve Your Meetings, where we aim to help you collaborate and lead with confidence so you can make a difference.  

As a former staff scientist in the public sector, I saw how... 

-- poorly-led meetings led to tenuous results, 
-- fear of conflict kept people from sharing their best ideas, and 
-- top-down decisions would be challenged or sabotaged by people who felt left out.

In turn, these meetings...

-- created unnecessary stress
-- strained relationships. and 
-- delayed implementation of our mission. 

In time, I grew to be well-known for helping people to work together on challenging and emerging issues.

Now I help people like you transform their meetings and their personal leadership too!

What the lack of effective collaboration
is doing to your mission, your team and yourself
-- just isn't right!




Are you ready...

...to be seen and respected as a leader? 

...to get more done in less time?

...to advance your career?

...to find more purpose in your work? 

...to help your team work together better?
