Testimonials

Working with Barri catapulted my relationship with my partner to a different level.  We are now in sync in our communications and achieving bottom line results.  Thank you!

Sheldon Wills, Owner, Retail Property Management Co.

Barri’s ability to bring focus to and suggest solutions to the problems we faced in our partnership played a major role in doubling our profits in one year—our biggest growth in our 17 year history.

Steve Zaragoza, Owner, Commercial Maintenance Company

One of my clients, a family owned business with three partners, had challenges that made it very difficult to proceed because of differences of opinion on how the business should be managed.

With her excellent communication and analytical skills, Barri helped these three partners come to an agreement that allowed each of them to feel valued and respected.  Barri has a gift for being able to pinpoint the source of the partnership disagreements and to guide the partners through to a solution that they can all agree with.

I highly recommend Barri Carian for her high level of sensitivity to individual partner needs, her superb creativity, and her overall ability to lead every project to a successful conclusion.

Lorraine Reafsnyder, President, HR Advisors, Inc.

“I had the privilege of working through partnership coaching by Barri in the early stages of forming a potential business partnership. Barri’s keen ability to quickly and effectively draw out existing areas of alignment and potential misalignment in an environment of openness, provide candid and constructive feedback, and work with us to build a comprehensive partnership development plan was invaluable. I have since engaged Barri for additional coaching and consider her insight and skills an essential part of my professional development.”
