In her speaking programs, Barbara combines her sports experience with her background hosting Access Television's "May We Talk" to help people and organizations perform at high levels when it counts the most... after a fall.
She uses a combination of techniques to help clients identify whatever may be blocking them from future success. Voice dialogue is a method that allows the client to interact with whatever belief or behaviour is blocking their performance. May also relies on GeoTran, a language of energy fields and muscle testing that allows May to identify areas of weakness. |
