Barbra has worked across the public and private sector in people focused roles for over 30 years.  Her passion for training, mentoring and coaching has seen her develop bespoke training on everything from analysing national government consultation responses to equality and diversity inclusion to help people gain chartership as well as first line manager training and leadership development training. 

Gathering coaching experience and qualifications along the way Barbra decided to set up Glee in 2022 after a decade working on inclusion and social value for a global design and engineering business.   

Barbra set up the business as she had seen leaders introduced to new roles, with new responsibilities, but without the right support around them to help them flourish.  If the leader isn't effective, neither is the team below them.   

She has led businesses, sat on charitable boards and is an active business mentor with the Help To Grow government scheme. She has led successful teams and has managed diverse project teams where the team members had other main roles to fulfil.  She appreciates cognitive diversity and the value being kind to yourself, stretching yourself with the right support around you and applying your learning on a daily basis. 

When not at work Barbra is with her family, on the beach, with her dogs or throwing a pot or two!
