helps readers tackle the problem with awareness, accountability and a strong dose of common sense.While the book is geared to help individuals, Barbara's message reaches out to Corporate America to promote healthier behaviors through Workplace Wellness Programs - a proven platform for broad based change. Barbara says, "With the top three causes of death being smoking, obesity and alcohol; and health care costs rising past 15% of our GNP, our personal and economic survival is at risk." Barbara hopes Corporate Wellness will be a key element in Health Care Reform. "We have to reduce the need for care, not just manage it," Barbara says.
In her book, Barbara takes the focus off of weight loss and better health and offers a new direction that is based on feeling better and personal responsibility. Readers have an opportunity to experience a little "aha" moment by contemplating their true barriers to change. Barbara then provides the motivation and common sense ideas on how to do it. With a changed mindset, good decisions become easier and weight loss and good health are a side effect.This revelation was the basis for the mental transformation that finally liberated Barbara from her 30-year diet and weight obsession.
Her fresh approach is not new, but something familiar to us. Remember a time when we followed the guiding principles of "everything in moderation" and our diet guru was Grandma? We followed the rules she set for good health and balance. After all, Grandma knew best! And it worked!
Barbara's professional focus is on promoting effective, results-oriented Workplace Wellness programs and employer sponsored Lifestyle Health Coaching. Employers have the vested interest and ability to provide the supportive environments people need to drive healthier behaviors. She says Corporate Wellness is a way to plant seeds of change across this country and is a proven way to reduce health care costs and absenteeism and improve employee productivity, loyalty and morale.
"Corporate Wellness is a win-win for everyone." Barbara says. Barbara presents her inspiring message to Business Owners, Insurance Consultants and Human Resource Professionals.
Barbara also actively promotes her book's common sense message with a touch of humor to the general public. She is a Motivational Speaker on a variety of lifestyle change topics including a popular healthy cooking show that encourages people to minimize restaurant traps and provide a safe-haven for themselves and their families by cooking and preparing food from home.
