Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Good Morning, Life! I knew I wanted Barbara to speak to my team. Her perspective, as well as the perceptive and thought-provoking questions she posed to us, resonated with the entire team and prompted much conversation during and after her visit. Do yourself a favour — read GML and then have Barbara inspire you in person. Thank you, Barbara!
