As a public speaker, Barbara Evers inspires, motivates, and encourages her audiences to stretch their potential, reaching for the pinnacle of their success.  Barbara shares her own personal life in an engaging manner, drawing on experiences that touch her audience with humor and inspiration.

Barbara's background in public speaking began as a presenter for Citizens Against Crime where she conducted informational seminars on how to avoid a crime and how to act if you find youself the victim of a crime.  Barbara's sensitivity to others' past experiences put her audiences at ease, and many shared their own horrific experiences with her after each seminar.

From there, Barbara advanced into the training and development arena, but she never let go of her love of touching an audience with a thoughtful message.  She served for several years on a speakers bureau for a domestic violence shelter, spreading educational information to churches and other civic groups about this serious issue.

The step to speaking about her faith came as a surprise to Barbara.  A simple request for volunteers to step forward and share their story with a Bible class led Barbara to dig down deep and find the courage to share her story with women who didn't know the struggles she had overcome.  In prayer, she argued the issue with God, but eventually she realized that her life story revealed the hope of grace when all seems dark.  That one class opened the door to further opportunities, leading Barbara to speak about her faith in churches and organizations.  As painful as the first experience was, Barbara found freedom in revealing elements of her own difficult past and joy in sharing how it led to her stronger faith in God.

Trained as a speaker, Barbara, also, teaches others how to effectively develop and present their own message.
