What clients say about working with Barbara and Triquester Teams
"Barbara is an excellent facilitator. There was a general feeling of ease. I felt like a space was created where you could be open. Very helpful."

"I found Barbara's StrengthsFinder coaching incredibly helpful. She worked with me in such a way that I was able to identify very practically where my strengths are already at work in my different roles in life and also where they are evident but have much room to grow. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone that would like to delve deeper into their StrengthsFinder results."
Kathi Kelly, Pastor, City Church, Leeds

“This is a really truly helpful report. Very many thanks indeed. I love the way that this exercise is developing from 'members' strengths' into the 'strengths of our whole church together', including things to watch for where we don't have some strengths.”
Rev Mike Workman, Vicar, St Luke’s Church, Cheltenham.
"The Vision finding process was so helpful. It was great to have somebody from the outside lead it and have a perspective from outside too! I really liked that. The preparation and planning was good. Thank you that you did change after we said that the affirmation method was not what we like here, we appreciated your cultural sensitivity.”
Christine Thumm, Team Leader, Serve the City, Berlin

She had helpful insights into how I could utilize my strengths in both my work and private life. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking some insight into their strengths – how they are using them and how they might want to develop them in the future.”
Paula Nice, Church Administrator, Mosaic Church, Leeds
