“Lois was our opening keynote speaker at our Women In Trucking conference this year. The audience of nearly 800 (mostly) female audience who work in the very male dominated world of trucking loved her and her message!  

She shared her experiences in a way that made the message more personal. I would recommend Lois for anyone looking for a speaker who encourages, supports, empowers, and entertains the women leaders in their audience.

You can't miss the mark with Lois and her Courage to Sparkle!”

“Lois is phenomenal!

Together with a group of senior level female litigators, I attended Lois' Shatter Your Inner and Outer Glass Ceiling Program.

She was excellent at listening and helping to identify issues faced by women lawyers in the courtroom and the boardroom.

Lois provided tangible tools and effective strategies for improving and elevating my presence and dealing with gender-related issues that women lawyers face.

Lois' coaching session helped me figure out not only how to have a seat at the table, but how to lead and control the table!”

“Lois immediately energized the room through humor and
compassion. It was exactly what our research personnel needed to lift them up! Her session resulted in such positive feedback from our group.

Thank you for providing solutions for dealing with our stress and disguising it through entertainment and laughter!”

“Lois returned to our office by popular demand for another professional development workshop.

She encouraged us to make a commitment to move towards action with one activity we would like to complete, but have not yet. For me it was completing my final assignment for my MS degree.

I made a committment, acted on it, and less than a month later I graduated. Lois is a dynamic!

She shows you how to move you into action and make the process simple, fun and productive.

Thank you, Lois!”

“You are truly a wonderful presenter. We received a lot of positive feedback from our guests.

One of them even dropped off a bag of chocolate at my apartment to say THANKS!”

“Lois’ energy is a breath of fresh air.

Not surprisingly, her style has been compared to that of Ellen DeGeneres- positive, fun, personable, musical… Lois brings 20 plus years of experience as a coach, speaker, health care practitioner and comedienne to her presentations.

What’s most impressive is how Lois engages her audience, using real-life examples, comedy, and high-value interaction.

You’re laughing, thinking, and engaging with others as you clarify your goals, navigate change, and recognize how you can lighten up to reduce self-imposed stress.

It’s such an inspiration to meet someone as insightful as Lois"

“I had the pleasure of attending Lois’ “Stress Less…Sparkle More” workshop at my conference through my union. I immediately felt her Sparkle from the get go!

She had such a upbeat and energetic personality.  The combination of heartfelt and entertaining stories, practical strategies and exercises, mixed with her insightful LOIS-isms (lessons, opportunities, insights, and solutions) on how to deal with stress in a positive way really made a difference!

Luckily we received her book, Courage to SPARKLE, which has been so helpful to me in so many ways both personally and professionally. Lois, her book, and her Sparkle came to me at a time in my life when I needed it the most and I am thankful for getting the opportunity to experience it. I NEEDED the Courage to SPARKLE!! We all need to SPARKLE! Especially now. Lois can show you how!”

Behavioral Wellness Meets Professional Development

“I am a strong believer in leading by example and in working where I am most effective. Lois helped me to clarify my greatest passions and how to best leverage my time.

Together we brainstormed ways to champion my rockstar team of designers and back office staff to step into new roles of leadership. Being a serial entrepreneur, I am constantly looking to provide cutting-edge services and products for my clients - all while building my brand.

It’s essential for me to have a team of advisors supporting this effort.   In addition, Lois always has great ideas that help to navigate the logistical aspects of an ever-changing service business like ours."

"I would recommend Ms. Barth to other employers that have employee issues that span beyond the workplace but also into whole-person issues that perhaps an executive or business coach is less suited to handle.

As an HR Leader for Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., a world leading insurance brokerage agency, I am often looking for qualified external partners to help support the development of our talent.

Recently, we had a long-service and high-performing employee experience some challenging life events that were affecting her work product and behaviors. We contracted with Lois Barth to provide her consulting expertise with our employee with the intent of providing guidance and support to this individual in dealing with very personal and difficult issues and learning how to balance these emotions so not to negatively impact other areas of her life.

The employee in question found great value out of these sessions and took away as much about being more effective in the workplace as she did general life skills. There was also an increased engagement level of the employee in her appreciation of Gallagher’s support and investment in her by providing her with Ms. Barth’s services.

Ms. Barth handled a difficult situation with the upmost professionalism and appropriately balanced keeping the situation confidential for the employee while providing Gallagher with high-level but non-confidential progress updates."

"Lois is a professional through and through! She has remarkable insight into the changing world of business and gives productive and constructive advice.

Through her role as a career coach, she helps you to set achievable goals while still pushing you to aim higher."

"Lois will be the teammate who will change your life. Whether you want a new perspective on an issue or assistance with leadership skills, Lois has the insight you need. She is smart, grounded, and a great communicator.

Lois was a godsend for me. I recommend Lois without hesitation for men and women alike."

"I first came to Lois because I was looking to make a shift in my career. Within the first 20 minutes of our session, I was able to connect to my deep grief about not being able to make a relationship work.

It was then I learned that Lois was also a trained relationship coach! So I shifted my focus toward finding a life partner and followed her guidance.

She helped me to envision how I could have more fun in a relationship. She encouraged me to bring my authentic self on dates and to my friendships and other relationships.

Six months after working with Lois, not only did I find my soul mate but I feel more myself than ever before.

Lois was, of course, one of the first people I invited to our wedding!

"At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about my girlfriend having someone who helped her with our relationship but I soon realized that Kim had a calmness about her and an openness to talking about small miscommunications that arose between us.

This was new for me. She didn’t blame me for things.

 Ultimately, I felt lucky to be with someone who was receiving outside support and I appreciated the non-judgmental perspective that Lois contributed to our relationship."

"SELF magazine tapped Lois Barth as the featured life coach for the annual, highly successful SELF Challenge program.

I highly recommend her as a Speaker, Consultant, and Expert."

"I’ve called upon Lois over the years to supply expert advice on a wide range of health - and happiness-related topics.

She’s a reputable source whose opinion I value highly, and I will no doubt rely on her expertise for future articles."

“Lois is a unique and incredibly talented individual in so many ways -- she is creative, engaging, thoughtful, wise, and deeply caring about individuals, companies, and the world around her.

I have had the good fortune to know Lois for many years now, first as a friend and admirer of her public speaking work, and then as a client of her executive coaching services for a person on my team. She is definitively non-traditional, and that is precisely what makes her presence so valuable: she can challenge people and organizations in very innovative ways, and she achieves outsized results as a consequence.

She helps bring out the best in people and offers tools and insights well beyond the norm.

Whether you engage her as a keynote speaker, a workshop leader, an executive coach or a journalist, she will surprise you with what she's able to bring to the moment.

Thanks, Lois, for bringing more spark (and sparkle) into our world!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working Lois as a recipient of her executive coaching services and she has been incredibly helpful. Even though I’d been practicing law for almost three decades, I was still finding that I wanted to be crisper in delivery when explaining complex legal issues to my business clients, and to let more of my personality show through.

Lois taught me some highly effective techniques to solve for these issues and help me become a better communicator. She also had some very practical suggestions for managing the ever-present challenges facing a working mother.

Lois has an enthusiasm and sense of humor that make working with her an easy and enjoyable experience while also providing opportunities for self-reflection. I also attended a #MLWomen program hosted by the Morgan Lewis Pittsburgh Office where Lois presented her workshop on communication and self-advocacy strategies for women.

Lois provided powerful and practical strategies to help women become clearer communicators, advocate for themselves in an authentic way, and provide feedback in a way that creates connection. And we had a lot of fun in the process!

Lois will certainly bring Sparkle to any event she leads!"

“Lois and I met a few years ago at a Society of Women Engineering conference where she was the opening keynote.

We have kept in touch throughout the years!  I can always count on Lois for encouragement and feedback.  Recently I brought her in to present her Radical Resiliency virtual presentation for Kimley-Horn's Women LIFT (Lasting Impact for Tomorrow) program. Her program was so much more than we could hope for.  

Lois provided encouragement, critical thinking and helped our women in practice through the effects of the Imposter Syndrome and tips on how to develop resiliency during these hard times."

“Lois had a very challenging task ahead of her on a technological as well as group level. She presented a workshop via video teleconferencing with fourteen different departments at the same time!  On video! It made my head spin, just looking at it!

But she nailed it. She tailored her presentation to Capital One Bank’s needs. Understanding our work/life balance and challenges with stress, she brought her unique form of expertise, humor and SPARKLE! She was very motivating, told great stories, made us laugh, but also showed us her techniques, which brought an immediate calmness to everyone in the room. In addition, she added personalized tweaks that celebrated team members, and boosted morale.

For weeks after the event, people were still talking about her fun loving style and how helpful her “Stress Less…Thrive More” presentation was.”

“Lois is a Powerhouse! 350 women came away energized, inspired and full of great ideas! They talked about it for weeks afterwards.”

“As a member of the advisory board for the Wisconsin Bankers Association’s Women in Banking Conference, I recommended Lois as the keynote speaker.

Her “Courage to Sparkle” talk was inspiring and entertaining. Here’s just a few glowing comments the committee heard after the conference: “very fun and great personality and great message,” “engaging and inspiring,” “wonderful, entertaining, useful content,” and the best takeaway, “I hope to take this “Sparkle” with me in both my work and personal life.”

 From the very beginning, Lois made me feel like a personal friend, not simply a professional speaker. Not only did she do a great job presenting but she helped me kick off a committee at my own office to keep the positive momentum going.

I highly recommend Lois to speak at your next event!”

“Your energy, humor, exercises and message really motivated my team. They walked away feeling empowered both professionally & personally, and so did I!"

“I had the pleasure of working with Lois Barth as the keynote speaker for our Unstoppable Women in Business Conference.

From our first conversation I knew that I was working with a professional who not only cared about delivering content that would encourage and inspire our audience, but made the planning process run smoothly and inspire and motivate the group in the process.

I would highly recommend Lois Barth for your event!”

“There are certain, specific moments in life that are turning points - moments after which nothing is ever quite the same.

Meeting Lois Barth is one of those moments for me. I had big dreams, and little clarity. Lois' energy and warmth was so magnetic, I knew I needed to be around this woman. Lois asked the right questions for me to get clarity and focus.

Her faith in me rubbed off on me and propelled me to take massive action. Lois is smart as a whip, funny as all hell, and as real as they come. I have gone from attorney to stay-at-home mom to tech company COO to Certified Coach with real paying clients, leading workshops and sharing my message with growing audiences - inspiring others to have faith in themselves and get out of their own way!

Lois is like the sunshine I needed on the seed that is my potential. Forever grateful."

"I could literally write a book on what I’ve accomplished since working with Lois Barth."

"Working with Lois Barth on honing my interview skills was one of the best investments I’ve made early on in my career.

I’m one of those people, who give 1000% at whatever I do. In addition to excelling in academia, I’m also deeply committed to my love of the arts (dance) and giving back (volunteering for numerous projects) and playing an active role in my college community. Not to brag, but I was often told what I an impressive resume I had, which of course, while great to hear, still didn’t help me land the job.

I would often get to a certain level, and then for whatever reason not be able to land the position I wanted so badly. I did all the preparation and yet I was frustrated and confused what the missing piece was. What Lois pointed out early on, was that I was leaving what she called my “rockstar self” behind closed doors. On the interview I was only showing up in a one-dimensional way, and not “bringing it,” to the interview.

Being a tad shy and understated wasn’t helping me communicate my skills, passion, and commitment. It wasn’t even about confidence, I actually had that; it was about bringing my most enthusiastic and authentic self to the interview process, so they could truly see who I was and what I’d bring to the table. Lois and I worked diligently to create what she calls “Story-Selling” using stories based on my accomplishments to educate the interviewer on my achievements, core values and winning qualities.

There was lots of work ahead from learning how to give a winning interview on the phone, and convey my attributes only through my voice (not skype), to my final interview where I needed to bring my "rockstar self" to a panel of six higher up team members who interviewed me in person; which is daunting to everyone, even people twice my age.

I was overjoyed when I received an offer and truly love my job. I learned from Lois that we live in a world where an impressive resume is a great start, but unless you bring your most alive and engaging self to the interview, decision-makers aren’t going to know the full impact of what your capabilities are.

Lois helped me convey it in a way that felt conversational, authentic and polished. I’d highly recommend working with Lois, whether for a tune-up or an overhaul on your interview skills."

“We are a longtime client and fan of Lois Barth’s. My sister, Tali Edut, and I first worked with Lois when our business was at a crucial turning point.

As a coach, she lovingly guided us to make important changes that turned our company into a profitable venture it is today, many years later. What sets Lois apart is her blend of authenticity, fun, bolstered by a rock-solid background of experience, training and practicality.

She’s a savvy New Yorker who “gets it” while also bringing a nurturing and sisterly vibe. Lois genuinely cares about and invests herself into the people she works with…and really everyone she meets. She is a phenomenal storyteller.

We all need encouragement and tools to keep believing in ourselves, and to bravely forge ahead on the paths that call to us.

Lois does this with wit, style and yes, plenty of SPARKLE.”

“Lois Barth is a tour de force in the world of professional coaching and personal transformation, and a passionate advocate for women who are ready to step into their power and find their true voice in the workplace and in the world.

Lois has a unique ability to entertain, inspire, educate, and change lives through her powerful presentations, programs, and one on one coaching. I have had the privilege of working and collaborating with Lois through the years as a facilitator, personal coach, colleague, and business leader; and I've watched her clients excel in their chosen fields as they use her innovative exercises and insights to discover their full potential, express themselves powerfully, and breakthrough their own inner glass ceilings to take their lives and careers to the next level and beyond.

If you are ready to discover a new world of possibilities and personal potential that you didn't know existed, I highly recommend Lois Barth as a brilliant guide, coach, facilitator, and leader."

"Working with Lois has been truly life-changing. Her holistic approach to coaching means that I get guidance for practical day-to-day business issues, long term goal setting, along with a dose of self care tips thrown in. 

Whether I am trying to navigate long term goals or just manage the next thing on my to do list, Lois is able to help me navigate the stress and challenges that I am facing.

She is truly one stop shopping for life and career coaching. She is strong and pushes me forward while also being kind and compassionate.

I feel lucky to have found her and have been working with her for over 7 years and will continue working with her in the future."

“Lois empowers you to shift your current thinking and reach your goals with play, ease and grace. Inspiring, motivating, visionary, funny are just a few characteristics that this powerful lady exudes. 

Always feeling like part of her family as she leads with heart and humor.

I am grateful for my time with Lois as she made a positive impact on my future.”

“Lois is a phenomenal motivating force! She has the ability to help you filter through the internal noise and fears which can hold us back from success and achievement.

She helped me set up concrete actions and plans while examining my goals for myself and my business. I highly recommend Lois for anyone that is serious about taking their business and themselves to new heights.

Taking the time to do this work for oneself is essential and Lois is a strong, honest, funny and kind guide!”
