Sharing our ideas and insights with the community
We are guided by our belief in ‘excellence through purposeful action’. Our public speaking and consulting services work brings Barrett’s talent, expertise and insight to the broader community. This community involvement is aimed at helping illuminate ethical sales practices and give insight into better work and personal practices around sustainable selling, resilience, people management, leadership, and emotional wellbeing. In particular, our director Sue Barrett, is passionate about supporting women in the community and business.
Just as Barrett helps salespeople and sales teams collaborate with buyers in new ways, so are we now helping people in roles such as marketing, procurement, teaching, accounting, science, human resources, government, not for profits, sportspeople, software programming, and IT as well as people in outplacement programs and job seekers to communicate and collaborate effectively with their internal stakeholders, partners and suppliers.
