Barbara, I never took the time to properly thank you for consulting with Bill and me during the time we owned and operated FIVE STAR.  You gave us some advise that saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars.  You also made sure, through your incredible follow up, that we followed through on the things we needed to do to turn our company into a profit making organization that we could enjoy and one day sell.  You know we sold FIVE STAR a year ago at a price that we are very happy with.

In addition to helping us grow our company, you also provided a calming effect and made it easier for Bill and I to work together as a team.  I recommend you whole heartedly to any small or medium size business owner.   

Most business owners are good at working in their business, but not on their business.  You helped us work on our business!    My only regret is that we did not start working with you sooner! 

As a new business owner, I am very fortunate that Barbara Ziegler crossed my path.   Having her experience and guidance has been like having a seasoned partner with whom to bounce ideas around.   She has been able to show me how to extract from myself the confidence I need to market my services, and move my business in the appropriate direction.  Each time we meet, I take away numerous ideas that help me attain a higher degree of comfort, and understanding of many essential business components.

For nearly a year my Executive Coaching sessions with Barbara have enlightened me to unique points of view for managing various business matters that limit my success.  Barbara has been helpful in recommending ideas and solutions that have allowed me to develop methods for employee evaluation and training along with tools for measurement and monitoring of performance.   Barbara has always been a voice of reason and sound advice for me during times of difficult decision-making.  From the day we began our sessions she has upheld her commitment that there is no agenda to her work…it is all about my achieving greater success.   I recommend Barbara to anybody looking for personal development in business management skills.

In business, trust and relationships mean everything. My clients expect a great deal of service from me, and I expect the same from everyone I do business with.  Barbara Ziegler has worked with me on three different business opportunities through the years and has helped me achieve my business and personal goals each time.

As a business owner, I sometimes find myself so wrapped in day-to-day processes that I lose track of the companies direction, and just as importantly, my employees. Barbara does an excellent job of keeping me focused on my business goals as well as employee productivity and moral. I would recommend SOLUTIONS to any business owner that wants to improve their bottom line and employee performance."

Barbara Ziegler helped me pursue an attractive business opportunity.  She assisted with goal clarification and evaluation. Then she drew on her experience and research skills to introduce pertinent concepts to facilitate the process.  In our coaching sessions she monitored my progress and suggested resolutions to problems that were causing delays.  Momentum toward my objectives was encouraged with suggested action items and introductions to helpful resources.  With Barbara Zeigler's help I made good decisions and fast progress.  I recommend Barbara Ziegler to those wishing to derive the greatest benefit from business opportunities.

Barbara, just wanted to say how much our coaching sessions are helping me to get my business to the next level. As an Entrepreneur, it's easy to get "stuck" and not know where and how to "get out of the box". Your fresh insights and very personable approach coupled with the accountability is just what I have been needing. You have a great ability to hone in on the critical areas and then offer pertinent "solutions" that work. I highly recommend your services. Thanks.

During the past few months I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Barbara Zeigler of SOLUTIONS. As an executive coach Barbara listened to my concerns and was able to provide timely and professional advice that enabled me to get organized and gain control over a "paper hell". Barbara also acted as a catalyst for change, which ultimately enabled me to focus on core business tasks. I would strongly recommend Barbara as an executive coach for moving your business to the next level.

“I was glad to take advantage of Barbara's executive coaching services when I did. My firm was starting to rebound from two slow first quarters. Things were starting to happen faster than I anticipated. I had just revised my business plan and focus. Now, I was struggling with a couple of business decisions to grow my business. Should I add an admin assistant, should I hire someone to organize my office, or should I add a sales person? She listened with objectivity and helped take the emotion out of making these decisions. She helped me look down the road. She helped get me started down the road to growing my business. She was a cheerleader and coach for my firm.”

When Ms. Zeigler first contacted me concerning her small Business Consulting I was not at all receptive.  Before starting my own company six years ago, I had worked for several Fortune 500 companies. My experience with the consultants used by those firms was disappointing.
 
 To her credit, Ms. Zeigler followed up with some references. I noticed that several were clients of ours. After speaking with them, I could tell they were impressed with the results they were achieving. After working with SOLUTIONS for several months, I can honestly say I agree with them.  No pie-in-the-sky ideas here...just smart, measured guidance that I know has paid for itself many times over!
