Would you be prepared to give me 30-minutes of your time on video or telephone?

Your action – just email coachbarrow@me.com with the word “Coach 2021” in the subject line and I’ll connect.

p.s. If you need help in 2020, I’m sold out – but I can refer you to my workshop programme (where we still have spaces) or another coach.
