Investing in rituals in the workplace
Rituals are intentional actions that follow a specific pattern or script, infused with
symbolism and meaning. The result is a deeper sense of connection, enabling people to
move forward using their own resources.

Testimonials
Sharon Bligh
Consumer Goods Forum (FR)
"Working with Barbel is unique. I had never encountered her techniques and I was quite skeptical at first but I have seen now the impact. Her rituals build a deeper sense of connection, trust and accountability among team members and link everyone around a common belief and purpose."
Gino Govinder
Earthrise Trust (SA)
"One of the most outstanding features I have witness[ed] is her passion and compassion in working with people in a variety of contexts. Her use of ordinary everyday symbols such as a wheel to advance ways of seeing, ways of being and ways of doing were truly inspiring and when done leaves a lasting legacy for our community in South Africa."
Joost Gorter
Partner NewForesight (NL)
"After engaging with her the team is just a little different, a little better, a little happier, and very grateful for their time with her."
