Carol is an absolute miracle worker. My baby momma and I hardly spoke before we met with Carol and when we did, it was contentious. We now openly co-parenting and get along great. She didn’t just mediate our issues, she taught us skills that will last a lifetime.

I was in your non-verbal communication course yesterday. I wanted to reach out and express that I really got a lot out of that course. I used the palms-up method with my wife last night, practiced the Monalisa smile this morning, and there is a now a pod of young professionals walking around the office practicing some of the things I learned yesterday.

The content was complex but very down to earth. The activities were challenging but very engaging.

Thank you! I felt refreshed at the end of the day just being with you.

Today's class was fantastic, as always! It's incredible how rejuvenated I feel after

I just want to thank you again for the basic mediation training. I just did my first solo mediation, with success. I used many of the insights you taught me.
I’m looking forward to doing more.
I really appreciate your mentorship.

I am enjoying the course more than I can express. You are incredibly knowledgeable about the topic and prepared. Usually, it is difficult for me to sit through a class; however, I have remained engaged and our time goes by so quickly. So, I have nothing but positive feedback and appreciation for you!

Wow! I had the opportunity to listen to Carol Barkes’ speech, and I was both inspired and encouraged! Her practical suggestions were something I could implement immediately in both my business and my personal life. Carol’s knowledge of conflict resolution is brilliant and her ability to connect with her audience is amazing.

Always enjoy seeing you and watching you work your “neuro-magic!”

You are on my short list of Mediators who know what they are doing and can often find resolution with difficult situations.

Thank you so much, Carol! You’ve been so helpful during this process and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support when I have felt a little broken.

Thank you for your time and for this amazing experience. It has been life changing related to my outlook on how I want to proceed with it, as well as personal reflection. I wish I had done this years ago and firmly believe if kiddos were learning some of this prior to adulthood it might make the world a better place overall!
…I wish you the best in all that you are doing to make mediation a strong and valuable option for people. I love the neuroscience of it all. Thank you for your time and your expertise these last 2 weeks. It was so profound.

Thanks for your excellent work in this course. You have impressive skills to observe and listen, and then respond with acknowledgement and sound, practical advice. It’s fun to watch you work.

You ARE a Great Lady!!! Thank you for your kindness and warmth. You made all the difference in our mediation.

I wanted to let you know that I really appreciated your training today. I have been through a lot of training, but yours is a breath of fresh air, thanks again. Can't wait for more

Carol thank you so much for your time yesterday and helping us through this difficult stage. I went into that meeting very anxious but I want to thank you for you insight and setting the tone right off the bat to calm it down.

Thank you so much!! I thoroughly enjoyed your class and walked away with so make takeaways that I am excited to apply to my life.
Thank you for sharing your light with all of us!

Yes, I went to court and it worked out fine just like you said, the judge already knew my situation thanks to you, you're awesome and I'm glad you're my mediator.

Thanks again for being so easy to work with!

The course was fantastic! Carol made the material interesting and engaging, while also ensuring we tied the concepts back to our work.

I so appreciate this course – it taught me to view “negotiation” differently and helped me recognize that I actually am a very good collaborative negotiator. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! You are so skilled in bring out the best in people and in teaching/training.

...You are quite the beauty both inside and out. Your enthusiasm for what you are now doing is so inspiring. It sends a message loud and clear that hope, happiness and love are still absolutely available for all.
