About Barbara:

As an experienced and professionally trained coach, I work alongside my clients to guide them to achieve long-term, highly successful growth. Understanding the underlying feelings and emotions of the leaders are key components for sustained success to occur in the business culture. Having guided organizational executive leaders along the path to greater business effectiveness while enhancing their personal sense of fulfillment and overall success, are accomplishments that I bring to the table as a coach. I work with businesses and organizations across a variety of industries including professional services. I understand the challenges of embracing change having been part of accelerated growth with start up companies.

My focus is on executive coaching and over the past seven years I have been affiliated with Shirlaws Coaching, The Third Zone and Leboffe & Associates. My “sweet spot” is working with companies who are embracing the value of and who want to create a bridge connecting the gap between multi-generations. There are currently four generations in many businesses.

Having developed an outstanding reputation as a top-ranked sales executive for national property valuation companies including Clear Capital, Fidelity National Financial and Appraisal Enhancement Services, I also enjoy coaching sales people. I have held senior level positions with companies overseeing administration, human resources and staffing. Mentoring at risk high school girls through Women of Tomorrow has been very rewarding, watching these young women aspire to attend college after high school. I strongly believe in people and understand the uniqueness of each person I cross paths with. I am a Certified Coach through The Coach Training Institute (CTI) and The International Coaching Federation (ICF) and am a graduate of Cabrillo College in Aptos, CA.

Testimonials

"The coaching solution provided by The Third Zone was truly customized to meet the needs of my team. Our facilitated offsite seminar was by far the most productive we have ever had. Business leaders came away from the event not only aware of incredible partnering opportunities, but with a strong understanding of the powerful dynamic that is unique to the SPG leadership team.
This dynamic has become the foundation of how we stay engaged as our individual businesses continue to grow. It is also the foundation of tapping into the unlimited potential that we all now see in each other. The follow-up coaching has assured that we will all stay committed to maintaining the cohesiveness that was discovered in our seminar. I am so pleased with the results of our work with The Third Zone coaches that I have recommended that Wachovia make this an integral part of how we improve and leverage relationships across businesses."

“Barbara Perino is one of those people you never forget. I first met her years ago in the Bay Area of California, working in the same industry. Over the years, Barb has never changed her committed, honest attitude and bravery in the face of sales. She has amazed me more than once but mostly when she became a coach. I hired her in her early stages of coaching and what a tremendous time asset she was to me! If you are looking for someone to assist you with business development on a national or regional basis, Barbara is the one to increase your presence in that market. Or, do what I did, hire her to coach you in time management and sales focus.” January 13, 2010

When I found out she had transitioned into the field of Life Coaching, I became a client with Barbara for almost a year. She gave me the tools and helped me direct myself to achieve the goals that are important to me both personally and professionally.

 Kelly Smallridge, CEO Business Development Board Palm Beach County

 “Barbara Perino has a natural talent for helping others to "set their compass" to achieve the things in life they wish to achieve, both personally and professionally. She has exceptional listening skills, and she intuitively knows how to say the right things--at the right time. At times when I have needed to refocus and change direction, Barbara has always been there as a coach and mentor. In addition to being an exceptional coach, Barbara is also someone who works extremely well in collaborative, team-based environments. Her contributions, as the VP of Programming for the Women's Executive Club of South Palm Beach County, have been invaluable. Barbara always offers her perspective in a way that is non-judgmental; yet, gets to the heart of a matter that needs to be addressed. She has exceptional skills in helping groups to identify barriers to success--and work through them quickly. She is a true professional, and I highly recommend her to individuals and organizations in need of a trusted adviser who can help them get "from here" to "there."”
