SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Known as the audience whisperer, Barbara Lane captures the hearts and minds of students and professors while weaving together psychological theory and methodology  with actual experiences of clients in her practice as a ministerial counselor.

Barbara uses a gentle yet targeted approach when speaking with support groups, child abuse organizations, foster care organizations, and all things child abuse and trauma. After 25 + years of working with groups, families, and individuals, Barbara is sensitive to the difficulties surrounding addressing these topics.

Barbara is not a stranger to the experience of loss, death, and grief.  When discussing the topic, she gracefully acknowledges the pain involved with loss. At the same time, she leaves participants with a sense of hope in coming to terms with grief and living beyond the grieving process. 

Barbara is thrilled to engage with organizations that bring people of all ages together, in pursuit of creating a meaningful and lasting impact in the world, their local communities, and within themselves. 

Rev. Barbara has performed services in most denominations as well as interfaith. If your religious organization seeks a speaker on topics shown on this page or spirituality and life in general, she would be a gift to your congregation.  

Rev. Barbara has a soft spot in her heart and takes a soulful approach to speaking for fund raisers.  She limits her fund-raising engagements to not-for-profit organzations.

When available, Barbara is delighted to speak at book clubs. She makes herself readily available  to answer questions (claiming she is now an open book after the release of "Broken Water") and provide a reading or two from her memoir.

One of the greatest joys for Barbara is speaking to young minds about their studies, their future plans, and their understanding of an ever complex world. From High School to College, Rev. Barbara weaves a web of engagement between herself and students.
