"It’s easy to get lost and stuck when reaching a transition or turning point in your life, especially us baby boomers upon reaching middle age. I decided to consult with a professional, Barbara Waxman and the Odyssey Group. It made perfect sense to me to use a professional in this situation because, let’s face it, these are pretty big questions. Something this personal not only warrants a professional but someone who is compassionate and caring enough to tackle the delicateness of the situation. Barbara helped me achieve clarity about where I've been, where I am now, and where I'm going, all in an extremely focused but caring and compassionate way. I highly recommend consulting with Barbara and The Odyssey Group for anyone needing answers with what happens in the next chapter of their life."

"My first life coaching experience was with Barbara Waxman. My expectations were that we could identify and sharpen my focus on my life’s priorities. That process was successful but what stunned me was Barbara’s keen intuition. She pulled out obstacles that I did not recognize and offered solutions to help me deal with those issues. I highly recommend Barbara as a coach who will help you find and foster your strengths."

“I was fortunate to have used Barbara as a career coach through GILD (The Global Institue for Leadership Development ). I have experienced a very positive change in my career. Her suggestions helped me improve my rapport with reports by giving me tools to build trust. Working with Barbara has been a great experience.”

- Robert Lincer

“What I really appreciated about Barbara's coaching was her blend of focussing on results (New York) and her attention to the spiritual side of people (California). I came away from sessions with Barbara feeling that I had been deeply heard, challenged to consider and reconsider my ideas and plans, and had a new or 'tweaked' direction in which to move - steps to take. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone, especially if you have changes upcoming in your life or if you wish to make plans for changes.”

"I have been a consultant to dozens of non profit organizations and elected officials for the past thirty years in my own career and truly thought I understood the art of providing guidance, experience, and leadership to my clients. I realize now -- having worked with Barbara Waxman on a weekly basis for the past six months to help me articulate and achieve my own life goals -- what a gifted consultant and executive coach I have! Barbara's gift for listening, and offering insights and excellent advice has taught me new skills that I've applied with great results in both my professional and personal lives. I look forward to our weekly sessions and have already recommended Barbara to many of my friends. For those who are ready to take on a life coach -- and even for those who are not sure what path to choose -- working with Barbara will be a fulfilling experience and a friendship to treasure for many years to come."

-L. T., Executive Coaching Client

"I learned so much from Barbara's workshop. She is committed to helping other people grow and become more fulfilled. She is passionate about her mission and it shows in every detail - from the thought and work she put into planning the agenda and activities, through the careful execution of the entire day. I had two epiphanies during the exercises in that one workshop. To me, that constitutes an extraordinary process from a passionate coach and leader. Thank you Barbara."
