Barb founded Timeless HR Solutions because she found that many supervisors and managers struggled with how to best relate to and lead their employees but didn’t feel that Human Resources could be a valued partner in their success. “There is a time to lead, a time to manage and a time to coach.”  By taking the time to actively listen and understand, she found that leaders were more open to her suggestions and recommendations because she helped them see the full picture.

As a member of the Society of Human Resource Management, Barb stays current on the latest news and legal changes affecting the HR profession.
