About me

Trainer

I AM BARBARA

I played right from the start.
Then I tinkered, glued collages, sewed, created.

I wanted to become a goldsmith.
It had been there for a long time, this desire. After an internship, I knew that FORGING is a beautiful way of communicating, a beautiful expression, but I wanted to COMMUNICATE with other people.

Today, 39 years later, I can look back on a 30-year acting career and have been teaching, training and accompanying people in all areas of communication for 20 years.
All those who want to feel confident in their presentations, who know that they need more clarity of expression, body, voice, rhetoric, all those who want to GROW. It's about FREEDOM.

I have NEVER left the STAGE and more and more often I leave it to others, but then I always have them in my EYE, support them, accompany them, spur them on, bring them to their true GREATNESS.

I am a passionate actress, love to speak and have now reached the point in my third profession as a COMMUNICATION TRAINER where I can say:
NOW IT'S REALLY GETTING GOING!

In my Offered reflects my entire expertise.

My GUIDANCE is playful and contains tools that can be used immediately.
Individual and to the point.
I AM HERE and look forward to the contact with you, the journey, the experience, the growth. Together.

The core of my work, the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end:

THE PRESENCE.
This is where I move and this is where I lead you.

I have NEVER stopped forging.
First silver, then gold, then me and now I'm forging your expression, your language, your skills, your gold together with you!

If you would like to work with us, please get in touch.

I look forward to seeing you!

LET IT SHINE!

"Communication training is more than just a Communication training.

It is the portal to yourself,

the beginning of the greatest love affair,

that you can have in your life."

I found the summer course most helpful when it came to the "self-confidence" part.
This course and my own experiences have helped me to function better as a conversationalist, to know better where my skills can help me and what things are out of my reach (and need to be done by the other person instead).
I think I'm more confident in my appearance now - I believe in myself more.
The course helped me to realize how capable I am and therefore helped me to doubt myself less.
Now that I think about it, this could also be related to the "effective" part of the summer course.
Less doubt means that there is more energy left over to communicate things effectively.
I have also noticed that I can communicate better with my superiors.

It's a slow process, but I'm learning to structure what I say better so that I'm understood properly.

Thank you very much for everything you have invested in the summer course.
It's admirable how much energy you put into what you do.

May your year 2025 be a good one.

In addition, the employees should learn about body and voice training, managing conflict situations and apply techniques to provide positive customer care.

Barbara Seifert prepared the training training in close consultation with our team leader Matthias Schleicher and always always coordinated her methods constructively with our objectives. On eleven days, there was an teams of up to ten people an 8-hour "daily sprint".

In December 2024, thanks to the support of Marion Enkirch, who made the contact, I booked the actress and communication trainer Barbara Seifert for our IT Technical User Support Team Germany as part of our team days. The aim of the training was to network the employees from the various locations in Germany, who are grouped together in clusters and only meet by phone or digitally throughout the year, and to provide them with communication tools and tools for dealing with conflict situations.
After several joint planning meetings, Barbara had put together a well-founded training program for us from her extensive repertoire of exercises.
On the training day I was a participant myself, part of the team!
Barbara was perceived positively by the participants throughout. Her communication was clear and motivating, and she knew how to convey the content clearly. The implementation of the assignment was very successful thanks to her structured approach and her ability to promote a positive group dynamic. The participants felt well looked after and encouraged to take an active part in the seminar. The atmosphere in the seminar was consistently positive and motivating, and the fun factor was not neglected.
Looking back, I can say that the team-building seminar was a complete success. The methods used and the motivating atmosphere helped the participants to gain valuable experience both individually and as a group.
The skills I have learned now provide a solid basis for further improving cooperation in everyday life. That was exactly my goal.
I would like to thank my team and trainer Barbara for this successful day.
