“Barbara is one of a kind. I am very satisfied with her professionalism and at the same time her easygoing attitude. In just one call I learned so much. I found her just in time to help me with my project on developing my courses as I am a Softskills trainer.

She is flexible, a good listener, and aims effortlessly to fulfill all my requests. I will be ongoing with Barbara for my learning. Thank you Barbara, you are just the greatest!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Barbara Grala on a PowerPoint project that required a very tight turn-around time. Barbara enthusiastically accepted the opportunity.

Barbara was able to complete the project very quickly and did an absolutely brilliant job. She was great with communication and was highly malleable. I had to make a few tweaks to the project, and Barbara very quickly incorporated those changes. She realizes we work in a very fluid business climate; her flexibility and dexterity was profoundly appreciated.

Barbara is truly the consummate professional. She does incredible work at a fair and equitable price. She really gets what customer service is all about. I will be sending all of my critical jobs over to Barbara moving forward. I can recommend her without equivocation.”

“Barbara was my executive assistant at Hewitt Associates for five years supporting me in my role as Global Chief Diversity Officer. She was a proficient partner and assisted me with the details of leading a practice. After Hewitt I started up a consulting business with Diversity Best Practices. Despite geographic distance, she stepped in as my virtual interim executive assistant while I searched for a full time person and then continued to support the team virtually. She also worked on some personal projects for me. Working with Barbara was a blast. She not only got things done in a high quality way, but she also has a great sense of humor–a rare and wonderful combination. I recommend Barbara to business professionals seeking the services of a virtual assistant.”

“Barbara is the ideal VA for anyone who expects high-quality content processed in a timely manner. She is conscientious and quick when editing. She has the uncanny ability to anticipate what sentence, graph, or flow of ideas might work best. She is resourceful and confident to give feedback. And most of all, Barbara always greets you with a (virtual) smile and makes you feel she’s got your back. She is my secret weapon to get things done.”
