Barbara Corcoran
Testimonials
Barbara electrified the audience because they knew she had traveled a path in life that had
similarities to their own. While others talk about thinking outside the box, Barbara has seldom
stepped inside that box. Her words were nothing less than priceless and there is no doubt that
the impression she made will be a gift carried by all for the rest of their lives. Everyone fell in love
with her!

By dedicating the time and attention to understanding both our models and the challenges that
face our franchisees, your keynote carried the weight of someone who is as invested and
committed as they are, it was powerful, on track, needed, required, and well worth it.
- Budget Blinds, Inc.
Thank you so much for agreeing to be our keynote speaker at the 27th Annual Women in
Leadership Awards luncheon. The membership of Executive Women of the Palm Beaches and
our guests were so impressed by your candor and authenticity as you delivered your message.
While the lessons you shared with us were meaningful and very practical, what made it such a
memorable experience was to see how someone as successful as you can still be so
approachable. The most frequent comment received from your audience was that everyone
felt as if they had known you for years; you were one of us. Getting to know you as you
interacted with your “fans” made me understand that your success was not just due to your
knowledge and experience, but also to your charming personality.

Barbara spoke at our officers’ conference with people from 16 countries in attendance. She was
utterly charming—sensible, accessible and funny. Her insights about the real estate market spill
over into personal career development and everyday economics. She's the one people
remember.

Barbara Corcoran addressed [or “wowed”] a standing-room-only crowd at More Magazine's 3rd
Annual Reinvention Convention. Introduced as the “patron saint of any woman who has ever
created her own career,” Barbara told the highlights of her story, to much laughter and
applause: how her mother taught her to use the gifts she had; how her boyfriend loaned her
money to get started then dumped her to marry her secretary; how she went off on her own
and made a success of the business by being an innovator; how she sold the company for $68

million—then faced the question of, “What next?” The audience was wildly appreciative,
swarming Barbara as she left the podium, asking for autographs and advice. A combination of
high energy and high takeaway value, Barbara was a tremendous hit.

Barbara instantly connected with our audience and delivered an entertaining, enthusiastic, and
insightful presentation. She understands clearly the difference between a great salesperson and
an also-ran. She took the time to understand our business and provided five great ideas that our
sales team can implement when they return to their markets. I've had the good fortune to hear
some of the best speakers in the world, and if you're looking for someone with real world
experience to ignite your sales team I can't think of anyone that would be a better choice.

Your remarks were everything we hoped they would be and contained the uplifting and
inspiring messages that we felt were so important for our audience to hear.

I have had Barbara speak twice to sold-out crowds with a waiting list each time! There isn’t a
more inspiring speaker in the country. Barbara Corcoran is “magic” at any event.
- Higgins Group
Barbara was the guest speaker at our Annual Sales Meeting of about 200 publishers and sales
professionals from all over North America. She exceeded our expectations through her frank and
realistic discussion of the industry we sell to, which of course she knows extremely well. She
shared her thoughts, in her easy and entertaining way, on the characteristics of the most
successful people she knows and how quickly they are able to pick themselves up and move on
after rejection or defeat. In my opinion, Barbara was a total home run for us.
- Network Communications, Inc.
I have been a Realtor for over 15 years and have attended many presentations by top speakers
and trainers in our industry but none can compare to Barbara Corcoran's wit, common sense,
and great advice! Barbara's straightforward approach to the problems she has faced and
overcome provides an inspiration to everyone who hears her. I applaud her energy, enthusiasm,
and honesty and am always excited to see her on TV.

The most refreshing thing about Barbara Corcoran is that she speaks from both the head and
the heart. Her keynote address to our group of small business women was full of humor,
inspiration, and real tips for creating successes in your life and work. Our attendees left with a
real sense of “I can do this,” and that came from Barbara’s real ability to reach out to her
audience, connect with them, and fill them up with all of the possibilities that the future has to
offer. Barbara was so easy to work with, so personable and so willing to engage our attendees.
She is definitely going to be a tough act to follow!
