Meet your guide

Hello, I’m Barbi Buckles, RN. I have over four decades of nursing expertise. I bring years of experience connecting and caring for patients. And, together with heartfelt compassion and deep respect for people I help my clients identify, release, and dissolve unhelpful patterns of behavior. As a Certified Behavioral Analysis Consultant using the Maxwell DISC method I also work to enhance communication that stimulates personal growth and fosters a deeper connection with others.

In healthcare, I empower you to communicate effectively with your medical providers in advocating for better outcomes. As your life coach, I help you enhance your relationships through stronger communication and deeper connection. And as a leadership coach, I help experienced entrepreneurs sharpen communication with their teams, partners, and clients, and I guide young professionals in creating a focused career path that enables them to thrive.

Discover Yourself Through DISC

Discover yourself and connect with people.

As a leadership and life coach, I specialize in the DISC assessment, a powerful tool to understand your personality, interpersonal skills, leadership style and behavioral patterns. DISC is used by one million people every year to improve communication, teamwork, and organizational efficiency.

Navigate obstacles and challenges by learning about yourself.

The DISC assessment is not just a test, but a powerful tool that will illuminate the unique strengths and capabilities within you, your partner, or your team. As a result you will be able to navigate through your most difficult road blocks when relating to others.

I set up a plan with you in preparation for your doctor appointments. We review your medications, symptoms, and goals and discuss that plan with your doctor, whether in person or on video conference.

Before coaching with Barbi, my life was incredibly stressful. I experienced frequent headaches and felt overwhelmed by my job and home responsibilities. I lacked the tools to manage my life effectively. Through Barbi's coaching, I learned strategies to identify and manage stress, set achievable goals, and create a better work-life balance. Now, I've transitioned to a more fulfilling career, experienced fewer headaches, and navigated life with greater confidence and self-awareness. I apply the tools and techniques I've learned to improve both my professional and personal relationships, feeling much happier and more in control of my life.
