What Others Say
“The collaboration with Ms. Barbot was an extraordinarily valuable enrichment for our team in the after-school care and inclusive daycare center.
In particular, the introduction of peer consulting has initiated sustainable changes: We finally have a fixed framework to support each other professionally, share experiences and jointly develop solutions for the daily challenges.
Since there is often little room for personal development in everyday life due to staff shortages, the individual coaching sessions were invaluable. Many employees were able to rediscover their strengths, gain more self-confidence and specifically develop their skills.
In particularly stressful situations, Ms. Barbot supported us with rapid and professional crisis support. She always managed to convey calm and security and to find viable solutions together with us.
We experience Ms. Barbot as open, appreciative, and practical. Her work has sustainably strengthened our team, and we recommend her with full conviction.”

“In accompanying municipal initiatives, I have experienced France as an incredibly professional, empathetic and inspiring process facilitator. She has a keen sense of what groups need at any given moment, understands the dynamics and keeps the goals in mind at the same time. With her open mind and human nature, she is a real asset to any collaboration.”

“I had the pleasure of getting to know France, and from the first minute, I admired her and found her extremely likeable and captivating.
She has such a vibrancy. I could always follow her.
Then we started the “Family Daycare in Rheinau” project. In a short time, she grasped the situation in the district.
She was able to find many helpers, sponsors, and supporters, whether it was the organization, the parents, or the community.
And again and again, she was able to provide new impetus from the outside.”

“ «Always act in such a way that the number of possibilities is expanded» – that is what I experience again and again in every supervision during the long-standing collaboration with France.
With her benevolent, empathetic, and at the same time clear manner, she offers a space in which I can reflect on my topics openly and honestly.
I particularly appreciate her professional expertise, which becomes noticeable in her non-judgmental and resource-oriented process support.”

“France in the daycare team development: an absolute gain! Very lively, engaging everyone, and then efficiently getting to the point. In particular, we received very good support in the area of communication and work organization. Thank you very much for that. I can definitely recommend France.”

“France is one who listens precisely, absorbs, and amplifies what is important. She provides new impulses that make one’s own self resonate. She combines warmth and professionalism, seriousness and wit, attitude and pragmatism, hope and serenity. She enriches others in heart and mind, and she grows herself in the process. And pay attention to her memory: she notices (and remembers) everything… 😉”

“I have known France for over 10 years, but perhaps our souls have known each other longer.
In private, France is an exceptional phenomenon – in so many ways:
- her need for peace, which for her already begins in the very small
- her thinking, which is never strategic and always guided by love
- and her way of looking at the world and things with a spirit that is best described as “out of the box.”
Professionally, we have worked together on various projects and concepts. What is striking – and invaluable and so enriching for me – is the freedom within which one is allowed to move as a partner when working with France: anything can happen. Only in a second step do you structure and sort things out. For me, the first step is so magical because so much new can arise. In her kitchen hangs (hung) a sign with the inscription “Room of Possibilities.” That’s exactly how it feels when you work with France. That’s why I would like to continue to join forces with her in challenging and important projects.”

“In our collaboration, I find France’s attitude towards people and society particularly valuable and important.
The essential “tools” in our work with people (I certainly include myself in this) are ourselves, with our sensitivity, our ability to connect, and our ability to question ourselves. That is certainly one of her great strengths!”

“For several years, France Barbot has been supporting our teams in the daycare centers in various formats. Whether in supervision, personal coaching, or workshops during our concept days – her expertise and commitment have become indispensable for us.
Ms. Barbot always manages to communicate with our specialists and management teams in a very empathetic and at the same time solution-oriented way. Her repertoire of methods is as diverse as her approach – always creative as well as pragmatic, along the real conditions. She uses targeted tools that promote group processes and strengthen the teams in their further development. Particularly noteworthy is her ability to grasp the respective situation in the team and to respond precisely to the needs of the group.
Another important aspect of her work is the specific support of our management teams. Here, France Barbot asks targeted, differentiated questions about the leadership and support of multicultural and multidisciplinary teams. In doing so, she always treats the different perspectives with respect and appreciation and manages, in her humorous and lively-unconventional way, to show both team members and managers new options for action. Her expertise in the field of diversity and interculturality broadens the perspectives and scopes of action of our employees and contributes significantly to promoting an inclusive, respectful working environment.
Ms. Barbot builds bridges between different points of view and promotes a benevolent, open, constructive cooperation. Her work improves not only the quality of teamwork but also the ability of all participants to reflect on themselves in the face of ever-new challenges.
We look forward to the exchange with France Barbot every time, which is both enriching and inspiring. Her contribution is a valuable support for us that we would not want to miss. We thank Ms. Barbot sincerely for her continuous, professional support and the positive development she brings to our teams.”
