🌻 Individual coaching
Thank you for this process, it has superseded my dental education as one of the most important and transformative investments in myself, and truly paved a way for me to be of effective service to others. I feel like I finally know who I am, delved into my identity in ways I never thought I would, I have “become”, and I am so grateful! No stopping me now – I have designed my life, I know who I am, time to do what I was put on this earth to do, LET’S GET IT DONE!!! I have such clarity of purpose, the fog has lifted. Thank you!!!

I had originally approached Barbara about 6 years ago regarding some high performance life coaching. The work and courses we did were exactly what I was needing at the time, but it was the patience, energy and kindness that Barbara had that led me down new paths of self exploration and reflection, which ultimately had the most impact on my life. Every time I got a bit stuck whether it be spiritually, professionally or personally, Barbara always managed to guide me down the path and give me the tools that I needed to clear the way and get me back on track. She is an exceptional coach, mentor and human. Reg, Business Manager and Entrepreneur.
I was going through life without having any feelings of not having any kind of bearing on my own life. I was at a point where I felt I was living life without taking note of myself and the environment I live in. I was always feeling unhappy. Feeling like my life is useless and having no direction whatsoever. The reason I decided to take life coaching was because I was tired of hearing the same voice in my head. I wanted to share my thoughts and receive positive direction.
I picked Barbara because she is such a warm and inviting person and the biggest part being how she gave no judgment at all. She did not make me feel pressured even with the very difficult questions. I was extremely nervous and worried about my very first session. But after receiving her warm greeting I began to relax. As time progressed I began to look forward to our sessions. The sessions were very inspirational and enlightening. I found myself sitting there and saying Wow!!! She is amazing. Having her share some of her life experiences played a big part in helping me accept myself and feel good. My big takeaway is that it’s totally important to love myself and not feel bad about it. I have also learned how to plan ahead in a positive way and be more open to social activities. I would recommend Barbara to anyone and everyone. She is an amazing soul. You will never regret it.

🌻 NATIONAL RADIO COACHING
Queen, You planted seeds, watered some and helped me prune a lot of branches that were not bearing any fruit. All of the stuff you taught us on our show is literally playing out now I’ve defined, designed and still tweaking and now displaying the life I’ve always imagined. Even as I rework my business vision and the core team I’m slowly recruiting to build towards higher level leadership. I have razor sharp clarity of where I am now and how I need to get to where I want and most importantly why.
LISTEN!!! You’re my human rescue package because when you came into my life I had come from THE most depressed episode of my life and I was winging my way through life knowing yes, I could be a leader one day but too tired mentally, emotionally and spiritually to even think it all through. Then there’s all the nuggets you give me on anthropology, spirituality and consciousness. All of these things you share are so pertinent to what I need to know and immerse myself into over the next couple of years so I can lead better, and because of my larger than life personality, I’ll use my platforms and influence to impact and influence the minds of my peers and those who are inspired by my story! In a nutshell, this is how you helped me. Queen Rutendo Mutsamwira: Radio & TV Producer and Presenter, Author and Speaker
🌻 ORGANIZATIONAL COACHING
Gillian Reppoh Mpofu: HR Business Partner at First Mutual Holdings: A GREAT COACH!!! Determined to see results, highly organised, and very assertive. Barbra was determined to see me transform to be the Leader I am today.
Her focus was on transforming the whole of me from the way I looked at myself, the way I dressed, the way I walked, the language I used and even the way I relate to others. She helped me understand my emotions and of those around me, and to apply intelligence to that emotional knowledge.
She is firm on emphasizing that ” You can only be a BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF and noone else.” When I look back, I cannot help being proud of myself and the leader I am transforming to be.
She imprinted on me that I should not compare myself with anyone but I should focus on the things I see and use them for my growth and then walk MY JOURNEY. I can only compare myself with my leader version of yesterday and aim for what I want to achieve for today and tomorrow.
I used to struggle with self-validation until she made me realize that I should not seek self-validation from people but from self. I used to struggle with FEAR until she made me realize that the word only meant False Evidence Appearing Real and I had risen above it to achieve.
Thank you for helping me tap into my boldness and confidence. Now I am not afraid of anyone (I realized that they are only hierarchies in the organization) , I speak my mind. She pushed hard for me to realize my goals.
The coaching environment allowed me to be vulnerable, search and reflect on my personal & professional life which then helped in shaping the way we related. Thank you Barbra for going beyond and being resourceful with lots of practical information critical for my growth in this Leadership Journey. I highly recommend your services to all especially those who have the “I CAN’T” mentality, because I KNOW that with Barbara, THEY CAN & THEY WILL for it’s all about the mindset and the right Coach.
Farai Waya, CISA, CISM, Team Leader IT Audit at First Mutual Holdings Limited: “Barbara is an amazing professional, who helps you to realise your full potential through her thought provoking yet inspiring and interactive sessions.
Her unique approach provides a convenient platform for enhancing self awareness and emotional intelligence, both at a professional and person level. She has helped me as a leader to reflect how I impact others for the greater good, whilst realising my vision of making the world a better place. I would not hesitate to recommend her for those looking for pragmatic mind coach, as she will always challenge the paradigm”
Tsitsi Grace Chiwanza, Departmental Leader: My takeaway is self leadership, dressing as an executive, being a director of my own life, having a vision, mission and strategy of my own self, setting out target dates, being an effective leader by practicing speed leadership and getting feedback from the team; and lastly it has helped me to address issues of team members…I am excited about having a happy team and goals being achieved within specified times…Business Goals and targets will be met; Strategy will be followed and disseminated; Effective leadership leads to high profits, more customers, more revenue.
Iris Ndumo: Barbara is a Mindset and High Performance Coach . Very passionate and effective coach. I would say she is amazing and helps you realize your purpose, enhance your self awareness and emotional intelligence both at a professional and personal level. I never used to think coaching was this effective. I can recommend her to any one at any time. Thank you Barbara you made me realize the person that I am today.
Noel Mudukuti: The session we had with Barbara made me realize that life without plan and purpose is not life at all. I also had the chance to drill down within me to find my purpose on earth and the reason why I must rise to be the leader I was created to be… In this session Barbara was articulate and very clear. She is a wonderful transformational speaker who is eager to elevate every leader’s thinking.
🌻 SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTs
I engaged with Barbara Mutedzi recently as a Speaker to one of our Moms and Money conferences. During the time leading up to the event, Barbara was extremely professional and responded to communication in a timely manner. During rehearsals and on the day, she showed up on time and exceeded expectations. Barbara was mandated to educate and inspire our Moms on high performance and help them understand how the brain can be engineered to produce such an outcome. Her talk was valuable and left our Moms motivated, encouraged and ready to rave into high performers as evidenced by the feedback we received. Personally, I too implemented the material and content she shared the month immediately after our event, and my performance outcomes were the best that year.
I would definitely recommend Barbara as an expert in her field of high performance coaching. She delivers with a lot of energy and leaves your audience convinced that they too can achieve greatness. Barbara is a must have speaker for any conference that wants to have a 5 star rating! Thank you so much Barbara for creating a memorable experience for our Moms. You are exceptionally talented at what you do. Tsungai Masendeke CPF – Certified Financial Planner
🌻 WORKSHOPS & RETREATS
“I have had the awesome and blessed opportunity of working with Barbara on various levels. I have had the opportunity to work with her as lead facilitator at a goal setting coaching event and I have seen how working with groups of people, she works to challenge people’s current mindsets in relation to where they want to be in their lives.
She has an extraordinary way of relating, encouraging and making it possible for people to see the talent they have within themselves. With so much ease, she makes it possible for people to harness that talent and move forward with it toward the life they want to lead”. Cynthia Chirinda, Communications, Human Capital & Organizational Development Consultant
Very grateful to you Barbs for your investment into my personal life and that of Nduna Girls. On a personal note, I find your questions and honesty refreshing and challenging. You do not impose but only guide the thought and self discovery process and I can not fully express my gratitude for you being a voice that reminds me that I am enough and I am important. As such I need to pause and reflect in order to redirect my life – something I haven’t always done often, as well as to dream and come up with the actual steps to get to where I seek to be.
I appreciate the work you have done with Nduna Girls and our grant beneficiaries, interns and volunteers; who range from 16 – 25 with all their various careers and aspirations. Sometimes its hard to steer so many bubbling and yet diverse groups of young people with their various characters and responses, but you have done so well and had them talking about stuff and reaching out to you for more support. Thank you Barbs. Looking for many more years of coaching and collaboration! Blessings and love always Chenai Tsorayi
Working with Barbara to engage young women in the Elegant Grind network presented an opportunity to open up as young women and break fears of collaborating. The information she presented enabled me to do a personal audit and I discovered my strengths and hidden talents. Young Women in Elegant Grind network have a changed mindset too on how to build strategic partnerships. The response rate to the discussions she held was quite high as they were intriguing!

Barbara has played a very pivotal role in our training sessions under the Youth Leaders league (Y2L) training we are currently running in Zimbabwe. As Youth Leaders League (Y2L) Zimbabwe our aim is to create a critical mass of young transformers on the continent of Africa through a 12 lesson leadership and development curriculum…I have to admit that we got more than we expected. Barbara went above and beyond as the training she provided to the students played a pivotal role in bringing a mind-set change to them.
Barbara was able to relate to them in a way that made all the students very comfortable to share their views on what they thought about the topic, which at that time was The Sexual Life of a Leader, and also what they wanted to know. She made the class very simple and was very authentic with the students which made it very easy for them to be comfortable with her. The students loved her so much that they wanted more time with her after the class was over...Barbara has been instrumental as a mentor to all the ladies that are in our network as she has provided advice and provided a platform for discussion for such topics as finances, collaboration, love, adopting good habits etc. Her expert advice and knowledge has really helped the young women in our network to understand the importance of collaboration especially in our Zimbabwean economy right now.
Her knowledge has also helped the young women to also look into foreign investments like bitcoins. As this is virtual mentorship I am very happy with the fact that Barbara is always available when the ladies need clarification and also have questions and also the fact that she regularly posts topics which constantly ignite discussions. Overall, Barbara is very willing to share her experiences and how she got to where she is now which makes it very easy to relate to her and coupled with her vast experience, knowledge and passion to see a holistic person this I believe is helping and will really help her assist a lot of people to transform their minds hence their lives. We definitely know our class at Y2L and the network of young women is being transformed. Rumbidzayi Muchenje.
🌻RESEARCH
I was looking for a researcher who could set up and conduct a rigorous investigation of research related to African American women’s inner health and well-being. Barbara Mutedzi proved to be the right choice. Her research and reports were meticulously thorough and detailed, utilizing graphs and excel sheets that were easy to read and understand. As a collaborator, her professionalism was A+. Her knowledge of my subject delivered nuanced and layered insight on the subject matter and helped to quantitatively illustrate the efficacy of my well-being initiative. Also, her disposition felt rooted in a strong character. I would work with her again and highly recommend her. Tina Lifford
