Barbara Sher
Barbara Sher (14 August 1935 – 10 May 2020
In 1976 she launched Success Teams.[3] Trained leaders recruit groups of about 5 or 6 people and lead them through her 8-week workshop for "How to get what you really want, even if you have no goals, no character, and you're often in a lousy mood." Members identify and pursue their wishes in a framework of mutual encouragement, support, ideas for overcoming obstacles, introductions to helpful contacts, and accountability for continued effort. [4][5]
Other projects
She had a year-long program for writers and speakers called How To Write Your Own Success Story.[6] She also ran websites devoted to her books, programs, and audio materials. During spring and fall of the last years of her life, she lived at her second home in a small village in Central Turkey, where she taught e-commerce to village weavers.[2] In October 2015 she gave a presentation at the TEDx Prague Isolation is the dream-killer, not your attitude.[7]
