Barry Laub is an enthusiastic advocate of choice and possibilities. As a child he began analyzing human behavior, looking at what motivates people to make the choices and take the actions they do. He evolved into a “social radical”; an open thinker perceptive to all sides of an issue. Direct questioning, intuitive insight and solid ethics guide his choices.
Barry went into education to make a difference—and he did—by becoming a leader of special education. He then went into finance and after reaching his peak proficiency, began training financial planners in business and personal success strategies. Barry’s next business venture broke more new ground; designing employee benefits for government contractors. In just 5 years the company grew from an entrepreneurial venture to a successful firm with 23 employees.
An advocate of continual learning, growth and development, Barry’s expertise runs the gamut of education; finance, business development, government associations, benefits law, interpersonal relationships, personal growth, health and wellness. He also hosted a popular ‘self help’ radio talk show called “Whose Life Are you Living?” Today Barry’s primary focus is on making a positive impact in the business world by; identifying opportunities and exposing possibilities that have never before been considered; creating innovative strategies that get organizations on track with their missions and visions; taking businesses beyond success.
