Praise for Full Voice: "I've worked side by side with Barbara for many years and witnessed the brilliance of her talents--her strong, soaring voice that she so skillfully uses to encourage others to find their voices. I'm so grateful she's written this book so that many more people may discover the gift of giving voice." --Margaret Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science and Perseverance and coauthor of Walk Out Walk On "The Tibetans speak of body, mind, and voice, rather than body, mind, and spirit. This book offers wise guidance for opening our voices--and spirits--to their full expression." --Eric Utne, founder, Utne Reader "A practical and inspirational guide to how we can more fully bring our voice into the world.
