Some Praise for Abigail:

"Abigail Barnes and her 888 formula gave me one of the biggest 'ah-ha' moments that I have had in recent years. As an event producer and owner of a speaker bureau, that doesn't happen very often, but Abigail's story connected and resonated, not just with me but with every audience we put her in front of. I have worked with Abigail since 2020 on various events that we have run and we always get high scores for her in our feedback. Abigail is always an absolute pleasure to work with, is popular with our audiences and her messaging is quite literally life-changing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her." Lucy Brazier OBE

"Abigail did a tremendous job in her presentation for our annual online training, 'Enlighten.' In it, she delivered high-quality material that was devoid of fluff and essential to educating administrative professionals about tools for better time management. The 888 Formula she expanded on was explained simply and expertly, allowing attendees to take away a wealth of practical knowledge. We received incredible feedback on her presentation on how much her session resonated with attendees. If you're thinking about having her speak at your company, do yourself a favor and do it!"
