And that’s just what happened when Barbara McAfee melded her musical talent with her career expertise. Twelve years of experience in organizational change brings substance and relevance to her keynotes. Her powerful voice and musical talents make her messages more accessible. Barbara is a Twin Cities-based singer/songwriter whose songs are flavored with jazz, blues, gospel, and Celtic influences. What they have in common is her clear-eyed reflections on the human experience, exquisite lyrics, sassy wit, and piano-infused arrangements. When Barbara serves them up in her clear, strong voice, they go straight to the heart. She got her start as a jazz singer in nightclubs in the mid-80s, then started writing her own songs during her father’s final illness in 1991. Through a long series of self-produced concerts, Barbara discovered her own voice, both as a singer and a songwriter. Blending her interest in organizational and individual transformation, Barbara has brought her music to such clients as Best Buy, The Coca-Cola Company, the YMCA, Wells Fargo as well as to numerous wellness events, colleges, and private functions. She is the songstress for Meg Wheatley’s Women’s Leadership Revival Tour. A vibrant alternative to “just another speech,” Barbara’s musical keynotes deliver messages centering around empowerment, teamwork, leadership and wellness. Her sassy humor, authentic style and presence, create synergy wherever she goes. She has produced 5 CDs as an independent producer working with the finest musicians in the Twin Cities.
