Like many career focused moms, Barbara Bamba is no stranger to stepping-out. Her first extended leave from the workforce was for an 8-month period to recover from an episode of heart failure, due to post-partum complications after the birth of her second son.
Not realizing she had "committed career suicide" by extending her leave beyond the 12 weeks alloted under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Barbara, like many re-launchers faced an uphill re-entry battle. She found herself re-entering at a lower lever and feeling nearly invisible in the organization she had previously contributed so much.
Although, she had helped over 5,000 job seekers enter the workforce in her previous role as a Senior Workforce Development Trainer at Temple University -- Barbara felt helpless in her own situation to re-engage successfully. She now had to figure a way to resurrect her own dying career.
Feeling both stunted and stigmatized, Barbara opted-out a second time... 2 years later ...and 9-months pregnant with her third child. But, this time she would leave with a plan -- 'a plan NOT to return', but to continue growing her young family and to achieve work-life balance on her own terms.
Barbara had always dreamed of speaking professionally. So in 2004, after the birth of her fourth child, she decided to pursue her passion and launched the Philadelphia Speakers Bureau. The bureau would allow her to do 3 things:
1) work from home
2) spend more quality time with her young family and
3) position herself in the multi-billion dollar self-help industry to learn first-hand from world renouned speakers, leading authorities and other experts.
Barbara had already tasted entrepreneurial success as a young adult when she opened her own specialty boutique and image consulting firm in an upscale community in Society Hill, Philadelphia at the age of 19. She had also launched a popular charm and etiquette program for tween and teen girls in her local community that earned her third party media endorsements, a feature story in The Philadelphia Tribune and several radio interviews.
With a solid plan now in place and nothing standing in her way, Barbara was well on her way to achieving the work-life balance and quality of life she so desparately desired.
But just then she hit an emotional brick-wall when her husband a native West African experienced an unexpected bout of depression which led to his decision to marry a second wife 'back-home' subjecting her to a polygamous marriage arrangement... or a DIVORCE!
