Background

About Gary Barrett

I am a small business consultant, providing clients with leadership training, accounting management, strategic market analysis, business planning, and creative problem solving.In addition to consulting work, I strive to be an innovative teacher who works hard to understand how adults learn (this usually involves asking good questions and being observant in the classroom). I use a combination of instructional methods, utilizing actual industry exercises and modeling; and encouraging critical thinking that transitions students from classroom learning to performing excellence in their daily lives and work. Sometimes this doesn't become evident until they leave my classroom and try the learning in their own work settings.All my life, from age 16 till now, I have been a prolific entrepreneur, involved in start-up companies, management and financial operations for Barrett Corporation, Barrett Schools, Inc, Broker’s Training Schools, Engineered Security Products, and GB Ranch. Because of my experience, I feel competent and comfortable in teaching entrepreneurship in the classroom.
