Barry Moniak

Raised in Orange County, CA, Barry experienced being the wrong shade of white. His parents grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and had no idea they were planting roots in the heart of the John Birch Society, an extremely anti-Semitic group. At 3 years old, Barry remembers the Star of David being burnt on their front lawn in hopes of scaring the Jews away.

Barry’s long term relationship with Martial Arts, Yoga, Philosophy, and Ski Instruction have shaped his capacity for understanding fear, peoples learning styles, and developing a language for effective communication and interaction.

Diversity became Barry’s cornerstone for three decades of work with people in business to better understand, communicate and function more cohesively and productively. Whether it is just two people, or hundreds working together, Barry’s focus is always on team effectiveness.

Barry’s entrepreneurial spirit includes owning and operating; a health foods store, 3 construction companies, a national business valuation and listing company, and most recently a speaking and consulting firm.
