Moira Barnes is a seasoned sales trainer and the driving force behind Moira Barnes Sales Consultancy and Training. With 30 years’ experience from starting in a Liverpool department store at 16 to navigating media, motors, hospitality, and beauty, Moira has now embarked on her own entrepreneurial journey helping others to ‘sell with heart’.
Moira began another journey during lockdown when she started noticing her neurodiverse behaviour in both her professional and personal life, which led to a diagnosis of ADHD and Dyscalculic (dyslexia with numbers).
