ABOUT ME
Welcome to my website!
My name is Roxanne Bartel, but it’s true that most people call me “Rox”! As my friend, the professional bio writer, says in the opening line of my speaker bio, I do have pinch-able cheeks, a seemingly uncontrollable wink and a hearty laugh. For 30+ years of my career and 50+ years of my life these qualities have gotten me into trouble AND allowed me to playfully “stir things up” in every role I’ve had, from working at a fast food restaurant as a teenager, to being a sales manager, a trainer, an entrepreneur, and a performance consultant but, at no time more, than when I was a President/CEO!
I’m back to being an entrepreneur – this time it’s really more of a booster – I gave myself the title of Chief Booster & Holder of Space (CBHS). Before I knew how I would deliver on the promise of this title, I started working on a title for my practice. Why? Well it was like working on my mission statement.
I wanted to be inspired by something more than my name! I thought about the Steven Covey book about the habits of successful people.
Early in my career I worked in finance and I found Covey’s metaphor of the bank account useful in guiding me early in my career and leadership journey. You can’t take out, what you haven’t put in. That helped me land on the word Bank. Then I had to ask myself what I wanted my currency to be. One day in Starbucks it hit me, I want my work and my time to make an impact. So it became clear that ImpactBank was my brand! More about the dove amidst the boxes another time!
It has been harder than I expected. Not the work. I love every one of my clients. The part I’ve found hard is building a focus; a meaningful purpose to work toward. AND this year 2018, it became crystal clear. My website now reveals the vision and my story better than ever. Listen to a bit of it in my own voice by clicking the audio recorder under my picture and then go over to the service pages for My BIG WHY story.

Belonging is Foundational
Belonging motivates everything we do. To be clear, the motivator is our evolutionary need or drive to belong. Knowing we're all driven by a deeply embedded need to belong, doing the work and consciously putting the effort into challenging our own reactions to what...
Molding What’s in the Mirror
A molder is one who breaks ground and pushes back on the system. They are willing to look a things differently from those around them and they're quick to act on what's right even when there's a price to pay. A mirror, on the other hand, is one who brings people and...
