Barbara Powell

Barbara Powell is an ultrarunner and holistic performance coach based out of Minneapolis, MN. Growing up as a middle child of twelve in Western Massachusetts without TV or internet, Barbara naturally honed her creativity -- and love of nature -- alongside her siblings. After an early career in brand marketing and sales in running footwear, she discovered her desire to directly benefit the lives of others. Barbara went on to earn her master's degree from the University of Minnesota's Center for Spirituality and Healing in Integrative Health and Wellbeing Coaching and now works directly with teams and leaders. Finding Leadville is her first book, an ultramarathon of its own to complete.
