About the Author
Barb Palmer has spent more than three decades on the frontlines of the employment world—helping organizations hire, develop, and restore people at every stage of their careers. Her background spans Fortune 50 staffing, workforce education, university recruiting, change and transition consulting, and global ministry coaching. She has served as a vocational educator, recruiter, hiring manager, employment director, international staffing director, outplacement counselor, and organization development consultant, giving her a comprehensive, 360- degree understanding of how people grow, work, and thrive. Barb brings a rare blend of professional expertise and Kingdom insight. She knows firsthand what it means to lose a job without warning, live without financial safety nets, and walk through seasons where God’s provision was the only provision. Those experiences became the foundation of her life’s message: when God is your Employer, you are never unemployed—you are being reassigned, rebuilt, and re-launched into greater purpose. Today Barb equips believers to approach work, calling, leadership, and career transitions with a Kingdom mindset. She mentors pastors, executives, church leadership teams, and marketplace professionals, helping them align their work with God’s purposes and navigate the marketplace as citizens of the Kingdom of God. Her teaching restores dignity, strengthens identity, and brings clarity to people who long to hear God’s voice in the workplace. Whether speaking at conferences, leading retreats, coaching senior pastors, or walking with job seekers through the hardest seasons of their lives, Barb’s message remains consistent: You work for God, your victory is certain.
