Atlantic Business Magazine
"Passionately positive and intensely engaging, Barb Stegemann is a motivational tour de force. Since her return to Atlantic Canada fresh from numerous economic and social development triumphs in British Columbia, I have been fascinated by the way she has entranced, enthralled and encouraged her fellow citizens to rediscover their inner spark and embark on a quest for excellence. This book is much like Barb herself—it serves as a powerful touchstone that gently yet irrevocably forces you to look inward. And with that introspection, comes an unavoidable awareness that each of us is a potential agent of change."

The Block Magazine
"Named by BC Business Magazine as one of the province’s life shifters, Barb Stegemann would put the reinvention of matriarch Madonna to shame. Local businesswoman, motivational speaker, columnist, and author of The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen: A woman’s guide to living & leading in an illogical world, Barb is a multi-achiever whose positive outlook, inspired by stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius, is simple: Everyone and everything is brought to you for a reason. Either to teach you or to bear."

The News
"More than 30 [women] attended a school for Women in Municipal Government Saturday at the Nova Scotia Community College in Stellarton. Many of the attendees mentioned that municipal politics is an excellent place for female candidates due to high reported involvement in community-based activities.
Barb Stegemann, author of the book The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen, was on hand to speak with the group. Her book is designed to empower women to go into business and government."

SWEET CHARITY
"Every time Barb Stegemann sells a copy of her self-help book at a charity event,
she donates 40% of the revenue. And even though the Bedford, Nova Scotia, communications
specialist paid $10,000 last March to self-publish The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen,
she has already recouped her investment, no doubt helped by the good word-of-mouth her
community involvement has spawned. Not only that, but because it only cost Stegemann $1.60 per copy
to publish her book, she earns a very healthy margin off its $24.99 price even as she raises money
for community centres and other local causes. In fact, the book sales have been lucrative enough that,
a month ago, Stegemann decided to live off them full-time."

Long live the citizen, not the consumer, in 2009
"MANY in business and media talk of a wanting a crystal ball for 2009.
I believe that those who can focus on the meaning of their existence rather
than worrying about existing will thrive. And major futurists are echoing this philosophy. "
