Barbara Black-Successfull Dean

Dean Barbara Black of the Columbia University School of Law, who envision herself to be dean one day. As a young woman, she broke into a predominantly male field and successfully obtained her law degree from Columbia. The she decided to put her career goal on hold while she created another goal-developing family. Nine years later, she was ready again to go after her first career goal, so she enrolled in a graduate program at Yale, and developed the teaching, researching, and writing skills that led her to “job that she had always wanted.” She had expanded her belief system-she had changed her approach and had combined both goals and is now dean of one of the most prestigious law schools in America. She broke the mold and prove that success could be created on all levels simultaneously.

She followed Ultimate Success Formula. Knowing what she wanted, she tried something, and if it didn’t work, she kept changing-changing until now she learned how to balance her life. In addition to heading an important law school, she’s a mother and a family woman as well.
