WELCOME |

Welcome to my official website! It's really great to have
you here.
This is a very personal reflection of who I am, so
feel free to explore and find out more about me. You can
read my blog here
and I hope you'll join our
Dreamers Network
online community. I'm also on
Facebook and
Twitter/@barbaraniven.
Check out my new SHOW
BUSINESS 101 Performance Coaching blog site for lots of tips &
updates on my workshops & coaching. I can teach you easy,
professional acting skills & secrets you can use in your own
pitches, presentations, videos & TV/radio interviews! I can also
direct & coach you to create videos for your website or YouTube.
Remember, every moment you have a choice...to go towards
your dream or away from it. You have to
ACT
as if!
it's already happening until it is! That's more
important than ever in this economic climate. Please don't settle for less than
wonderful in your life. And don't give up five minutes before
the miracle!
Thank you to Kathy at Shadoeworks®
for her incredible vision creating this website and all my
entertainment imaging. We have a lot of things in the works to
empower you and your dreams.

Speaking News:
I hope you got to hear my
Public Speaking Masters teleclass series!
I was honored to be one of five renowned coaches who shared
public speaking & presentation secrets in this five-week
series of calls. If you missed it, it will be available soon
to order as mp3s and transcripts.
I love these ladies on the left.
YES! This shot was
taken recently when I spoke at the iLearningGlobal Regional
Conference in Orlando. Thank you ladies for the inspiration!
Here's to success & an amazing attitude!
This photo of me hugging the young lady on the left was taken on my recent
Michigan
Speaking Tour, where I spoke to over 2,000 students
about my battle with Bulimia & Eating Disorders. I call this
my Toilet Tour :)
because I always have a
white toilet on stage with me as I purge my secrets, so that
others will get help. We've had amazing success stories! Let
me know if you want me to speak to your group!
Acting News:
Summer's
Blood is now called Summer's Moon
& it's out on DVD Nov. 10th. It's an indie psychological
horror film and I play a part unlike anything I've done
before - a gritty, alcoholic, demented mother. (We actors
love this stuff!) We are getting some great buzz on it so
far. Ashley Greene (with me on the left) is also in it -
she's currently starring in "Twilight" and the
sequel. She is a doll too. Click
here for the trailer. (warning: it's violent)
I just finished shooting
Accused at
Seventeen with Cynthia Gibb, soon to be on
Lifetime. It's a wonderful
thriller, and I get to play a bad girl this time. I call my
character an "Orange County Housewife" wannabe. A delicious
Bitch. :)
