Keynote Topic & Workshops:

"Professional Acting Skills for Oscar-Level Presentations" (Easy acting skills you can use in your next pitch, presentation or video!)

Our next 3-Day Weekend Workshop will be November 20, 21 & 22 Click here for details about what's included! 

I am a Performance Coach, and I call this Show Business 101 for speakers because every presentation is a Performance!  But few speakers really think of it that way.

Actors know tricks to handle nerves & turn them into fuel, vocal techniques, how to get in the right emotional place before you say your first word, how to create characters to tell the story, tips to produce the event, set the stage, and fully use your instrument (yourself) to be fully present and “in the moment”. These are simple things that will make all the difference in your work too.

This is for speakers, entrepreneurs, authors, executives, sales people, writers, hosts, actors…anyone who wants to polish performance, presentation and communication skills, no matter what field you are in!

In today's world, you need to be able to sell yourself and your message like a pro. A great pitch can make you money! That's why you should work on your skills before you get caught unprepared. Practice interview techniques and have your elevator pitch ready to deliver. Learn how to excel in any media situation: public speaking, videos, one-on-one meetings, TV & radio interviews & more!

I’ve spent years in acting class, learning how to take my audiences on the journey with me. As a Speaker, those acting techniques have made a huge difference in my presentations. And now, I’m passing those acting secrets on to you.

You’ll go from merely giving good presentations…to delivering Oscar-level performances that change people’s lives!

Testimonial from a CEO
"We now live in a world where video is commonplace. From video email and YouTube to individual and corporate presentations. If you are like me, the first time I viewed my own video performance I was horrified. “Can I really be that bad?” I even said to myself, “I need help.” Then I was introduced to Barbara Niven. An appointment was made to do some camera training and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was fun and comfortable. I enjoyed every step of the learning process. Barbara made the process enjoyable because she really cares about you. I find myself practicing the skills she taught nearly every day because they also transfer over to public speaking, presenting, and general communication.  Thank you Barbara!"
