“Thanks so much! I’m just now listening to your recordings on organizing your presentation and talking points while I’m getting ready for school. It is a lifesaver. I’ll be giving my first presentation without PowerPoint next week. I never use PPT to read off of, or to have a bunch of text, but really just a couple of key words to prompt my memory for main points. The timing of receiving your new materials is perfect. I’m listening to it for the second time.” drpattymalone.com

“My fear of speaking in front of a camera was limiting my potential. Barbara is the best in her field. A true professional, she knows her business start-to-finish in every aspect of production, from performance to finished product. She directs, guides and coaches you to hone your message and performance. She made the process so easy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to launch their career to new heights and possibilities. Barbara’s number one gift is that she can bring out yours!”

“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?”
Then I trained on-camera with Barbara Niven. 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.”
John McLelland, CEO

“Build your business! You need video to survive today and get your message out among the masses. Barbara Niven is truly the best there is. I shot six amazing videos with her to put on my website and the internet, and my business increased 35% in four months! Barbara knows how to make you look good, how to make you sound good and best of all she knows how to put it all together and get you to just be you.
Here was my experience on Shoot Day: I was ready to bolt from the chair for the first 45 minutes. It was painful, I didn’t think I could do this. I’m not a speaker, I’m not an actress – this is NOT my talent. I thought “Oh God, please let me get through this & maybe get one good clip.” And then Barbara took the camera aside, put the lights aside, made me laugh and said “Look into my face and talk to me as if you were just telling me about you and your message.” She held my hand and I spoke to her. She put the camera back on, adjusted the lights, the angles, the camera (every which way to make sure I looked like a star on camera — this was amazing how much time she took to make sure the light hit my face just right and if I moved she’d start over it had to be perfect by her standards which are on a scale of 1-10 a 20!) and when it was just right she said “Now laugh, be you and talk.” Then something clicked.
I don’t know what it was or how she did it but she brought me out. It made all the lights and the cameras disappear for that brief moment and MAGIC came out and I had this amazing video that just spoke from my heart, exactly what I wanted to reach the people who need me. Before I knew it I had 6 amazing clips, they were great all perfect.”

“Barbara Niven is one of the most supportive people I have ever met.
I needed a media crash course before doing a shoot for a reality tv show and Barbara coached me through it so that I truly showed up as the star. In addition, I love how she personally has helped me and so many professionals I know step into their power on film.
She has such a gift for helping people shine!”
Suzanne Strisower, Coach, Speaker, Author & Upcoming Reality TV Star
“Barbara Niven helps restore confidence. When you first walk into her studio, you may not know what to expect. The first thing that greets you is the most luscious, sincere and safest hug you have ever felt–possibly in your whole life! Barbara is a beautiful, warm and heartfelt woman, who gives with her soul and merely for the love of doing so. She is even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside, if you can believe it. That in itself is a virtue, which can change the life of a business person or a new actor (her typical clients), or the lives of domestic violence survivors like the few who met with her that day. She removed all the blocks they were experiencing in sharing personal stories with ease and grace, a talent not many people possess. All left the workshop feeling more confident and excited about sharing their testimonies at the next Safe Passage event.”
Trish Steele, Founder of Safe Passage (Helping Victims of Domestic Violence)
“Thanks to Barbara’s extraordinary training, I now speak internationally. Her media training has given me the skills to attract press to my business on a regular basis.

Denise Turner, Business Consultant & Speaker
“You are truly a gifted artist.
I have seen people transform before my eyes with your guidance and coaching. Truly gifted, and the one of the most giving people I know. I will continue to send all my clients to you for videos & media training.”
Allen Miller, Publicist & Media Strategist
“My show was exhilarating, exhausting, joyous, scary (yeah yeah, I got a little stage fright – but I thought of what you said: every day do something that scares you!) So I took a deep breath and thought “I can SO do this!” I’m sure the Facebook pics and videos will be sprouting soon. If you don’t mind, I’d like to post one on your page, with a brief note describing how I went from nowhere to somewhere, assisted of course by your guiding principles. ”
Phyllis Charney, Actress, Writer
“I was extremely shy and it was crippling my life. I finally did something about it. Barbara mentored me and helped me find my voice! It is very surreal to me as it only took a few weeks of coaching. I was so anxious and nervous, but the JUMP technique turned my worries into fuel that empowered me to soar like a butterfly! She unlocked my purpose and true passion in life! What a gift! I highly recommend her and the Unleash Your Star Power Home Study Course! THANK YOU Barbara for bringing out the best in me! You are worth Infinity and Beyond and much, much more!”

“I just have to report to you that I have been having some time conflicts interfering with my softball playing. However, today I played my first game since seeing you Barbara. I applied some of the techniques you talked about that help people perform to their potential.
We played against a team that constantly beats us by a large margin. I had my best hitting game in years and played flawlessly in the field and we knocked them out of the playoffs. Final score- our team-23, their team 9. David slew Goliath and even though it is a team sport and my teammates played well, I definitely played a large part in the success. I was totally in the moment, relaxed, aggressive, and had a great time.
The skills you teach Barbara, clearly can extend beyond in front of the camera. Not only did you help me do well in front of the camera, but you helped me with a glove or bat in my hand.”

“Barbara, your instruction and feedback met me exactly where I was before as a speaker (hiding behind my boring Power Point presentation) to being comfortable and authentic with my audience, trusting that the right words and presence will come forth to make it a rich and meaningful experience for them. And now I can have fun, too!”
