Unlimited, a National Training Company and the founder of Nurturing Yourself Seminars, an organization focused on the empowerment of women and girls.
She has been described as "inspirational, creative, passionate, caring, encouraging and energetic". She has been married over 30 years to her wonderful husband Ken, and is the mother of one son, Barry and grandmother of Moniqua. For the past 16 years she has worked as a national training consultant with her husband, inspiring groups at state and national conferences; schools; colleges; universities; health care organizations; child welfare organizations; city, county, state and federal governments; businesses; and community groups.
In 1980 she started her own financial management business, where she worked as a consultant with individuals and businesses. In 1989 the U.S. Small Business Administration recognized her as one of the top Ten Women Entrepreneurs in the country. Their quote about her said: "We salute the enterprising spirit of Barbie Reed, whose outstanding determination, resourcefulness and creativity have contributed to her entrepreneurial success and applaud her exceptional determination in surmounting life's challenges to achieve success. Your success story would be inspirational to other women!"
Barbie exclaims that it takes faith, leadership and going after a cause that is bigger than yourself. It is also being willing to "step out" in spite of fear, rejection, and those who say it can't be done. She has chosen to be a "part of the solution" with her unique and innovative programs. This is One Dynamic Woman... Who Believes in Making Things Happen!
