Name: Nicole Barbour
Position: Operations Manager

Betty White said it best in the movie The Proposal, “shall we call you Margaret or Satan’s Mistress?”…in Nicole’s case, calling her Margaret would be just plain weird. 

The best way to describe Nicole is to literally compare her to Wonder Woman –for example:

Wonder Woman has been described as:

  • An athlete
  • Physically strong (one of the strongest superheroes, even stronger than Hercules)
  • Possessing great stamina, speed and agility

In her previous career in the fitness industry, Nicole was the gold standard for physical fitness.  Her fitness classes were highly attended (mostly by men), trying their best to keep up with her (and usually failing miserably).

Wonder Woman is also described as:

  • Having a natural rapport with animals
  • A strategist, possessing wisdom and intelligence
  • Beautiful and having a loving heart

Nicole has two highly energetic Huskies who she seems to tame with ease and is a natural lover of all animals. 

She has a critical mind with a great ability to analyze situations and develop and implement strategies to achieve a desired outcome. 

Her outer beauty is only matched by her inner beauty and desire to help others – she puts the needs of others first, sometimes to a fault. 

Being a part of the Dreams Team and following her dream to date has been primarily about helping others.  Nicole has always struggled to find her own dream career – the left and right sides of her brain pulling her in opposing directions.  Recently however, Nicole realized that in life, compromise isn’t necessary – you can do whatever you want and on your own terms.  Having said this, Nicole is excited to be starting her own business event planning, staging and helping others to make their house a home through interior design. 

In a perfect world, Nicole will run her own successful business while still being a part of the day-to-day operations of dreamstoreality.ca and continuing to help others. 

Nicole’s advice to those searching for their dream:
Take some time to really think about what your dreams are.  If you could take away all the things that make achieving your dream impossible, what would you do?  Once you figure that out then start figuring out a way to make it happen.
