My Most Requested Programs
Release Your Brave
Do ever wish you had a “do over”?
If only you’d responded differently…
Taken action on that instinct…
Moments of hesitation, doubt, or regret can start an unproductive cycle of comparing ourselves to others; leaving us discouraged and defeated.
Release YOUR Brave will equip you with a fresh lens and a new outlook by recognizing who you are, and honoring how you are.
In this transformative presentation, we will:
- Discover what “brave” looks like for you personally
- Gain a new respect for your own successes and worthiness so you won’t need to compare
- Learn to appreciate and be inspired by someone else’s “brave”
- Help you respond to opportunities with your own brave abilities.
You will be empowered with the courage to Release YOUR Brave, resulting in fewer missed opportunities.
This session is perfect for women’s organizations, teams, or groups ready to embrace and be empowered in their unique individuality.
Show up ready to interact and engage in order embrace all that you are and all that you can become.
UNTANGLING COMMUNICATION
Do you feel like sometimes people just don’t understand you? They don’t “get you”.
Is there anyone in your life you don’t understand?
Who do you know that is hard to connect with, or appreciate?
Our personalities, combined with the roles we play and the titles we’ve been assigned, can contribute to confusion and frustration, resulting in weak interpersonal connections, wasted resources, and poor performance.
Untangling Communication helps you understand all of the pieces of the communication puzzle.
During this engaging presentation, you will learn:
- How to understand personalities, roles, and why titles affect communication
- What tools to apply in order to better understand yourself and others
- When to acknowledge key differences between communication and connecting
- Why all of this is crucial to successful team dynamics.
New awareness and understanding can reduce the potential for miscommunication.
By Untangling Communication, you will relate to others more effectively, deepen existing connections, all while enjoying more productive and peaceful exchanges.
This presentation can be customized for teams, teachers, and families.
Clear Your C.R.A.P.
Is the “stuff” from your past weighing you down?
Are you still following old “rules and norms” that are keeping you captive?
Do you feel suffocated from doing what’s “expected” of you?
Junk from your past can show up like an unexpected and unwelcome guest. It can linger like a bad odor, causing doubt and dread.
You may not know what “it” is, but you know it sucks the life out of you. And it holds you back from being who you were meant to be.
In Clear Your C.R.A.P., we will explore the “junk” that is holding you back, focusing on:
- C = Chaos from relationships and in everyday life
- R = Rules that need to be broken
- A = Awareness of attitudes
- P = Perceptions of self and situations
Once we identify our own C.R.A.P., we are empowered to let it go.
Freeing up this space gives us room to breathe, and allows us take responsible actions toward transformational growth.
If you’re ready to Clear Your C.R.A.P., let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work. Nothing changes until something changes.
This presentation can be tailored for one-on-one engagements or group settings.
