SUGGESTED PLACES FOR VARIOUS TOPICS

 

 

 

à ideal for: Any Group, Organization, or Church

  • "Huh?  Ouch!  What Did You Say?"

If words could be dropped like bricks on people's toes when others aren't listening,  everyone would learn better listening skills—which would give them better communication skills.  It takes more than ears to listen.  Relationships are improved at work and home when people learn how to listen.

 

  • "I Can't!  I Won't!  I'd Rather Die First!"

This is a series of fun but intense and interactive workshops held over a two day period.  Participants are guaranteed that they will become not only more comfortable in front on an audience or group but will learn valuable skills to help them become adept at speaking to groups.  For all those people who think death would be easier than getting up in front of an audience, this is for you.  It also offers many tools for people who simply want to hone their presentation and speaking skills.

 

 

à ideal for: Business and Community Groups, Marriage and Parenting Groups & Churches

  • "Ouch, Where Does the Prickly Pear Fit into the Puzzle?"

This is an interactive discussion which provides visual clues of various personalities.  People can identify their own personality and the personality of those close to them.  By understanding the inherent emotional needs of each personality, relationships are strengthened.  Strengths and weaknesses of each personality are shown to identify how each fits together in work or family environment.

 

 

à  ideal for: Business and Community Groups & Churches

  •  "Attitude: Who Owns Yours?"

Your attitude is your personal possession.  Don't set it on your shoulders for someone to steal.

 

 

à ideal for: Business, Community, and Writing Groups

  •  "Where's My Notebook? Where's My Pen? Where's My Desk?"

How to look, act, and feel organized (though everyone said it was hopeless), and get tons accomplished.

 

  • "Relax! You've Got the Rest of Your Life―or Until Your Boss Says It's Due"

Motivational ways to de-stress, focus, enjoy yourself more, but get more work done.

 

 

à ideal for: Business and Writing Groups

  • "The Point in Writing.  Get to the Point.  Now, What Was Your Point?"

Clarify.  Have impact.  Don't make the reader wonder what you are trying to say.  Learn to identify and throw out words that are unneeded. 

 

 

à ideal for: Schools ― for teacher in-service trainings:

  • "Why Can't You Just Sit Still, Listen, and Turn Your Homework in on Time?"

This workshop helps participants interpret and understand visual clues of various personalities along with their inherent emotional needs.  Strengths and weaknesses of each personality are presented to help teachers identify ways to bring out the best in each student. Plus, by gaining understanding from a student's perspective, the teacher can help that student to build more confidence and do better work.

 

 

à ideal for: Churches

  •  "Clean Out Your Ears, but Don't Use Q-Tips"

This is a presentation on learning to hear God's voice (direction)--but how can you hear if he doesn't call on the phone or send an email?

 

  •  "So, How Am I Supposed to Think?"

Self-esteem, self-loathing, pride, denial, positive thinking, negative thinking, half-empty, half-full—So, what attitude does Jesus want me to have?

 

  •  "I'm Praying to Walk on Water"

Just what is OK to pray for?  Can I pray to walk on water? Is there anything I shouldn't pray for?  Why do some people seem like they get more answers to prayer?
