Topic:  Resilience/Life Balance

It’s Easy to be Excellent

How to change your life

Is your life what you want it to be?  Perhaps it’s time to reinvent yourself – again.  Reinventing yourself means more than just coloring the gray or changing your lipstick.  It means questioning how well you’re adapting to what life is throwing at you.  Using hilarious stories of her own foibles, Anne proves that laughing about the tough stuff as soon as possible is more than an attitude – it’s the cornerstone of a joyous life.

This keynote presentation is perfect for kicking off a conference.

Topic:  Leadership

Help!  My Leadership Reality Check Bounced!

How leaders lead

Colin Powell said, “Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.”  Leading is all about listening, learning and laughing.  Anne speaks from her own leadership experiences as the COO of a billion dollar mortgage bank and as a recovering politician who served her community for three terms.  In this program participants will learn:

·  Action principles for nurturing leadership

·  The difference between advising and coaching

·  Techniques for asking quality questions to help people grow

·  How to use laughter as a leadership tool

Topic:  Change/Stress

You Can’t Make Me Change Anything but My Underwear!

How to improve your thinking and your performance

The old adage that you are what you think is still true.  Using leading edge research in the scientific field of positive psychology, Anne guides people to understand their own thought processes and gives tips to improve their behaviors.  This program is a must for your difficult people as well as your top performers.  Participants will:

·  Take a short self-test about how they react to life events

·  Study optimism/pessimism theory and  apply these theories to their own thinking

·  Study techniques for improving their responses to change

·  Make a personal commitment to create a new habit of improved behavior

Anne’s Leadership Bio

Rumored to be the lost love child of Mark Twain and Lucille Ball for her wit and wisdom, Anne specializes in motivational humor and creating personal growth in participants.  As Chief Operating Officer, Anne saved a billion dollar mortgage bank from bankruptcy.  As an elected official, Anne helped lead her school district from troubled waters to one of the top 100 school districts in the nation.  But her greatest claim to fame is being married for 40 long years to the same engineer, having 3 kids and 2 grandkids who are not currently in jail, and being voted Best Smelling Mom by her son’s first grade class.  Her fast-paced presentations are full of humorous stories and practical tips for changing attitudes and behaviors to improve results.
