What people are saying...

If meeting and conference planners don't already have enough on their plate (I know - I've been one), nothing helps more than working with an experienced, seasoned speaker who is not a diva;  someone you can count on to deliver a superbprogram, that offers significant value and content with a great entertainment factor...someone you absolutely don't have to worry about.  Confidence and peace of mind is highly valued in the conference planning arena.

That's what you'll get when you engage me for your next event. I am diverse, flexible, and t
he consummate professional. I've spoken all over North America, to thousands, and have had some crazy experiences along the way. Honestly - nothing at an event can surprise me or throw me....well hopefully not.

The Inspired Professional - Going From Ordinary to Extraordinary

We could all use a bit more inspiration these days and usually we look outside ourselves to find it? How about a different approach? How about finding inspiration from within and sharing that inspiration with those around us? In these volatile times, what will set apart the ordinary professional from the extraordinary?...it will be those who are the inspired professional!

It's Your Life, Make it Count, Manage Your Time, Meet Your Destiny
This keynote is a unique inspirational talk infusing practical elements of time management. It is a more holistic view of time through the lens of how time is the key focus of how someone uses their  "life-time"


Creative & Innovative Thinking – The Next New Skill, How Much Is An Idea Worth?
(one of the most popular for both break-out and keynote)
An IBM survey of 1500 CEO resulted in this finding: creative & innovative thinking is the #1 most needed leadership comptency. This is a fun, interactive program to guide attendees through practical tools on how to generate ideas and develop innovative thinking. It's about solutions, process improvement, effective decision-making, and doing more with less!  As stated by Richard Florida (author of "Rise of The Creative Class") “Ideas are the new commodity of the 21st century."  This presentation is not about "talking about creativity", but having the attendees actually experience their own!Creativity_Session2.pdf

Getting Results - Lead & Succeed With High-Impact Productivity Strategies
Based on the book & wildly popular seminar Organizational Strategies for the Overwhelmed, this topic offers a holistic approach beyond just a typical time management seminar. It addresses a variety of areas not typically addressed that impact getting results through the lens of time.  This workshop is extremely insightful and practical as well as inspiring!

E.Q. and You - Developing Your Emotional Intelligence

A great introductory program, perfect for a conference setting. It makes this very popular topic approachable and down to earth. This program answers the questions what is it, how do I develop it, and how to work with others who don't have it!

Can't We All Just Get Along - Powering-up Team Communication & Collaboration
(the extended and more interactive version of the keynote)
 

I believe one of the most critical diversity issues today is not necessarily race of ethnicity, but personality differences on which team members get the least amount of training. This essential workshop helps members identify their own personality type in a very fun way and also gain understanding and a sense of value of others with a engaging and enlightening interactive activity, along with learning customized techniques for gaining and maintaining an effective working rapport.

Leadership From The Inside-Out
Don't let the title fool you...this is a workshop designed for every employee and works from the premise that every employee is a leaders and should be empowered to see themselves that way.

Additionally, an essential principle in effective leadership is who people are on the inside will dictate the kind of leader and the kind of team they will have on the outside. The inside can be characterized as authentic personal power. Attendees are guided through 13 points of a personal power wheel to provide tangible touch points for creating and maintaining personal power. This establishes the foundation for authentic leadership. This is for everyone! Leadership_from_the_Inside-E.pdf

The Unspoken Keys To Communicating with Tact & Finesse

A very interactive program that approaches this topic in a refreshing way.  The approach is by teaching that we are not necessarily speaking to a person but to their mind. An essential component of communicating effectively is
understanding how the mind works and then with that knowledge using unique techniques that can be used to achieve better outcomes. Some of the techniques are taken from NLP (neuro linquistic programing). I call these specific techniques "3D Communication."

Debunking Diversity
Diversity is usually seen through the lens of race and ethnicity.  This is a refreshing look at a highly delivered topic.  It breaks down diversity beyond those traditional views. If you want a program to address diversity, but not in the tradiitonal way that attendees say, "Oh, not again." Then this is the program!

Delivery Style
With thousands of workshops and seminars conducted both public and private, JoAnn collected and developed many effective techniques to engage attendees and increase retention within that setting. She's conducted many seminars delivering these ideas and techniques. Her style has been defined as: fun, funny, entertaining, insightful, inspiring, meaty, high energy, practical and down-to-earth.
