PROGRAM INFORMATION

DON’T SHOOT SKINNY RABBITS

Before we can grow professionally, we need to learn to survive personally.  As the pace of change quickens every day, we sometimes end up chasing too many skinny rabbits.  When we do this we lose our energy and our focus on what’s really important.  Be open to new ideas, a revitalized sense of self, and letting go of the stress that causes you to chase SKINNY RABBITS!

 

FINES DOUBLE IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Today’s work world needs to be ready for any change in the road.  The paths of meeting personal and professional needs are often bumpy and filled with obstacles. What we need to remember is we are all on this trip together and we must make sure to buckle up and be ready!

 

WORKING WITH PORCUPINES

What happens when you mix a fast-paced society full of iPhones, tablets, and deadlines with cross-generational teams and customers? Porcupines around every corner.

Deadra, a child of the 60s, mother of two, and grandma to four, plus a 40-year veteran of the classroom, empowers audiences to work with customers and team members of differing backgrounds. She uses humor to explore the unique cultural and generational perspectives that exist in every situation.

By the end, audiences understand and will recognize how they, too, can take a pause, listen, and work with anyone; porcupines or not.
