WHO ARE THESE PRESENTATIONS FOR?My talks are appropriate for individuals, zoom groups, conferences, colleges, high schools, corporate events and anybody that will benefit from learning life skills that can show you how to turn challenges into accomplishment, how choices, not circumstances, determine achievement and how to appreciate our differences instead of judging them.
SocialHow does social media affect you?
In this talk I will discuss all things social; from anxiety, low self-esteem to the joy of finding like-minded folks in the cyber universe, to not participating at all. This technology is with us, and it has changed us. I want to create a space to discuss how people are coping, thriving, or walking aways from social media. |
OrientedAfter 30 year of speaking to students and through my own tumultuous experiences, I have come to the conclusion the best thing I can do is share life skills on living on your own and making the best decisions for your future college success.
From communication to abstinence, I give ideas on how to survive and thrive in any environment. Through humor and audience participation I try to reach every aspect of college life. My best hope is to plant a message so people will have the tools to be able to make good choices, avoid bad situations, and graduate with a degree, not a record. |
SEXEDIn this interactive presentation I use texting to encourage lively discussions on topics such as, sexuality, sexual orientation, pleasure, communication skills to sexual assault, consent and respect. I let the audience lead with texting and moderate with answers that can bring information, education and laughter to the students.
