The History:
For the past 9 years I have been focused at home. Raising my long-awaited children.
and working a home business in the nooks and crannies. My passion for speaking had not abated, I just put it put on the back burner.

I realized I needed to get busy doing what God put me on earth to do. With the help of some terrific books, Put Your Dream to the Test: 10 Questions to Help You See It and Seize It
and The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results
I decided to relaunch my professional speaking business.
The Dream This is the dream that emerged. I’m committed to helping people all over the world Create Positive Connections and Cultivate Purposeful Living.
The Reality I quickly discovered the business world has changed a lot in the 9 years I’ve been away from professional speaking. Thankfully, I discovered Michael Hyatt at just the right time! The former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers has the most extraordinary website www.michaelhyatt.com as well as book, Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World
The book is a step-by-step guide to launching whatever business you want to. I memorized it immediately!
The Plan I will be speaking, writing, and using social media to connect. My plan is to blog 3 times a week with regular topics.
Mondays I’ll offer insight for dealing with the various personalities in your life. When I speak on the personality styles, it’s always a favorite, so I think you will like too.
Wednesdays I’ll cover tips, tricks and strategies for successful communication. By Wednesday you’re usually sick to death of those irritating people you have to work with, so I figure that’s a good time to help you strengthen your communications skills.
Fridays, in the interest of honest transparency, I’m going to write about my lifelong challenge interest in fitness, wellness and nutrition.
I have a lot of other exciting ideas, so in between the scheduled posts I’ll be adding videos and podcasts and tools to help you create positive connections and cultivate purposeful living. I’m so excited!
Question: My theme is “Positive Connections. Purposeful Living.” With that in mind, what topics would you like to see me cover this year? What are you most interested in learning about? Please leave a comment below!
