 Getting
Out of Your Own Way: Have you ever felt you deserved
the best, but didn’t know what was keeping you from
achieving it? Remember the last time you woke up in a bad
mood, and you told yourself it was going to be a rotten day?
Participants will learn how to integrate their thoughts and
feelings so they are harmonious, as well as explore how they
may stop self-defeating sabotages that keep them from getting
what they deserve in life.
Email Etiquette: Why Is It Important? With
88% of all internet users in the U.S. using email as a form
of communication, does your email communication with colleagues,
potential employers and perhaps your boss, convey the correct
message? Do you ramble, say too much or not enough? Any time
spent on making your email clearer is time well spent! Basic
etiquette topics to be discussed will include addresses and
personal names, subject lines, message content, signatures,
replies and email courtesy.
Survive & Thrive: A dream or wish is
the way we would like the world to be. A goal is what we intend
to do to make it happen. People who survive and thrive have
goals–they make things happen. This workshop will help
you establish a personal and professional development plan
that will enhance your life.
Becoming a Better You: Thinking you could
be a better person…who couldn’t? It’s not
whether we need to be better, but whether we choose to be
better. It means changing habits, taking some risks and thinking
differently. No matter how good someone is, you can’t
be perfect overnight. So the important thing is that you grow
every day. Join me as you discover how to become a better
you.

 The
A, B, C’s of Team Building! Basically everything
we learned as youngsters has helped us to be part of a team,
whether it was sharing our crayons or taking turns as the
teacher’s monitor. The basic skills we developed then
are the same skills that we use today as adults. Sometimes
we prefer to get the task done alone, but soon find out it
would be fun to work together with others. This VERY interactive
presentation will reveal just how important it is to be a
vital member of a team, because we’re all in it together.
School Secretary Survival A school secretary’s
job is as wide, varied and diverse as any other job, but sometimes
we could all use a few tips to ‘survive.’ Some
of the topics we’ll discuss are communication, the ESL/ELL
student, appropriate vs. inappropriate adult behavior, confidentiality,
and most importantly, taking care of YOU. This workshop will
be an open forum where everyone is invited to share some of
their tried and true tips also!!

lives to exceed even your own expectations!

in the direction of our thoughts. This session will explore
the various things we can do to adjust our thinking patterns
and protect our attitude.
On a Personal Mission: A personal mission
statement is a clear statement of what you want to achieve

a method that will enable you to walk away with your own personal
mission statement at the end of the day and, in the process,
you will learn even more about yourself. And, we’ll
have fun doing it!!
Are There Cows In Your Pasture? Cows represent the
things in our lives that keep us from experiencing change.
Together, we will learn about the different types of cows
in our lives that hinder us from accepting change and its

identify many of the cows and learn how to lead them rather
than have them lead us.

has been given, and with it, an awesome and priceless responsibility
