TOPICS FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES
THE JOY OF CONNECTION (We Get By With a Little Help From Our Friends)
Girlfriends, sisters, mothers, daughters… We need each other and not just for the fun we have together! Our connections as women encourage and energize us, help us live longer and happier, and for some of us – save our sanity! Laugh and learn together as we celebrate the gift of one another and the amazing connections we share as “sisters” facing the challenges of life. Together, we can make it! (45 to 60 minute keynote for women’s events. Also adapted for caregiver events.)
REMEMBER LAUGHING?
Humor has the power to change your life! From chuckles to belly laughs, laughter is indeed the best medicine. Lowered blood pressure, increased energy, improved focus and greater hope are just some of humor’s benefits for body and soul. Laugh and learn in this fast-paced, interactive reminder to keep on laughing, no matter what life brings your way. (30 to 45 minutes of energizing entertainment and encouragement for all groups.)
HELP! MY LIFE IS A GAME OF TWISTER! Keynote
You know the feeling: the life you planned, a game of Life where all your dreams come true and you live happily ever after, has turned into a game of Twister instead. Someone else is spinning the dial and calling the shots. “Right hand red!” Traffic jam. Bad hair day. “Left foot green!” Tragedy. Sorrow. Before you know it, there you are, twisted like a pretzel, and trying very hard to remain upright.
Twisted sister (and brother), you are not alone! And there is hope! Laugh along with Mary Pierce as she takes a hilarious look at the Twister game of life. You’ll learn practical tools for untwisting yourself, gaining new perspective and finding greater peace. (45 to 60 minutes of stress relief and laughter)
WHEN DID I STOP BEING BARBIE & BECOME MRS. POTATO HEAD? (women only)
What’s a woman to do when she’s caught between the dream of impossible perfection and the slightly lumpy, slightly frumpy realities of life? Live in denial? Start another diet? Get a shot of Botox? No! (Well, maybe a little Botox…) In this hilarious presentation, Mary Pierce will encourage you to appreciate the Real You-less than perfect but perfectly lovable, just the way you are! (45 minutes of laughter and insight)
If you have something else in mind, Mary will be happy to work with you to design a custom presentation for your group event. Please contact her to discuss your needs.
