Don’t Just Stand There – ZUMBA!
What happens when three VERY different women (all who just happen to be motivational speakers) take the exact same Zumba class together for the first time? You get three radically diverse reactions. What was mine? Well, CLICK HERE to read. Oh, how I wanted to be Lucy Ricardo when I grew up.

How to Achieve GREATNESS!
I wear a lot of hats: Mom, wife, motivational speaker, author, and wannabe golfer – to name a few. And it was the method I used to help me improve my golf game that helps me whenever I’m trying to get really good at anything.
Children learn by observing the behaviors of their parents – and then imitating that behavior. Interestingly, adults can learn in much the say way. It’s called modeling. I realized this a long time ago when I repeatedly watched a golf video promising to… Continue reading - How to Achieve GREATNESS! >>
The Compelling Case for Talking
An article in Psychology Today (December ’08) reported that women who “self-silence” during arguments with their spouses are four times more likely to die over a ten year period that their peers who express themselves.
I don’t know about other women, but I KNOW that when I have something I need to say that is important, it actually HURTS not to be able to express it. I can feel my whole body reacting negatively when some little sensor tells me to “keep it quiet.”

As a motivational speaker, I travel a LOT and I remember a very intriguing experience I had several years ago at the DCA airport. I picked a rental car from the National Car Rental lot and pulled up to the checkout kiosk. And when the young man turned around to take my information, something REALLY interesting happened. Now, before I tell you want happened, I need you to know that I was in what I call, a “neutral” emotional state. I wasn’t particularly happy, certainly not sad – just kind of… Continue reading - How to Create REALLY Happy Customers Who LOVE You! >>
I was a cheerleader in high school and college and I LOVED it! I LOVED cheering my team on with all the energy and enthusiasm I could bring. I just KNEW that on some level, those guys performed BETTER because of my encouragement and support. Well, my cheerleading uniform doesn’t fit any more. And trust me, you do NOT want to see me jumping up and down. There would be an “up-down” delayed reaction with some of my body parts that would leave people VERY confused. So now I have assumed a new role… Continue reading - New Job Title: Professional Encourager >>
How to Get “Yes” More Often
Before I was a motivational speaker, I was a professional actor and some of my GREATEST life lessons were learned in that career. I wrote this blog on my other blog site and I have to say – I liked it a LOT! It was actually a GREAT reminder to myself, so I thought I’d share it over here on this blog site as well. I talk about what one particular lesson I learned as an actor and how I think it applies to everyone who HATES getting a “NO!”
Enjoy!
