I recently had the privilege of working with the greatest group of women during a conference when I was the keynote speaker. The International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) in the Bay City MI area planned a most successful meeting. They brought in experts who spoke on topics pertaining to the needs of their members. The door prizes were perfect for the group. Their enthusiasm showed when they won a prize. The agenda was followed 100% and the meeting even ended a little early.
They asked me to speak on Take the Ride of Your Life: Shift Gears for More Balance, Growth and Joy. The audience couldn’t have been any more receptive to the ideas and their solutions on how to become more balanced is book material.
The following is a list of some tips that we discussed in the program:
- Making time for yourself is not a luxury – it is a necessity
- Make sure you are part of the balance equation
- Balance is important for all 5 generations in the workforce today
(I will be covering this topic in a future blog) - Setting boundaries at home and work for YOU is extremely important
- Train your brain to find humorous things in life
- You get what you tolerate
Below is a photo of the conference committee.
Kelly Vanzale is the person who originally contacted me to be the keynote speaker. She is a professional who understands how to make speakers feel welcome and was instrumental in helping make the conference successful.
Below is a short video testimonial from Kelly.
