Do you have too much to do but not enough YOU to handle it all? You are not alone. Business experts and lifestyle specialists call this the "full plate" syndrome. We want it all but we don't have time to do it all. Each day we make hundreds of choices about what we will do or not do. What we choose determines who we are, who we will become and how others view us.
This engaging presentation identifies concrete tips, tools and steps that enable you to clear off your plate. The result is better time management, life balance, improved attitude and a clear sense of personal responsibility.

“The Power of Entering into Unfairness”
This presentation deals with goal setting and how our concept of “fairness” is so powerful it often pulls us away from our goals without us even being aware that we have changed directions.
Fairness actually is often an excuse we use to lower our standard. And no matter how justified our actions might be in our minds, the moment we lower our standard is the moment we cease to follow our goal and our performance is diminished.
The presentation centers around one of my players who faced tremendous adversity one season, and yet no matter what life threw at her she continued to meet the standard. As a result she became a leader not only on the team, but at school and in the community.
