Speech Topics
REINVENT YOURSELF TO BE WHAT YOU CAN’T GO A DAY WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT
We all have dreams, so why do most of us not follow through with them? What you want is out there. Don’t ever settle until you’ve achieved it!
TAKING THE P.A.U.S.E.
Do you realize that taking a brief pause can help you deal with any situation? Taking a pause and reassessing the situation for what it is – not what you first perceive it to be – can make all the difference in responding well. Dana will cover 5 easy steps to experiencing greater peace with the people and world around us.
LIFE IS ROUGH SO WE GOT TO GET TOUGH
Einstein famously taught us that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, you will keep getting the same results. You are so much more than the painful things that have happened to you in the past! Dana will discuss how to use the bad, sad, and ugly from your past to find greater joy in your present.
