Speech Topics


Patient Not Passive! Improve health outcomes through collaborations between patients and medical professionals

Any time one person is dependent on another breakdowns in communication and collaboration are inevitable. Far too often this is what happens in doctor/nurse-patient relationships to the detriment of both. Debbie Exner and Maddie Hunter partner up to help you build effective collaboration between patients and medical professionals. Develop trust and learn important information that each member of the team can provide. Enable patients to enlist their own faith and confidence in dealing as effectively as possible with their health challenges.

The Great “Life-Balance” Myth:

regain control over your time, energy and soul Those who claim you can “balance” the thousand screaming demands on your life probably spend most of their time on a deserted island. You’re never going to be balanced and furthermore you don’t even want to be balanced. There’s no movement or growth when things are balanced; it’s not even normal. In this earthy, no nonsense presentation you’ll explore how to move, dance, juggle and stay in control while you’re doing so. Learn to take all that energy spent on guilt because your life isn’t “balanced” and throw a party for yourself. You’ll never have more energy, confidence and sheer fun. And you’ll never be so productive!

Collaboration Pays Off!

Collaboration unleashes the power that comes from complementary insights, skills, and talents. It creates outcomes that are better than single efforts and can be used for many aspects of your work, leadership, and creative efforts. Assess your “collaborability” and learn ways to make collaboration an every day practice and a source of vitality. Open the door to innovation, new ideas and an optimal end result and enjoy your contribution more.
