Life Long Learning

2011

Yes, I have been to college. Yes, I have letters and certificates. But most of all I have gained a lifetime of wisdom by sharing with people all over the world. My experiences, triumphs and tragedies have given me a foundation of caring and a deep respect for all I come in contact with. What I bring to your table was not learned in a classroom, but rather on a journey with fellow travelers. Thank you, Judy H. Wright

English and Social Work

I have both credentials and character. Character is more important. As an author of over 20 books I do research and in-depth interviews with some of the smartest people in the world. My divine gift is to be able to take information and distill it in such a way that resonates with an audience.

I am a wise woman with a global message of Respect, Resilience and Responsibility. May I have the opportunity to share this lifetime of wisdom with your organization or group?

Thank you, Judy H. Wright

Who Nurtures the Nurturer? Who Cares For the Caregiver?

You can't get drinks from an empty well! By practicing the techniques taught in this workshop, caregivers and nurturers can learn to forestall compassion burn-out and practice self-care without feeling guilty. Compassion fatigue is another form of heart disease.

Those who are in the business of being caregivers, whether that position is paid, volunteer, or drafted, frequently neglect to recharge their own batteries. By practicing the strategies and techniques taught in this workshop, caregivers can learn to ration energy and forestall burnout.

This workshop or in-service is perfect for those who are charged with helping others:
Counselors
Nurses
Doctors
Social Workers
Teachers
Parents
Managers
Assistants to developmentally or physically disabled
Anyone who is in a position of helping others

Participants will learn how to:
Ask for and accept help
Ration energy
Take one-minute breathers
Recognize their own needs
Speak up assertively if they are being taken advantage of
Replenish their stores of patience
Acknowledge daily successes
Give and receive TLC

"There is a connection between self-nurturing and self-respect." ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

Seminar length can be one to three hours. As always, workshops and speeches are custom-designed to fit the needs of your organization and the individuals who attend.

Smart Cookies Don't Crumble

This is a very interesting time to be alive. Many people are paralyzed with fear and see circumstances and events all around them to be concerned about. They become stuck in an negative rut and assume that a temporary situation will never change.

Many others are energized with excitement and opportunities to grow and develop in new ways and new directions. They re-frame the situation into a learning experience and rebound from adversity.

We are all shifting from what was to what is and to what will become.
Although life circumstances can be difficult, the life-skill of resiliency can be learned and modeled.

Your organization, and you, can control how disappointment, discouragement can be turned into positive experiences.
