In professional speaking terms this is my signature speech. It started as one speech 25 years ago called Pyromania: How to Set a Fire Under Yourself™. Over the years it evolved into three speeches as a result of client needs and expectations. Why a trilogy? I'm proud and happy to share that the initial speech was so popular that more of the same was requested and thus designed. They are speeches that have been given to every age, every demographic and on every continent (except Antarctica...even I can't inspire penguins☺). 
It's really evolved one more time, just haven't changed the title. Initially it was pure motivation, then it segued to work/life balance but in my work into the field of human potential it has emerged once more and now addresses quality of life issue aka life skills. Although they may sound like things you hear and know on a daily basis, there are so many variations and formulas to success that can be continually explored. 
The program covers attitude, risk-taking, goal-setting, continuous learning, self-esteem, the power of hope, values and more. I believe the quality of our lives is contingent upon two factors... our values and our choices. First determine your values, then make your choices sync with those values. One of the interactive exercises includes these four questions;
 
 
I give my attendees homework along with insights on working through these. This is a good starter for all of you in answering these questions.

If any of you remember the movie or Broadway show "Auntie Mame" or if you're old enough to admit you remember it, then you might recall that Mame was famous for her eclectic circle of friends. I pride myself on that same principle of knowing so many diverse people and calling many of them my friends.
