April Greetings!

Hope you're almost done with April showers and are getting ready for May flowers!

Here's a few highlights from this month's Communique':
  • My latest blog "Are You a L.I.A.R?"  
    Thanks to the creative group in my North Carolina workshop who came up with this provocative communication-related acronym!
     
  • Favorite quotes from John Maxwell, Leadership Guru, whose presentation I recently attended at a conference in Las Vegas.
     
  • A speaking career "first"...a song written for me and sung prior to the introduction to my presentation.  See "Ballad to Sarita Maybin" below. 
Also, a reminder...now is the time to schedule:
  • Summer staff retreats
  • Last minute end-of-fiscal-year staff training
  • Fall staff in-service and off-sites 

Lastly, CONTEST ALERT! Check out the "Best Name Badge Ever" contest in this Communique'. PRIZES for the first three to reply with correct answers!

I look forward to hearing from you and hope to have an occasion to collaborate soon! 

Enjoy the Spring season!

ARE YOU A LIAR?


Brainstorming in a breakout brought forth the brash but brilliant acronym L.I.A.R.  Truth be told, it was some of my workshop participants who came up with it.  With their permission I share this newfound abbreviation, and have embellished it with some of my own examples.    Read on and see if you are a L.I.A.R.

 




 

The Ballad of Sarita Maybin


 

(Tune: "The Ballad of Davy Crockett")

 

She lived many places at a young age,

Germany and the East Coast was her stage.

Earned a Masters Degree in counseling,

College administration became her thing.

 

Sarita, Sarita Maybin, starting her career.

 

Now she made a career change in '93,

She became very busy as you will see.

Learned to speak with a positive tone.

Since then her career has really grown.

 

Sarita, Sarita Maybin, seeing her passion clear.

 

A professional speaker she became,

Many key speeches became her game.

Has spoken now in 49 states,

With humor and grace she always relates.

 

Sarita, Sarita Maybin, she has a new frontier.

 

Now she wrote a book about "what to say",

So we're glad you are here for us today!
