Five years ago, upon the occasion of celebrating 20 years in business, I wrote a blog about some of the world and personal events that had transpired and affected business in that time frame — 9/11, the 2008 market crash; health challenges — 2 new knees  (2008) and a hip (2015); dating and getting married (2005). Never could I have imagined the Mother Lode of all world and business challenges — the 2020 COVID 19 pandemic!

We survived — thanks to creativity, flexibility, conversion to virtual formats, masks, vaccines, and sheer dedication to overcoming adversity. September 2023 marked 25 years of working with clients and speakers around the country — some of whom have been with us through that entire span of time. We are very grateful for all of the speakers who have chosen to work with us and to the many clients who have worked with us year after year. Thank you very much.

Blast from the past: Pictured are some of my original speakers meeting in Las Vegas in 2003 – Clockwise from top left: Jana Stanfield, Zonya Foco, me, Dr. Deborah Kern, Dr. Karen Wolfe, Holly Stiel.

National Nurses Week  2024 honors the work of nurses who lead, excel, and innovate in our healthcare systems and our communities, making them vital to transforming the future of healthcare. National Nurses week is celebrated May 6-12 and many organizations are extending recognition throughout the month of May.

Nurses bring vast knowledge and expertise to every health care setting across a wide range of specialties, serving their patients and communities throughout the continuum of life and care. The American Nurses Association has selected the evergreen theme, You Make A Difference, to honor nurses’ varying roles as well as the positive impact they have on everyone’s lives.

Our skilled professional speakers  — many who are nurses or have healthcare or patient experience backgrounds — are intimately familiar with the stresses — and rewards — of nursing and relate personally to their audiences. They excel in translating their knowledge into uplifting messages that rekindle the flames and put smiles back in the hearts and faces of the nurses they touch.
