Teaching that helps people understand themselves and apply what they learn.
I teach about identity, purpose, perspective, emotional intelligence, and the relationship between our experiences, the meaning we assign to them, and the beliefs that influence how we live. My approach combines explanation, practical examples, and reflection so people can consider how an idea relates to their own lives.
If you are planning an event, workshop, or group learning experience, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your audience and what you want the teaching to address.
These are areas where I have a developed body of thought, writing, teaching, scholarship, or workshop material. Individual presentations are shaped around the audience and the setting rather than delivered from a fixed script.
How experiences, interpretations, beliefs, and the stories we form about ourselves can influence the way we see ourselves, other people, and what we believe is possible. Using experience → interpretation → belief → behavior, participants consider a belief they carry, where it may have come from, and whether it still reflects what is true.
Purpose beyond titles, careers, and accomplishments. We consider identity, values, contribution, season, and the deeper reasons behind the choices we make. Who we are cannot be reduced to a particular role or expression of our purpose, and those expressions change throughout our lives.
How emotions influence thinking, behavior, decision making, communication, and relationships, and how greater awareness can help us respond more intentionally rather than reacting and explaining afterward.
The assumptions, interpretations, and conclusions we carry, and how seeing something from a different perspective can change what we understand, how we respond, and the possibilities we are able to recognize.
What happens when life, roles, relationships, expectations, or circumstances change and we have to learn how to live meaningfully within what is different rather than trying to return to who or where we were before. Different seasons may ask different things of us, and recognizing a season can inform our expectations and our choices.
Questions of identity, purpose, belief, change, meaning, and becoming through a Christian lens: how faith can shape the way we understand ourselves, interpret our experiences, navigate difficult seasons, and consider who we are becoming. This area makes room for the questions that arise when life differs from what we expected.
Presentations can be developed for professional, educational, community, women's, and faith-based settings, and selected or adapted based on the audience, the purpose, and the time available.
Let me know whether you are considering a speaking engagement, one of my developed workshops, an interactive session built for your group, or a Daring Woman experience. We can discuss the audience, length, setting, and opportunities for reflection before determining the format. If a developed workshop fits what you need, the Workshops page describes what is currently available.
If you are planning a gathering for women, a ministry event, or an organizational learning opportunity, share your audience and goals so we can discuss whether my teaching is a fit.
My faith is central to my work. The role of Scripture and prayer in a particular engagement should be discussed during planning so that the content and expectations are clear.
And what you hope this engagement will help them explore.
