Looking For Inspiration, Finding Hope!

Drawing from her own life experiences, best selling author Edie Hand will have your audience both laughing and crying, but most importantly, they’ll be encouraged to keep looking for the inspiration in their own lives. A three time cancer survivor, Edie has also dealt with the tragic death of three brothers, and faced challenges and triumphs in her professional life as CEO of her own Advertising Agency and a popular Radio/Television personality. Edie will give her secrets to using inspiration, humor and faith to break down the invisible barriers in our lives and give us the courage to prevail. Edie is a powerhouse of inner strength and says there is a story of inspiration and hope in everyone. You’ve just got to look for it.

 

How to Grow Your Business with the Alphabetical Concept

More than ever before, success in business relies on relationships. Developing the right relationships requires understanding of person to person communication. Yet, most people have never been taught good business manners.  Businessman Dale Brakhage joins Edie in presenting the ABC format. The beauty of this concept is twofold.  The familiarity encourages audience engagement and keeps the program moving in the right direction. After distractions, you can really easily get right back on track.  The concepts remain the same, but the content changes to meet the group’s interests. We talk about the audience issues that assure participation and good reviews in understanding the alphabetic basic concepts of selling.  What do parents, politicians, teachers, preachers, and lawyers share in common with salespeople?  They all persuade others to accept their ideas with a bit of charm and confidence.  These manners will pay off.  That is selling, and everybody sells!  Join us in learning how to sell anything.

 

“Mopping With Your Pearls On” Edie is joined by humorist Martha Bolton

If there’s anything that will help you get through this life, it’s learning how to mop with your pearls on!  Mopping with your pearls on means looking your best and being ready for whatever God has for you to do. Through funny stories, Edie and Martha will bring out the importance of adding this pearl to your life’s strand.  Mopping with your pearls on is about rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard work, knowing that it is only going to bring you more pearls in your life.  Mopping with your pearls on means focusing on the pearls and not the dirt. Again, Edie and Martha will tell humorous stories that show the benefits of adding the pearl of “letting go” to your pearl necklace.  Mopping with your pearls on means you believe in yourself. It doesn’t matter how much dirt we have to mop up, we need to know how to rise above it all and see the pearls along our paths. Edie and Martha will share the importance of adding the pearl believing in yourself.  Mopping with your pearls on also means not letting other people define you. You know you’re a pearl person. Just because someone’s thrust a mop in your hands doesn’t change who you are. Take the mop and make the best of it. But never take off your pearls.  And finally, mopping with your pearls on is about maintaining a good attitude in the face of whatever life brings you. Both Edie and Martha have had to deal with tragedies in their lives. But they have let the pearls of humor and faith get them through it.  You can do hard things too!
