It's Your Life — Choose Well

Good choices contribute to a happier, healthier, saner life. We all want that—but we get bogged down in the endless details of work or everyday living. We believe we haven't the time or the energy to invest in ourselves, adding even more undesirable activities to our daily "To Do" list. Banish the thought! Life can be a pleasure and much more satisfying when we learn to consciously choose well.

You Will Learn To:

  • Make informed, conscious choices to enhance your physical well-being
  • Harness the power of focused vision to strengthen your mental well-being
  • Inject the good medicine of laughter and play into your day for emotional well-being
  • Transform your job into a career and stress-proof yourself for vocational well-being
  • Establish and maintain healthy relationships for better quality home and work life improving social well-being
  • Appreciate and foster the roles of character, ethics, and integrity for spiritual well-being

Client comments:

"Since we began working with you several years ago, we have grown to expect nothing but an outstanding presentation, and we have yet to be disappointed. We have learned to make arrangements prior to your appearances for a very large crowd, and are used to repeated requests from our guests to give you additional time and to have you return for future events.

Most importantly, your presentations are filled with wisdom, real life experiences as a health-care professional, and warmth. You have a true gift and we look forward to working with you for many years."

It's About Time

Time—our most valuable nonrenewable resource. You cannot buy it, bank it or borrow it. We all want more of it but it flies by, consumed by endless activity. Can we regain control and slow down the clock? Join internationally recognized motivator and humorist Kathleen Passanisi for a frank, funny, and functional look at time.

You Will Learn To:

  • Understand why "time poverty" is so prevalent
  • See stress as a disease of speed
  • Recognize the "busy signals" in your own life
  • Evaluate your time priorities—what you say vs. what you do
  • Understand the value of true work/life balance
  • Utilize the power of choice
  • Clarify your values and establish consistent goals
  • Expand time through the practice of mindfulness
  • Create the life you love
  • Truly have the "time of your life"

Client comments:

"What do you do when you need to raise money for critical services for women? You invite 560 women for lunch—and have a speaker come in to talk about stress! I just wanted to follow up and let you know the tremendous success of the "Working Women's Luncheon: IT'S ABOUT TIME."

Women are still raving over your presentation, its hilarity and substantive message. Attendance was up by 150 women; a real testimony to your topic of managing time and stress based on values. Best of all, the event raised $30,000 for the YWCA Women's Resource Center to meet the needs of women in this community. We couldn't have done it without you, Kathy."

-Rebecca G. Fuss
Communication / Volunteer Coord.
YWCA of Rochester and Monroe County

"Thank you again for your presentation at out Women's Leadership Network Annual conference. IT'S ABOUT TIME exceeded our (already high) expectations on a subject wonderfully relevant to our emphasis on work/life balance. I want you to know that the conference evaluations rated you as one of the highest in our entire three-day agenda. Your humorous delivery punctuated many pertinent points that so obviously struck home with our audience, gauged by the enthusiastic participation as you spoke about the commonalties of time deprivation we all experience. It's a beautiful thing when one can be entertained and inspired at the same time!"
