(Three, 45 minute sessions)
Book Laurel for a series of 3 sessions on a theme of communication, goal setting or personal leadership.
These are perfect for a brown bag lunch setting. Each session is 45 minutes in length and can be scheduled over a number of weeks. This is a terrific alternative professional development choice for busy employees.
Laurel’s warm and friendly ability to engage and encourage audience participation is a gift! She is quickly becoming one of our top favored speakers. Her ease of presentation is just one of the successful components, as she shares her knowledge and expertise.

What Are You Waiting For?
How to Stop Procrastinating and Start Living
Have you been on a slow burn for too long?
Is it time for you to ignite your life?
Life is just too darn short to waste time smoldering away. If you don’t feel jazzed up, tickled pink and passionate about your life, then its time to strike a match and get things burning. Explore the ingredients necessary to re-kindle the fire in your life and re-energize your spirit. Then watch out. Do I smell smoke?
Get Happy!
Follow Your Bliss to More Happiness, Fun & Success
It’s not your circumstances that are holding you back. It’s how you are thinking about them. Knowing how to easily shift perspectives is a key tool in your personal and professional success. From the simplest of pleasures to the grandest of dreams, learn how to tap back into your bliss, get unstuck and moving forward.
Laurel Vespi created a 3-part workshop series on the topic of happiness. This program was successful beyond our expectations, both regarding the number of people who registered and the positive feedback we received from attendees. We already have a waiting list of people who are hopeful that we will run this program again.

Put Your Oxygen Mask on First:
Strategies for Self Care Survival
Self care is critical to your peak performance but it often goes to the bottom of your to-do list. Learn a “guilt-free” option to self care and practical strategies for maintaining your physical, emotional and spiritual balance.
The Power of One:
Making a Difference One at a Time
Do you have a longing to make a difference?
Are you uncertain about the impact that one person can make?
Do you want something different for yourself, your family, your workplace?
You CAN make a difference in your life and in the world – one thought, one gesture, one action at a time.
Whether your dream is for a more meaningful personal existence or for global change, this session will provide you with insights and strategies to begin to create a new reality.
Life Essentials:
What You Do and Don’t Need
Life is jam packed with commitments, expectations, ideas and opportunities. It’s no wonder people feel overwhelmed and under-excited. Learn about physical, emotional and intellectual clutter and which five things you do want in your life and which five things you no longer need.
Not only did Laurel encourage the attendees, she challenged them to take action and THEY did! As an event planner I can confidently say having Laurel involved in your event can only enhance the overall event.

Redefining Juggling:
Life Balance Without the Circus
Does life feel like one constant juggling act?
Do your days sometimes seem like a three ring circus?
This session will provide you with an opportunity to explore whole life balance from a fresh perspective. Create a new way to think about balance, learn strategies to set priorities, say no, and move you toward a more purposeful and calmer life. Find a saner, more fun approach to keeping the balls in the air.
We appreciated Laurel’s presentation on “Redefining Juggling”. This topic was a perfect fit for our Women’s Wellness Lecture Series. Laurel is a fantastic speaker and writer as we have also used various articles she has written for our Women’s Wellness Newsletter. We would certainly have Laurel present for us again and again!
