PERFECT FOR: a thought-provoking and moving opening or closing to a conference. Ideal for audiences wanting to explore the human side of personal and professional challenges, and discover why self-care isn’t selfish — it actually helps your organization. If you and your colleagues are dealing with unforeseen, unfortunate events, and want to build your resiliency, this is the session for you.

DURATION: 60-minute keynote (OR half-day or full-day workshop session)

DESCRIPTION:You may have been told that putting yourself on the agenda is seen selfish. This session demonstrates how it’s anything but. In fact, through real-life examples, Marion will show how taking care of yourself actually helps others. The life lessons shared in this motivating and inspirational session will resonate with your conference or meeting attendees for days, weeks, or possibly a lifetime. 

Through both whimsical and heart-tugging stories, Marion Grobb Finkelstein shares her belief that you can’t control what life throws in your direction, you can only control how you respond  — and (here’s the juicy part), she gives you the systems to show you HOW. Through her many personal experiences and challenges she recounts and weaves throughout this presentation, Marion demonstrates her conscious choice to turn certain life challenges and disappointments into personal gains. She will show you how you can do the same. The principles discussed can be used in both personal and professional life. This session gives you the power to take back your life, reclaim your energy and focus, and to do it all guilt-free.
