What Would Interest You?

I have offered myself as a free speaker to women's clubs and organizations. I offer topics on cooking with kids, Easy Holiday appetizers & party ideas and Dinner in 29 minutes or less. I have a background in foods and nutrition and dietetics. Message me if you would like to talk more.

Stress relief ideas, vacation planning, how to react to children with their everending changes like puberty and how to teach them to deal with stress.

Decorating on a budget?
That would WAY interest me!

Gardening?

Make-Up tips?

Coupon classes?

Taxes help!
I so need that now! Ha!

Economics, I am tired of explaining it to people so a little help would be nice. :)

I'm a photographer and I just taught a mom's group how to use their cameras and how to get good pictures of their kids. It was SO much fun!

I'm an insurance agent and am always surprised at how little people understand about insurance. No one wants to pay for it, but they sure are glad they have it when they need it! I have done some presentations on insurance and people always tell me after that they learned things they didn't know before (home, auto and life). Good luck!

Get a gyno to come, preferably a woman, and talk about SEX. It was such a relief to hear most moms were not in the mood either. Plus, the doctor actually explained things some of us didn't know.

Scrapbooking was popular. Beading not so much.

My MOPS group had Bra Fitting Specialists come in and do a presentation for how to care for your bra and then fit each of us. It was interesting and informative. They also gave each person a coupon for a new bra.

Cooking or wine tasting/education.

Hi there! Our MOPS group just had the author of 1-2-3 Magic speak, he was excellent!! We have also had speakers on going green, how to make a budget notebook, self-esteem( for moms AND kids), cake decorating, depression, being content with where you are at NOW, those are just a few examples. This is my last year and then I "graduate"... so sad...lol I will miss all of the ladies! I hope that this helped a little. Good Luck!!

We just had a local speaker who did a workshop on couponing. Unfortunately, I could not attend. I heard the workshop was great !

Years ago, I presented a workshop entitled, "Sibling Rivalry".

My favorite workhop to present is "Eating Healthier"...I talk about organic foods and I make 2 organic, vegan smoothies and pass out samples/recipes.

Kindergarten rediness. What they need to know and what to expect.
Car seat safety. How old they need to be for which seat. What type of seat and how to buckle it in the car. And what the ticket costs if they dont have one.

Nutrition*
organizing
internet safety for children
couponing
safe nontoxic cleaners *
* I can recommend someone for these topics if you are interested.

Do all of the meetings have to be with speakers or can you have someone do a demo? For example, have someone teach a yoga class, zumba class or self defense.

Check out the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, they have a speakers bureau that your group might find interesting. What about a presentation regarding women's health issues - esp the signs of a heart attack because they are different than men.
Another is a "round robin" presentation - you don't have a speaker, but you ask each member to bring something on a certain topic - like the name of their favorite place to go play with the kids and why.

Jodee Blanco - great speaker on Bullying. Search her on the web - she's a Chicago girl.

I know it's shallow and vain, but I like the idea of having a plastic surgeon come in to talk about mommy make-overs ;-) Or maybe have a personal trainer come in to talk about how to get rid of the mummy tummy.

You could do a "couponing" class, a makeup class, an organization class,

You should have Cathy Adams come out to speak! Check out her website's: Zenparentingradio.com and cathycassaniadams.com

She has written a couple great books, The Self-Aware Parent and The Self-Aware Parent II

Cathy Cassani Adams is a parenting expert and self-awareness teacher who supports parents in uncovering their authentic selves and inner joy so they can raise their children in a calm, loving, and supportive environment.

I've been listening to her radio show (that her Husband co-host's with her) and it's excellent! She's been on WGN Radio! I would highly recommend having her speak to your club. She has info on speaking engagments on her website.

Good luck :)
