Raise The Bar on The Expectations in Your Life
AIM:
To help empower women to raise the bar on the expectations they have for their lives, and elevate their value, first to themselves and then to others. Ultimately the goal is to take control of their lives personally, professionally, and financially.
INTRODUCTION:
Thank you for the opportunity to speak and serve your community at the upcoming Women Leadership and Wellness Expo, in Paris, France. I look forward to connecting with your community and appreciate the opportunity to participate virtually. My presentation will address the premise that women, especially those over fifty, undervalue what they bring to the table in all avenues of their lives. As a result, they relinquish control over their lives, and lower expectations as to what they can achieve, both personally and professionally. I propose that it is time for all women to raise the bar of the expectations they have for their lives and by doing so they set higher standards for themselves and set higher goals. I also contend that this is accomplished when a purpose in life is identified. Knowing that purpose changes mindsets and puts lives on a different trajectory.
Then, I will discuss several reasons why women undervalue themselves and relinquish control over their lives. These reasons include the clutter within their minds such as fear, self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and lack of self-confidence. I share the experiences I have encountered as well as those I have observed during my 45-year career as an accountant and CPA.
Finally, I offer four steps for how women can start elevating their value, decluttering their minds, and start taking control of their lives.
Thank you again for the opportunity to speak at the upcoming conference. I typically offer a free gift for anyone connecting with me through the conference. Please let me know if this is an option.

TESTIMONIALS
"I came into this not really knowing what I was getting into, but from the very first session, I knew it would be impactful. The experience was enlightening, deeply self-reflective, and truly life-changing. By Module 8, a whole new world had opened up for me—empowering me to realize, ‘I can still be, still do, and still experience, without feeling the need to explain why.’ This journey taught me how to take my life back and embrace doing more for myself. I’m in take-back mode, and it’s going to transform not just my life, but also how I engage with my grandchildren."

TESTIMONIALS
"Overall, it was a good experience—informative and inspiring. This class is perfect for regaining self-esteem, especially if you’ve been stuck in procrastination. It helps you find the motivation to move forward. Connecting with women from different backgrounds but with similar experiences reminded me that I’m not alone. Most importantly, it helped me believe in myself again."
