Carolyn's Speaking Topics
It’s
Your Movie:
Create One Captivating Scene After Another
What
makes a great movie? Think about your favorite films and you’re
bound to see that they have some fundamental things in common like a compelling
story, fascinating characters, an evocative setting and a powerful message.
Don’t you wish your life could be like that? As Carolyn Strauss
explains, there’s absolutely no reason it can’t! Just as a
film producer has the power to make a movie whatever he or she wants it
to be, you have the control and vision to shape the life experience you
want to have.
In this unique and interactive presentation, Carolyn applies the movie
metaphor to your life, allowing you to see with striking clarity how to
make decisions and choices that let your life unfold in a series of exciting
and rewarding scenes. Step by step Carolyn reveals her elegant framework
for the choices and decisions you make as your life’s “producer.”
With Carolyn’s guidance you will determine your movie’s genre;
establish the main character’s motivation; choose a setting; select
your co-stars; fill your movie with Oscar-winning moments; and learn how
to listen to the critics with an open mind. In the process, Carolyn will
inspire insights that will help you:
- Identify “success” for yourself
- Connect to your passions every day
- Acknowledge your natural talents and leverage them at every opportunity
- Affirm the meaning in your work and personal vision
- Act from your values and create boundaries that support you
It’s
Your Movie:
Seeing Life through a Female Lens
Women
have come so far in the past 50 years. We are corporate executives, Presidents,
executive assistants, mothers, volunteers, wives, partners... and we're
exhausted! Why? Because along the way, the world kept insisting that in
order to be a success in all of these roles, you had to compromise, if
not totally sacrifice your femininity. In this inspirational and empowering
presentation, Carolyn Strauss strips away this myth to reveal the uplifting
truth: that embracing your femininity doesn’t hinder your success,
it fuels it.
Join Carolyn as she vividly walks you through a woman’s life in
the current paradigm and shares strategies for a new way of living, where
being feminine allows you to do it all and have plenty of energy left
for yourself. Let Carolyn show you in her uniquely engaging and heartfelt
way how to:
- Access your power by using your natural feminine instincts
- Attract and accept support at work and in your personal lives
- Identify and address the energy drains that deplete your physical and emotional resources
- Experience passion and feel energized without fear of consequence
Say What You Mean Before You Open Your Mouth
Create a Personal Image with Impact
Who do you see when you look in the mirror? The answer is obvious. But whom do other people see when you walk into a room full of strangers? Are you sure it’s the same person? Well, if you’ve ever heard your own voice on a recording, chances are you found yourself wondering, “Is that really what I sound like?” The point is that the image others perceive may not always be the image you want to project. In this entertaining, empowering and interactive presentation, Carolyn Strauss reveals and demonstrates practical, highly effective techniques for creating a personal image that has precisely the impact you want, even before you utter a single word.
Drawing on 20-years experience as a top plus-size model at the Ford Modeling Agency in New York City, as well as her entrepreneurial success, fashion expertise, and television and public appearances, Carolyn will teach you how to:
- Enter a room “on purpose” in a way that conveys confidence, approachability and a positive attitude
- Strategically select your clothing to present an image appropriate to your purposes and the situation
- Use body language that puts others at ease and quickly establishes a comfortable rapport with everyone you meet
- Incorporate touching into your interpersonal interactions in a way that is non-threatening and facilitates relaxed conversation
How
Do You Know You’ve Arrived
If You Don’t Know Where You’re Headed?
Direct and Create Your Own Path to Success
Have you ever stopped in the middle of doing something and asked yourself, “Why am I doing this?” For most people it’s a recurring question. Because day-to-day responsibilities and the bombardment of demands on your time and physical and emotional resources leaves you with no time and energy to formulate goals, solidify your sense of purpose, or focus on your true heart’s desire and where you’re headed in life.
In this rejuvenating and interactive presentation, using a simple yet effective strategy, Carolyn will help you:
-
Determine anew or reconnect with what is important to you, professionally and personally, both in the long-term and short-term
-
Set the kind of goals that will lead to genuine satisfaction and reward when they are achieved
-
Create a clear path for reaching your goals
-
Recognize moments of “sympathetic magic” in your life and understand how they serve your goals
-
Discover how to reconcile what others want for you, with what you want for yourself
