This week is shaping up to be a wonderful week. I have the opportunity to speak at the WIN Symposium tomorrow evening. The Symposium is an annual event, held by Women In Networking, where women can network, attend workshops and visit a variety of exhibitors to find ways of improving their opportunities. Net proceeds benefit the Healthy Start Coalition of Pinellas County and The American Cancer Society. It promises to be quite interesting, I have certainly enjoyed it in years past.
Now, I was with a group of friends on Saturday night and mentioned the Symposium. One of the gentlemen told me to “break a leg”. This made us all laugh, but it also helped to remind me that part of this month’s theme is superstitions. So, I want to reassure you that I will not be carrying a rabbits foot with me, wearing any lucky charms or keep salt in my pocket during the talk. I will however, look into the eyes of my audience, speak to them from my heart and have a wonderful time sharing what I have to offer, in the hopes that my information will help someone walk away feeling just a little bit better about themselves.
As I always do, I will use a little bit of self-hypnosis to calm and center myself before I speak. I hope to have audience participation, it is more fun that way. When they leave, I hope that new affirmations have been created by each attendee, that will take them through the next few days, weeks and months into a journey of fun and discovery. It is my goal that each person feels more self empowered as well. I’ll let you know how it goes!
Don’t look them in the eyes, look them in the eye. Something I’ve learned (and I *bet* you know this already) is that it’s much easier to look someone in one of their eyes than trying to do it in both at the same time.
Tip of the day – how to win a staring contest 🙂
LOL @ Ken
Good luck Debbie. I’m sure you’ll knock their socks off!
You will be great. I have no doubt.
Well you did a great job….
I attended the event today and your workshop and thought you did an excellent job.
I also listened to your Serenity Hypnosis Audio mp3 and found it to be very relaxing (except when the dog jumped in my lap – lol)
I spoke with you regarding hypnosis for pain management and I am looking forward to meeting with to see if we break through many years of terrible pain.
It was a pleasure meeting you and great job at the WIN Symposium!
@ Ken
I forgot and looked in both eyes! Rats, foiled again.

@ ms. eleni,

@ toni,
