Presented with the Best Seminar Award by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Annual Conference, Dallas, TX. Children’s book, “Adventures at Green Apple Acres”, Book One, received the Literacy Select, Children’s Book Award from Executive Women International (EWI) for their Leadership Conference and Annual Meeting in Dallas, TX, 2012, and the same award for the second time, for Book Two, in San Diego, CA, 2013…first time ever an author has received this award twice.

HERE ARE A FEW OF THE SPEAKER TOPICS:

The Loopy Path of Life

Your Expressway to Opportunity

Think you missed out when you didn’t get what you wanted at some stage of your career (or personal life}? Think again, with a new perspective! When something you want doesn’t work out, don’t sit back and lay low. Instead shake yourself up, expand and use what you learned to achieve and receive something even better. Don’t crumple and fall…stumble and prevail!

- - Your greatest treasures and discoveries, including gaining strength of character, could be in what you DID NOT receive even when you thought you really (really, really, really!) wanted it…or wanted to keep it in your life.
  - Stay positive, move forward…turn disappointment into opportunity.
  - And more!

Awaken the Author Within

Achieving Your Dreams

Reflecting on her own author journey, as well as the dreams that others share with her about making their dreams come true and even becoming an author themselves someday, Cynthia discovered that this journey was about more than just becoming an author. Achieving this goal took insight, skills and the stamina that she learned from her life experiences, both professional and personal. What does it take to succeed in any venture, and what is holding you back?

- - Never hope harder than you work.
  - Build a marketing/planning approach into your book…and, your life!
  - And more!

Horse Sense

Nature’s Leadership and Life Lessons

Animals and nature can teach us amazing leadership and life lessons…all we have to do is take the time to observe this pure and honest form of communication, using “their own unique language.” Establishing harmony is critical to survival in all forms of nature. Learn from species older than mankind…these principles can be applied to human experiences, too…with great success!

- - “My name is WHOA, DAMMIT, what’s yours?” two horses talking to each other…negative thoughts, words and actions will eventually make you think they are true.
  - Actions Speak Louder than Words…Especially When You are Riding a Runaway Horse, or Living a Runaway Life…prepare for crisis in advance.
  - And more!

Achieving Your Dreams

Student Assemblies & Youth Group Presentations

A 35-minute PowerPoint presentation that encourages young people to have dreams and achieve their goals. Using Cynthia’s own life as an example, this presentation addresses hard work, overcoming fear, finding your own unique path in life and having the courage to embrace it.

- - You can be anything you want to be! DREAM BIG! I DID!
  - Imagination! An important ingredient in succeeding in anything in life…and in achieving your dreams.
  - Learn the process of putting a book together…who is involved, what does it take?
  - How does putting a book together relate to any successful effort?
  - And more!
