“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed in the things you didn’t do than the things that you did.” Mark Twain
A popular motivational speaker, Joan Anderson likes to think of herself as a cheerleader for change. Having run away from home years ago and lived to write about it Joan finds great pleasure in relating what she learned as she uncovered the raw material person she once was before she started playing the roles that most women were taught to perfect.
She offers one day workshops, three day retreats, and is a sought after speaker for conventions, women’s wellness seminars, and conferences for woman.
One Day Workshops
Possible Subjects
The Second Journey-Every Woman’s Odyssey
Soul Searching by the Sea – A Day to Repair/Regroup/Regenerate/Renew
The Journey Back to Yourself – Mind, Body, Spirit Symposium
Joan tailors her workshops to the particular organization’s needs and desires. She prefers a setting whereby the attendee can have some solo time in nature. The basis for most workshops is a 6 point plan that Joan intuitively came to during her year by the sea. The workshop helps a woman identify her strengths, understand the phase of life she is in, and then prepare to regenerate and renew.
“The first step is to take yourself away,” Joan says, “even if it is just for a day. Any gift of time to oneself will set you on a path of rediscovery.”
