PROGRAMS
The best reason to book a speaker is because your goals and their expertise are a match. Programs by Juliet Funt are a mixture of human development business content and humorous entertainment. Peruse the following titles and descriptions to see if our products and your objectives go together.

Overcommitted, Overwhelmed and Over It!
Success Skills for the Blisteringly Busy
Is your to-do list a novel? Is your email inbox jam-packed every morning? Do you find yourself wishing for a fire drill just so you can step away from your desk for 10 minutes?
Don't worry. You are not alone. Life is getting busier and more demanding for everyone these days. In fact, the #1 business
lifestyle complaint in
the world today is having “too much to do with too little time.” And those time-management books aren't much help because they just give you ways to juggle all the work causing the stress. They don't say much about how to actually reduce the stress itself.
What
would you give to feel relaxed and light-hearted as you face the challenge of
this taxing atmosphere where the pressure never stops increasing? Get ready to
smile, because Juliet Funt is about to take you on a fast-paced, story
packed, hilarious ride to right where the answers lie. Enjoy stories of how real people have rediscovered the excitement of tackling the challenges of work and savoring those precious moments with family and friends. Laugh at the absurdities of the business world and how it drives some people bonkers. Learn the simple but powerful strategies that enable you to manage your in-box, juggle a dozen projects, and shift your point of view from panic to acceptance and from acceptance to fulfillment.
If your CFO isn't convinced, remind him that American companies spend $150
billion every year just on stress-related disability. That's not counting the wasted time from tension, the lost productivity from low morale, and the costs of higher employee turnover.
Juliet will help you change the way you think about your goals so you can prioritize the smart way, be more productive, and clarify what's really important. You'll discover...
 |
How to define real success in the relentless "Age of
Never Enough." |
 |
Commonsense ways to cope with the pace and quantity of your daily tasks. |
 |
The secret for keeping White Space on your calendar -- it's not a myth! |
 |
Plus, lots and lots of laughter to lift
your mood TODAY! |
This funny, inspiriring, and energetic program is a great way to kick off or close your conference with a perfectly balanced combination of feel-good fun and instantly applicable tools.

The Magic is in Your Mouth
(Overcommitted, Overwhelmed and Over It!: Part Two)
As a follow-up to addressing the stress and overwhelm in
your environment, why not focus in on improving communication?
A poor communication environment piles on more stress than
almost any other single factor. Consider this:
Are you being starved? Maybe:
because clarity, directness and useful feedback are
hard to find these days. Are you being poisoned?
Maybe: because gossip, over-promising, and gender
based misunderstandings are just a few of the verbal
habits that slip by even the finest communicators and drain
the pocketbooks of all companies. Luckily, The Magic
is in Your Mouth. This morale boosting session
of humor and stories will keep them entertained
but is also laced with practical and innovative ideas to
make the most of every word you choose.

Child
or Trophy? (Educators'
Special)
An Exploration of College, Grades and Excellence
At what price do we strive for our children to achieve the status of the exceptional? From third graders with tutors, to fifth graders with ulcers, the pressure is ON.
When our kids finish college and look back on what led up to it, will they feel they made a good investment of their time, energy and hard won battles for consummate excellence? Will their capacity for joy, stillness and camaraderie be as strong as their SAT scores? We hope so, but hope is not enough. Preparing our children for a whole life, including what follows college, requires that we weigh the motives, prices and payoffs of all the moves we make.

Sacrifice either, and no amount of insightful content will ever reach the ears of your listeners. Modules may include, but are not limited to...

"The speaker is stranded where???"
Juliet is a great resource when those convention planning snafus get you down. Her improvisational theater experience allows her to customize material on the spot. Keep her in mind when you have a speaker cancellation or travel delay.
