Seeing Beyond
Many overlook the true riches of life, failing to embrace the day. Eyes that merely see are common, but rare are the eyes that “see beyond.”
Everyone has something in his or her life to see beyond. Life’s challenges and disappointments often blur our vision and cause us to lose focus on our journey. Gail will help you to see beyond the mundane of daily routine, schedules, and work. Instead, you will be challenged to see the potential, purpose, and promise of the position you currently hold.
Three areas Gail will address in the small word “SEE” are:
S- Seizing the day knowing that it is the preparation for tomorrow’s promotion. You have been strategically positioned for this hour.
E - Equip and enhance your skills, gifts, potential and purpose. She will discuss practical skills and ideas that will make it easy to go to the next level.
E - Enjoying the journey. Correcting attitudes and recognizing blind spots will be the keys to moving forward. There is more beyond what you can see.
Gail McWilliams contends, “When you choose to look past the horizon… the sky is the limit.” Don’t be surprised if she asks you, “What do YOU see?”
Create, Connect, Course Correct
Are you talking but feel like no one is listening? What is your measurement of success? Are you lacking inspiration?
What three elements could you add that would enhance your creativity and communication skills?
In this presentation, Gail talks about:
• Creativity: Capturing the heart of your listening audience by mastering word pictures, stories and memorable points.
• Connect: Connecting with any audience, even if it is an audience of one, is a skill but easily done once you see its value. You will have to first master one other tool that you might have overlooked.
• Course Correct: This sounds more painful than it has to be. You will consider what, how, and where the correction needs to be made and then provide practical help for setting you on a course of successful communication skills.
This presentation will present the concept of acknowledging and correcting any relationships, business ideas, and habits that are stunting your growth, creativity and ability to connect to others.
Hope for Life
In this presentation, Gail McWilliams will share her life story and her inspiring journey of overcoming challenges and loss. Her joyful spin with her disarming humor will motivate any audience to see that nothing is impossible when you live with purpose. She contends “hope always sees.”
Gail’s gripping story of how she gradually lost her eyesight while having her children impacts any audience, compelling others to live with vision and not merely by what they see. Gail states, “When you have vision you can see even in the darkest places of life.”
In this presentation Gail will cover:
• The Heart of the issue.
• Obstacles and what to do with them.
