Just Dying For A Drink?

In America, drinking and driving is a leading cause of death for teens age 15 to 19. Speed, reckless driving and unused safety belts are all contributing factors. Through “Just Dying for a Drink?” Harriet combines stats and real life stories to encourage students to buckle up, choose not to ride with a drinking driver and, most importantly, to “party with style.” (Partying and style do NOT equal consuming alcohol or other substances.) This program is excellent for prom week.

Why Do I Feel So Fat?

Looking "perfect" is something many young women strive for. In today's society, the media project body images young women try to buy into. Commonly, young women feel "fat" even when they are below recommended body weights. This program shows young women how body types are made to be different, why it is important to live a healthy lifestyle, and most importantly how to love you. This program is beneficial to women of all ages.

This dynamic leadership program combines humor with a thought-provoking message to inspire and energize participants toward these goals.

Programs for Adults

What's Got You Going?
How do you recapture your passion and invigorate your desire to be a more positive influence? If you feel you have lost sight of why you do or even how you do what you do, you should hear this message and rediscover your commitment to yourself and your lifestyle. This program is excellent for educators!

Performance Building
In this content-rich program, Harriet leads you through the steps to create a more effective work team. How to use your vision, knowledge and leadership skills to strengthen your employee's talents and willingness to achieve high performance are integral parts of this program. To reach performance goals, you must master simple techniques to create loyal, hard working employees. This program is essential for managers who need to build cooperation and minimize conflict among employees.

Trendsetters
Working with younger employees or reaching teenagers can be difficult for any adult. Trends and dynamics change so quickly, adults just can't keep up. Harriet will give insights into the clash of the cultures, current trends, and how to cope with change. What at first seems daunting, Harriet will break into pieces and leave you with information you may immediately apply in the workplace, community council or at home.

Women's Programs
We Fix Stupid

Does it feel like everyone wants a piece of you? Everyone expects you to fix all their problems? Do you feel like you give to everyone, but no one gives to you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Harriet has developed a program just for you. Women are natural nurturers, and this gets us in trouble! Learning boundaries, taking care of ourselves, and teaching others how to treat us are concepts women have the hardest time learning. Harriet has audiences howling with laughter one minute, and wiping away tears the next. Every women's group, regardless of age or marital status, can benefit by hearing the message, "We Fix Stupid".

Just Be U (Teen Focused)

From the time we are little girls, we are shown images of what a beautiful woman looks like. We are taught that we should try to be beautiful, too. We dress up, we put on make-up, we play with our hair, we read the magazines, and we try. We try very hard. But, we never know when it’s enough. No one ever says, “You’ve reached the goal! You can stop trying now.” So we keep on reaching for perfection. We’d like for someone to tell us when we are beautiful enough.

This presentation will help young women recognize their true beauty and esteem. Beyond just their physical appearance, they will dig deep and uncover their strengths, their value, and their worth. The journey of self-discovery will set them free. They will learn to appreciate their own unique beauty and to discard the myth that everyone else is better than they are.

Just Serve

Harriet’s service learning programs encourage a new generation of student leaders to serve with substance. Rather than simply showing up for the ‘ta-dah’ moment, she challenges students to reach out to others and make a sustainable change by asking, “How can we serve you best?”

Just Be U (Adult Focused)

Your life is messed up. Guess what? Everyone else’s is too. For some reason, we keep thinking that everyone else has it all together, so we pretend that we do too. I think it’s time for us to stop pretending.

It’s a hopeless journey when you are trying to be superwoman. I know. I tried for years. I tried to be the best mom. The perfect wife. The finest friend. The worthiest career woman. I wanted to be everything and save the world. Then one day, I realized that I was miserable, and everyone around me had known it for years. Everyone but me. It was time to make a change.

Are you ready to take off your costume and hang up your cape? This presentation will help. Take a deep breath, and let’s get started.

Just Be Unforgettable

Just Be Uplifting

Connecting with younger employees and/or teenagers can be difficult for any adult. Trends and dynamics change so quickly, and it’s hard to keep up. Through “Just Be Uplifting,” Harriet offers insights into the clash of the cultures, current trends and how to cope with change. You will leave this program with information you can apply in your workplace and community.
