herself to finding the specific needs and intentions

and research specifically relevant for your audience. Debra

audience, often speaking with several members in advance in
order to incorporate their story during the program. As a
ten year radio and television host, Dr. Peppers has a knack
for spontaneity and interaction with the audience. She will

motivation, Debra is often invited back year after year by

Stress Management
In this fast-paced society, in which we live, everyone
needs practical tools and guidelines for getting or keeping
the momentum going. Dr. Peppers has the right prescription
by incorporating both research and humor, while leaving the
audience with real guidelines for personal as well as
professional application. Learning how our physiological and
intellectual responses are often dictated by our emotions,
we learn to realize the enormous amount of time and energy
we spend on the petty things that don't really matter. Dr.
Peppers incorporates the "urgent vs. the important",
rekindling enthusiasm, and practical tools for not
internalizing situations. Most content, peaceful, joyous
people have several traits in common, and most are acquired
not innate. The audience will learn how to play upon their
strengths, find their niche, and develop the style best
suited to them to enjoy where they are on the way to where
they’re going!
Communication
We often hear the saying, “ It’s not what you say but how
you say it.” Dr. Peppers demonstrates in this program that
both are important! In today’s society it is more crucial
than ever to develop plans to be proactive rather than
reactive in any interaction with others, whether in the
workplace, at home or in the community. Dr. Peppers teaches
the audience have strategies for remaining professional and
calm, while responding with confidence. She also shares how
to establish positive relationships, to de-personalize and
redirect conversation when needed. In our fast paced
and highly technical world, Debra emphasizes that both
written and oral communication must be addressed. She
stresses the importance of. both verbal and non-verbal
communication “do’s and don’ts” in the areas of tone, body
language, facial expression and gestures. We all have areas
of communication where we can improve and in today’s society
it is crucial we learn to integrate them both personally and
professionally.
Leadership
Like it or not, each of us is called to be a leader in
some capacity-in the home, the workplace, or the community.
If leaders are "born" that way why do so many who achieve
leadership status seem the most unlikely? Most great leaders
have several traits in common: and most are acquired not
innate. In this motivational presentation Debra teaches the
audience how to play upon their strengths, find their niche,
and develop the style of leadership best suited to them.
From an office worker to the president of a company, from a
teacher leading a classroom to the superintendent leading a
district, the measure of one's success as a leader, is not
in what you get others to do but how well you can lead them
to do it. Dr. Peppers encourages the audience to
realize that the particular leadership role we each hold, is
both a responsibility and an exciting opportunity to
encourage others by example as we all achieve a higher
degree of success!
Health/Wellness
All of us sometime feel like our lives are chaotic and out of control. But we cannot properly function when we are constantly overwhelmed and overextended. Dr. Peppers compares our hectic lives to a balancing act as she shares practical information for much needed relief. Whether you’re a stay at home mom managing a household, a career person balancing work and family, Debra presents keys that will help you learn to dissect your time and as you value experiences, and find time to live with more joy, vitality and peace in the midst of a chaotic world. Debra will provide you with the keys to reduce stress and find greater balance in your complicated, stressful life. Most of us are more able to help our friends and family than we are ourselves and need to bring ourselves back into the equation. Even when we think we have no time, me must begin to attend to our forgotten needs and longings. Dr. Peppers teaches we must balance our responsibilities to others with responsibility to ourselves, obligations with enjoyment, work with play, and activity with rest. The audience is inspired to reduce stress, restore sanity, and find greater balance and fulfillment in everyday life.
