Eli Talk

My ELI talk is important to anyone who is a parent, or works with parents, or hopes to be a parent --because we can write our own manual.  We can know our values…we can articulate our values…and we can make decisions with those values clearly in mind and get the outcome we desire.  I don’t want everyone to parent like I do…but I do want every parent to know that they have unique strengths and skills to make this ride so much more fun!

Luncheon Presentation

“Dear Stress, Let’s Break Up!”

That’s how I began a presentation I gave at the EPWNG (Exclusive Professional Women’s Networking Group) annual luncheon that featured four presentations on the topic, “Unstress for Success: Tools for Shifting Stress into Power.”

Centering Class at Northwestern Medical Group

Meeting with expectant parents as part of their Centering program to provide guidance on ‘what to expect when you bring baby home’.  During pregnancy the focus is on maternal and fetal health and preparations for a healthy delivery. But what comes next? My conversation with moms and dads provided an opportunity for them to consider everything from their wishes for their unborn child to managing grandparents to introducing siblings to baby.
