Speaking to Women’s Groups.
RECENTLY I met someone who asked me an unfamiliar question as I gave her a business card. “Are you a speaker?” she asked. My business card says that I am. But not many people ask me that question when I hand one to them. That is peculiar given that many women belong to churches, sororities, book clubs, and they are always looking for someone to talk to their group about something or for some special occasion. I have done both over the decades. The only two mistakes I have made in doing so were 1) Not asking for what I was worth to show up and perform; and 2) Not keeping a written record of every talk, speech, or sermon that I have given over the decades. I have been blessed to do all of the above in several places and for several occasions. The truth of the matter is that I am good and I am always well received. I have also learned that because one performs well is no indication that one will be invited back. After all, groups are always looking for a new face, no matter how good the preceding speaker was. Nonetheless, I thought it would make sense to make a list of some of the topics I am prepared and equipped to talk about. So here’s my short list. Please keep in mind that I am a writer; published author (7 books in multiple genres); a retired college math professor and former high school math teacher; math tutor; former musician; parent and grandparent; former business owner (The Manigault Institute in Stafford, VA - where we successfully prepared hundreds of students for the SAT and ACT. ). By the way our own children received full rides to college and graduate school due to their academic excellence.
