Changes: The one constant in life is
CHANGE. It is an on-going process,

The loss of her sight, then the loss of her first husband to cancer, are
only two examples of her life experiences that have given her the tools to speak
with expertise. Her presentation
will present a poignant perspective of coping with and an insight into dealing
with change.
Finding the advantages in this reality, will propel your audience to

-
Insurance: The insurance industry is
a ‘natural fit’ for Joan!
After the loss of a spouse at the young age of 36, she learned the
importance of being insured and being prepared.
The support from her husband’s policy enabled Joan, a blind, disabled,
single parented widow,
to put a roof over her daughter’s head, was able to put Joy through college and
gave her the financial foundation on which to start her life over. This
reassuring financial support was one of the instrumental tools which lifted Joan
and enabled her to go forward in that positive, productive
direction of inspiring others.
She wrote her autobiography, published in 1994 by HarperCollins, which
eventually became a made for television film for Lifetime! Joan’s appearance at
the Million Dollar Round Table was heralded as one of the most inspiring
presentations in their many distinguished years, and catapulted Joan’s career as
a seasoned speaker.
The Million Dollar Round Table is also featured in the book, and the
movie which continues to be shown around the world!

Women’s Issues: Joan has lived her life as
a widow, single mom, a business woman, a wife, a sister, a girlfriend, a
daughter, … and all
while being disabled … and, like all women, keeping 16 balls in the air
at all times!
Joan targets her women’s conferences and meetings with thought provoking
insights into ‘pulling up your boots straps’ and getting on with it….. All with
a smile and a glint in her eye. From the poignancy of life to the silliness of a
moment… from laughter to tears, Joan’s keynote at her many women’s conferences
has proven to be the highlight of the day!
