FROM MISCELLANEOUS TO MISS AMERICA
This humorous story of a small town girl who makes good is a consistent audience favorite. Shirley was a quiet, introverted young girl who suddenly awakened to the fact that she could BE SOMEBODY!! This prevalent philosophy of life that is so popular in today's society sounds so right, but does not always equate happiness and success. Shirley takes her own life journey of being a wife, mother, and professional woman and skids to a jolting realization! What makes most of us happy is the ability to make a lasting impression on generations to come. This presentation is always well received by old and young and is especially appropriate as a luncheon keynote or a spouse event.

FROSTBIT OR FIRED UP?
The motivation in our lives is the "grit" within us, enabling us to tackle the impossible when everyone else is telling us to give up. In a world that always has "an exception to the rule," it is imperative to never give up and take the easy way, but to continually point ourselves in the direction of productivity, growth, and achievement. Shirley's story of motivation is one of grit, growth, and accomplishment. The audience will learn how to ignite the power of motivation with these questions:

• Where does it all begin?
• What can spark it?
• What sustains it?
• How do you give it away?

BEING THE BEST
To be the very best that one can be requires motive, determination, and a plan! We all have gifts that will propel us to the top if we recognize those assets and capitalize upon them. And yet, success is not always defined in purely professional terms, but also in relational terms. We are all products of the choices that we have made in life. Shirley will examine different aspects of success with humor and candor for the top performer in a fast paced and high expectation world.

BIG SMILES! BIG IDEAS! BLANK CHECKS!
Putting our lives in proper perspective is not always a pleasant or easy task. But it is a necessary investment of time if we want to enjoy life as it was intended for us to. While the world screams for us to reach for the stars and be fulfilled by applause and accolades, what we really need to examine is where our treasures really lay. Using the pomp and circumstance of Miss America, Shirley can relate how busy people in our busy world struggle to grab all the brass rings! Describing the successful person will include some very interesting, challenging, humorous, and flexible twists from a personal perspective.

PERSONALITY PRISMS
This presentation will give the listener a clear understanding of the four basic personality styles of people. Shirley will communicate why one personality is focused on control, another on recognition, the other on accuracy, and still another on stability. This oration allows one to spot strengths and weaknesses of each nature, while learning to curb the flaws and encouraging the positives of each personality. The listener will develop an ability to discern the dominant natures of one's self and develop a greater sensitivity to others. An important tool in interactive relationships will be cultivated.
