COURSE: 

Matters Of The Heart: A Guide To Balancing Life & Care Giving

Most of you know I started my business 14 years ago, writing my first book 12 years ago.
Most of you may not know why.
I made the decision 17 years ago to step down from life in corporate America and find a job that would allow me to be available to my aging parents.  Dad had already experienced a mild heart attack and none of my siblings lived near by.

It was a difficult decision that altered the next 16 years of my life. And, with the addition of another elder - my step-grandmother that was six months older than my Mom - it's a book waiting to be written. But, even through all the trials and experiences, I wouldn't trade one moment of that rich time with my parents. Sadly, my Mom passed March 20th and the care providing aspect of my life has ended.

But the lessons I learned need to be shared.
The physical and emotional aspects of care giving are many, both to the aging and the provider.  This journey is full of life changing, life altering questions that have never been asked nor answered at that point in our lives.

When do you intervene in your parent's driving? 

How do you get involved in your parent's
medical care & life caring decisions? 

When do you become a parent of your parents? 

How do you protect your parent's finances
and living environment? 

And, in the midst of it all, how do you maintain
your sense of sanity?  

I can just hear my Mom and Dad chuckling at that last question and saying, "Yours or Ours?"

This is beyond the scope of QuickBooks, beyond the scope of Embezzlement, but entirely within the realm of my expertise.  Armed with a degree in psychology, a business financial background, and sixteen full years of care giving, your attendees receive step by step checklists of what to talk about with parents or children, what to expect, along with worst and best case scenarios.

These tangible lessons have the appeal of a full three hour course to an unlimited general audience or scaled down for a keynote address or a study club.

This journey is full of questions.  Been there, done that.
Your attendees will laugh, and maybe cry, as they learn concrete ways to guide their loved ones into their elder years, both physically and emotionally, and to embrace what can be a rewarding role.
