I try to do a good job of posting my speaking engagements on my social media platforms, in the order they are upcoming, but the period between late April and mid-June is giving me a run for my money - especially when it comes to "self promotion," which I'm really not that good at. I post my appearances in support of the organizations that are hosting me, and because I want the public to know that great information and opportunities for learning are available. To that end, I've decided to do this quick blog to show what is coming - and a bit of what has already passed, in case you are interested in exploring video options with those organizations. :)

This is easier than it looks, because I'd already made this list for myself, so it's just a matter of copy/paste and adding the links! I will still try to post, as I always have, but this gives me (and anyone interested) a one-stop reference point! :)

In between these speaking engagements, I have a ton of family events (grandchildren!), also involving travel, so this is a really busy/crazy time for me. There is also the usual slate of meetings and medical appointments sprinkled into all this, so there's that, too. Oh, and I can't forget my coaching sessions and consultations. (Is this TMI?) 🤣 I'm excited about all of it, but just hoping my body can keep up! Anyway, I hope to see as many of you as possible, either virtually or in person, if I'm coming your way. Let me know if I should expect to see you!
Happy Spring and happy researching!
