How to
Combine Estrogen and Testosterone without an Explosion
This
light-hearted, interactive presentation looks at the
obvious, and not-so-obvious, differences between the genders
in everyday life. It focuses on showing how being different
is good, more interesting, although sometimes frustrating.

The Power of You
This
presentation focuses on what women’s real power is in both
the marketplace and workplace. It will take a historic look
at women’s climb to prominence by examining how education,
economic clout and the media’s portrayal of women have
shifted. Women have altered the political scene, the
workplace, manufacturers’ product designs and retail
practices. Women will be energized, informed and empowered
by this dialogue.
Women Are Green, Men Not So Much
Being
Green isn’t about envy, but dedication, education and caring
about the planet we live on. Of course, this isn’t
accomplished just by women, as Al Gore is certainly a name
everyone would associate with global warming and helping to
preserve our environment. Both women and men are interested
in learning more and doing more for our ecosystem. However,
like every other aspect of our lives, men and women view the
process and results differently. Learn why women are
purchasing more, staying at hotels and buying cosmetics that
are green. Hear what some leaders are doing, how greening
can affect you financially and surprise items you probably
never thought about being green.
