Fee Range $4, 200 – $5,700 – keynotes $2,500 – two seminars delivered the same day Lorraine's Most Requested Programs: Keynotes The Present Of The Past An astounding presentation that has uncovered, for many, the source of their value system, actions, treatment of others, and personality traits. Whether addressing a group of people that are growing through a transition, a sales team, or high-level executives, Lorraine’s approach to directing you to take a valuable inward look will leave a lasting and meaningful impression. The View From Here When observing the surroundings of your clients, patients, piers, or employees what do you see? Wouldn’t it be amazing to discover that you stand in the same place and look at the same objects, but see two totally different things? Delivered in “story-telling style” this presentation calls for you to dig beneath the surface of the visual to understand others. In these times of great diversity, whether referring to age, color, religion, gender, or simply style, having an open-eyed awareness of the reasoning of others is not just an asset, it is a must. Tackle Technology and Win - Learning Without Fear! If you are over forty, you were born with a “techno-disadvantage”. Bad news? No, just an opportunity to conquer. We were brought up with the lessons of not touching things we did not understand. As a result we carried that into our world of today which requires us to touch and use technology that we just do not understand. Lorraine not only focuses on how this has impacted us, but what steps we can take to totally dispel the fear of learning how to use these “foreign objects” and applications. In addition she instills the confidence to try while making it a fun filled experience. It has been said that she “just makes learning simple.” You can do it! Let me help. A simple remark from an “authority figure” can change your life. If you are fortunate, it will have a positive impact on your life. But then there are other times – the result is negative. In this very personal presentation Lorraine takes you through one of those remarks showing how it temporarily ruined her life. But you cannot stop there because there are lessons to be learned from a downfall, and a rebound. There are people that enter your life and offer help. There are victories that could not have been experienced without having been defeated. There is a new person that emerges – that is the victory. Hear how this impacted her life and contributed to the many she is able to help today. Technical Seminars Harmony Creates A Great Tune Have you ever wondered what those “super technical” terms meant? “Object Linking and Embedding” and “Integrating applications” may have little meaning to you when it comes to Microsoft Word and some other applications. Well, let’s replace those words with one understandable word – “Harmony”. In Harmony Creates a Great Tune we examine how to effectively use Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Outlook and PowerPoint with Microsoft Word. After all, once information is typed, it should be accessible and usable without having to be reentered. Never again worry about data being out of date when you send out a form letter - it can update automatically. Magic? No. Harmony! I Wish I Had Known That Yesterday! – Excel As Simple As It Gets Whether you are trying to automatically adjust column widths, format spreadsheets, create templates to use over and over again, create and analyze an Excel database, or import data from a package to use for the creating of graphs and charts, you will see how simplified it can be, and how permanently it is ‘branded” into your mind. This seminar is intended to create a comfort level among those that are relatively new to productively using Excel or for those who have needed to “fake it ‘till you make it”. Develop the understanding that you have desired to have on the basics of Excel while learning some of the advanced techniques and shortcuts that are easy to master. I Wish I Had Known That Yesterday! – Microsoft Word - Increasing Your Productivity and Enhancing Your Documents Think of the many times someone shared a tip or technique with you a day after you lost an hour trying to figure it out. Something as basic as properly aligning words in a column, finding a document that appeared to be lost on the system, controlling the way your text and pictures relate to each other, or typing the name Röndi and not struggling to insert special symbols. This information as it relates to using Microsoft Word has saved hours for many, and sanity for others. Don’t miss it! Stop the PowerPoint Madness Please What are the concerns that you have when making a professional presentation? How do you effectively use a presentation system such as PowerPoint? What are some presentation pitfalls and how do you avoid them? How do you develop an interactive presentation? “Stop the PowerPoint Madness Please” addresses these and other questions regarding professional presentations when using PowerPoint as a presentation tool. As we examine how to design and deliver an outstanding presentation we will discuss: « Presentation guidelines and techniques « The creation of meeting notes for distribution « On-line delivery « Branding your presentations « Using data from other sources « And more… Would The Real Answer Please Stand Out! How wonderful it is to be able to capture columns and columns, and rows upon rows of data. Or is it? What do you do with it once you have captured it? What tools are available to help you analyze it? We might as well admit it – no useful analysis means unusable data. Would The Real Answer Please Stand Out demonstrates several techniques of recording and examining data that we capture in Microsoft Excel. Pivot tables, pictorial charts, viewing methods, and data consolidation are just some of the many methods of analyzing Excel data. This presentation covers these and more. Unless you have used these techniques, you have missed the “greatness” of Excel as a database. Testimonials: “Lorraine Stephens brings words to life. Her exquisite manner of presentation is matched only by her command of the English language. When Lorraine speaks you may experience humor, drama, or instruction…but never boredom”. Becky Sansbury, M.Div., Independent USANA Associate, Integrated Wellness Concepts, Inc. Resources for Optimal Living Beth and Julie really appreciated your technical assistance and support.

I wouldn’t dare miss a Toastmasters meeting when she is a speaker. Once you hear her you will agree. Lee Tyler, President Cardinal Club Toastmasters Club 8201 Thank you for solving my Microsoft Excel mystery? I wish I had called you first. You could have saved me time and money. I had exhausted my proprietory resources without finding a solution. They told me it could not be done. You set me straight in minutes!” Kevin Lunsford, CFM, Financial Advisor, Merrill Lynch
