Empowering your life and your business through highly effective time management.

•  Do you have a never ending “To-Do” list and feel like you are playing “Beat the Clock” as you run a losing race to get it all done everyday?

•  Do you find yourself looking for more time even though you know there are only 24 hours in every day?

•  Do your priorities get ignored or displaced because of distractions or interruptions?

If time won't change for you, perhaps it is you who must master your time.

This presentation gives you practical tips, tools and the truth necessary to triumph over your time.

Now you can set goals, live by your priorities, eliminate procrastination, and get much more done in less time than ever before.  

Good Cop, Bad Cop, No Cop
Stop enforcing and start leading your employees.

•  Is your job to manage people, but you end up policing them into performance?

•  Do you wonder how much more effective you would be as a manager if you could spend less time reacting to what your employees do or don't do, and more time leading them to the next level?

•  Are you tired of playing cop and would like to have your employees own and perform in their roles?

As an entrepreneur, being able to control things and wear every “hat” in your company has served you well.    However, doing it all becomes impossible for you at some point in your company's growth.   This is when you need your employees to own and perform in their roles without you micro managing them or stepping in to take over.   But how?

From start up to rapid growth, Suzy Girard-Ruttenberg has worked with many business owners on this important conversion from “hovering control freak” to ”effective leader”. Now, in a high-impact, condensed format Suzy shares with you how the most successful business owners convert their compulsion to control into their employees' commitment to be accountable.

This presentation gives you practical tips, and tools that will have your employees performing and you leading more effectively.

Speeches For Women Only:

Got Guilt?
A modern career women's guide to giving up the guilt and getting on with it!

We are multi-dimensional career women striving to compete in a man's world, and often in a man's profession. We want to have it all, be it all, provide it all to our businesses, our families, our community, and maybe, if there is any left over…ourselves. What is the reward for our race to perfection?   Guilt, stress, and questioning if we do enough and are enough.

What if we could give up the guilt, build powerful careers, successful businesses and grow healthy families without the stress, worry and feelings of doubt and guilt that plague so many of us so much of the time?  

Internationally known executive business and women's life design coach, Suzy Girard-Ruttenberg has coached hundreds of business owners and thousands of women.   In her 15+ years of public speaking this topic has proven to be one of the most popular, most requested topics.  

“ We are in the midst of a nationwide guilt glut,” says Girard. “ I have never seen more talented, driven, multi-dimensional women so racked with worry even as they are afforded such enormous opportunities.   One thing they all want is a way to be successful without forfeiting their sanity in the process.”

This speech tackles the challenges faced by women in demanding professions who are expected to deliver “like the guys” while simultaneously maintaining the roles our mother and grandmothers filled. This presentation is geared for that woman committed to balancing her commitment to her career with the rest of her life, and without the guilt!

Other speech titles designed for women include:

 “What Now?”
A guide to reinvention for women 40+.

“Our Mother's Daughters or our Daughter's Mothers ”
The power of choice and design in raising our children (and ourselves).

“The Empowered Life”
Choosing that which has chosen you.
