"Wow!! You were definitely a highlight at our Central Region DECA Leadership Conference! Your program was a hit! Both students and advisors raved about your sessions." --Patty Hendrickson, Winners Circle Inc.

Get A Clue!
This dynamic leadership program combines humor with a thought-provoking message that shows students and adults that we CAN achieve dreams. By reinforcing the concept that we all possess personal power, participants learn that we are in charge of our choices. Believing in ourselves, developing our character and making positive choices reaffirms that we DO have power. This "take charge" program gives inspiration and energy to everyone attending.

Peacemakers In A Violent World
In recent years, homes, schools and communities have become increasingly more violent. Gone are the days of fighting with fists; now more powerful weapons are used. If you want to transform yourself, break the bonds of violence and build the future for others, you need to hear this program. Harriet will give you skills and attitudes that can positively change a non-caring community into a productive one. Conflict resolution, anger management, bullying and creative problem solving are included in this hard-hitting, no-holds barred program.

Are You Dying For A Drink?
In America, drinking and driving is a leading cause of death for youth ages 15 to 19. Speed, reckless driving and non-use of safety belts are all contributing factors. Using her experience, Harriet combines knowledge, humor and real life stories to encourage students to buckle up, not ride with a drinking driver and, most importantly, to "party with style." (Partying and style do NOT equal consuming ANY alcohol or other substances.) This program is excellent for Prom week.

"Harriet is one of the easiest speakers to work with and her presentations pack a punch that keeps her audience actively listening, participating and taking away a great message." --Jennifer Marwick, MA CSADP, Prevention Coordinator, IL Alcoholism & Drug Dependence Association
