"Everyone has stressors in their life. Meeting planners are no exception! Does this sound like your life? It's months before your association's annual event, but already you're dreading the tedium of finding a speaker within your budget that can cap off your event and send everyone home raving about it and marking their calendars for the next year. Oh, sure, finding speakers is easy-but which one's going to be easiest to work with, dependable and most of all excellent? How about a professional speaker who has also been a meeting planner? Carol Schlef knows the importance of deadlines for contracts, CEU documentation, and printing. She understands-and cooperates!-when you put a limit on the number of pages for handouts. She'll answer your calls and emails promptly, and she can FIT in a coach-class airline seat without whining! And... she can take whatever amount of time is left at the end of the day and turn in a stellar presentation that opens eyes, inspires, entertains, and gets everyone out on time. All this with or without PowerPoint! Whether you're looking for an entertaining opening or closing keynote from ""The Flamingo Lady"" or needing a lively information-packed workshop from a woman's health educator and lactation consultant, Carol can deliver. For your next conference or staff development day, ""Think Pink""!
