WHY DO WE LOVE CELEBRITY SPEAKERS?
We come up with all sorts of reasons…
Mostly (I think) we want to see…
…what they do that makes the difference.

I’M ABBY HAGYARD
I became a “name” in the 1980’s, thanks to syndicated television.
One minute I was coaching, writing and producing stage shows.
In a blink, I was an iconic TV Mom & a bunch of cartoon heroes.

What did I learn in those whirlwind decades?
Leveraging Change is the key.
Focusing on next steps harnesses momentum.
Keeping one eye on the big picture…
Giving equal time to What’s In It For Them…
Allows us to thrive BECAUSE of Them…
While those who stick with What’s In It For ME…
Struggle and stress just to break even.

Happily for all of us…
I studied this unique shift-ability.
I used it to gain global recognition.
And I can teach YOU how it works!

PIVOTRY IN MOTION

“What does it do… Why does it matter… who does it serve?”
We’ve been told that our “why” defines the goals we choose and the steps we take on the paths to lasting success. And yet… How easily do we forget that the things we learned that allowed us to grow also changed who we are and re-set our priorities? How often do we forge ahead without that all-important gut-check to be sure that the “why” still resonates? When we see how far we’ve come and the ways we’ve grown, we can’t help but grasp the fact that we are ready to embrace our bigger, brighter goals and dreams!

My Skills Portfolio and Success Topics are designed to serve you!
Thanks to all my “to and fro-ing” – seven countries, twelve cities, ten schools – I can do 10 solid stand-up minutes on not being able to find my house and another 10 on “I can’t tell the difference between forever and four-thirty.” After that, I can do 10 more on what it takes and why it’s so important to carve our own definitions of “joy” and “abundance” and permit ourselves to live them to the fullest. The remarkable gift about BRAT gypsy life is the way it teaches you what you stand for. You learn really fast that nothing lasts… except your reputation. That follows you no matter where you go.

“TED” as “LET’S TALK”
Old-fashioned conversations, back-and-forth exchanges feed our need to learn and grow. If you want to hear someone speak, it’s because their topic matters to you. YOUR ideas on the subject deserve to be heard and shared. In a time when few people seem to be listening, we rediscover what shared learning can do!
