Keynotes, Author Readings, Community Appearances
I give presentations to organizations, businesses and church groups on a number of writing-related and inspirational subjects.
I am available to speak on mentoring, living with passion, community service and conservation, in particular with respect to the 2010 publication of my book, Sanctuary: The Story of Naturalist Mary Majka.
I am happy to attend book clubs if my schedule permits, however do ask that, at the very minimum, an honorarium to offset travel costs.
Any of the following keynotes can be tailored in content and length to suit the needs of your event or I am happy to craft a presentation that will suit your purpose or event theme.
To book me to speak at your next event, please e-mail your request to info@deborahcarr.ca and I will respond with my fees and general booking details.
Keynote Topics
What’s your Legacy?
Each of us has been uniquely shaped, first by genetics, and then by life experiences and people who have touched our lives. Most times, we have no control over what happens to us. But it is our choice whether we allow these influences to shape us for the better or the worse. It’s our choice whether we use and share the gifts we’ve been given, or whether we hide them beneath self-doubt and fear of failure.
During this slide show presentation I discuss the early influences on the life of Order of Canada recipient, Dr. Mary Majka, and how those experiences helped shape the woman she became. I then show how each one of us has the ability to influence the lives of others in our daily walk, thus creating our own legacy.
Live, On Purpose.
Are you living true enough? Or, is the real you waiting impatiently below the surface? What if you believed your innate creativity and life experiences were inextricably tied to your life purpose? Would you choose to live differently?
Too often women lose themselves in the busyness of life and careers and family. Women transitioning through the middle of life often reach a breaking point, choosing out of desperation to walk away from their past routines and start afresh.
In this keynote address for women, I share my own ‘mid-life melt-down’ and what I did to reboot a stagnant life into one filled with joy and purpose. As well, I’ll share the lessons I learned while researching the biography of Order of Canada recipient, Mary Majka who, in the middle of her life, built a rich, purposeful, and influential life. This keynote will inspire listeners to examine the power and possibility dwelling within their own lives.
