Stop Screaming at the Microwave! How to Connect Your Disconnected Life

You've organized, prioritized, delegated and simplified and you still don't have enough time for your family, your spouse, your friends, your boss - much less yourself. You're a veteran of the time management wars, fighting for the life balance ideal - and you are losing! In this funny and fast-paced presentation you'll learn a new approach for keeping your life in balance with the Connection Solution. You will leave armed with practical, heartwarming, "works in real life" ideas that you will want to implement immediately.

When You Can't Keep Up - CONNECT!

For 15 years, as a busy mother with a demanding career on the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine , Mary tried the "superperson route" and failed. She struggled to keep up, turning to time management, prioritizing, delegating and juggling and continued to feel overwhelmed and torn apart.

One day, while furiously working away at the computer and shouting at the kids to keep their distance, Mary realized a startling fact: In her zeal to get everything done, she had become disconnected from her family, her work, her community, her spirituality, and from the person she wanted to be.

So she adopted a new motto: When you can't keep up - CONNECT! Mary designed this program to bring you the best ideas she knows about how to keep your life in balance so you can have a lighter, more joyful, and more abundant life.

So if you are worried about the quality of your home life, your work life, and your inner life , you're about to discover that connection works better than the fanciest daily planner you ever fell for. Toss out the mile long to-do lists- it's time to connect!

I Used to Have a Handle on Life but It Broke

Working 24/7 and still can't get it all done? Most of us feel that the only way to manage the mounting chaos in our lives is to take control. If only we could get a handle on life! No wonder we have overwhelming to-do lists that leave us feeling exhausted and powerless. In this heartwarming and funny program you'll learn straightforward, innovative techniques for keeping your balance no matter what life throws your way.

Keeping Your Life in Balance When Cloning Yourself Won't Work

The old ways of balancing our lives focused on how to do more: work harder and faster. Well, we have learned the hard way that what we have tried hasn't worked: we are busier than ever. If you feel like you can't get it all done, that there is just not enough time in your day - well - this is not your imagination. You have not failed in some way. There really is too much to do. Our current strategies involve going faster and faster, but if you are going in the wrong direction, speeding up doesn't help. Our problem is not a "need for speed," but rather a "correction of direction." So short of quitting your job and running away from home, what do you do when you can't keep up? n this humorous and idea-filled program you will come to realize that even though you will not ever ever ever again get "it" all done, there are innovative strategies that can bring harmony into your home and work life - strategies that work equally well with both men and women. If you are black and blue from juggling, it is time for the New Approach to Life Balance.

The Power of Paying Attention

We are rewarded for overworking, overscheduling, and being overwhelmed. It's a common approach but one that slows productivity, increases absenteeism, raises health care costs and causes us to ache. The only thing that can reverse this is to tap into our power to pay attention. In this unique twist on what really works, you'll see a better way to reach your goals and feel good at the same time.

Are you planning an event with a healthy heart theme?

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women. Our language suggests how strongly we believe in the emotional impact on our hearts. We use phrases like "staying young at heart", "She died of a broken heart", "The Lonely Hearts Club" and "She is so warm-hearted". Research clearly shows that how we "feel in our hearts" plays a major role in our well-being. The message of "connection creates balance" inspires women to take good care of their hearts - in every sense of the word.

Speaker Information

For fifteen years, as a busy mother with a demanding career on the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Director of the Hypertension Research Center, Mary LoVerde tried the "superperson" route - and failed. Struggling valiantly to keep up, she turned to time management, prioritizing, delegating, and simplifying. Yet, she continued to feel overwhelmed and torn apart. One day, while furiously working away at her computer and shouting at the kids to keep their distance, she realized a startling fact. In her zeal to get everything done, she had become disconnected - from her family, from her work, and from the person she was and wanted to be. LoVerde adopted a new life motto: When you can't keep up, CONNECT.

A dynamic international speaker, consultant, and writer, LoVerde is President of Life Balance, Inc., a company devoted to spreading the message of finding balance through connection. She speaks to diverse audiences across the country and also shares her empowering strategies with dozens of major corporations, including AT&T, Merck and Company, Proctor and Gamble, Discover Card, Hallmark, Lucent Technologies, and the Mayo Clinic.

Author of Stop Screaming at the Microwave! How to Connect Your Disconnected Life and contributor to the bestselling inspirational collections, Chocolate for a Woman's Soul and Chocolate for a Woman's Heart, LoVerde has touched many readers with her stories - including her gift of a "Memory Jar," filled with handwritten reminiscences, to her mother. She is also the author of Touching Tomorrow, which showcases over 200 questions that are sure to help you know your loved ones better than you ever dreamed, and her latest book, I Used to Have a Handle on Life But It Broke. She presents a wealth of uplifting insights and innovative ideas for taking small steps in the right direction for a less stressful, more satisfying life.

Inspired by her mother, who was separated from her sisters and put into foster care at the age of nine, LoVerde is the national spokesperson for Camp to Belong, which reunites brothers and sisters placed in different foster homes for events of fun, emotional empowerment, and sibling connection. She is blessed with family (her husband of twenty-one years, Joe, and their three children, Sarah, Emily and Nicholas), a rewarding career and a sense of personal fulfillment. LoVerde makes time to share family meals (though she hates to cook and considers pizza today's pot roast), establish new family rituals (like feasting on gourmet takeout and singing carols by candlelight on Christmas Eve), and cheering each other on and laughing together - even when she's on the road and far from their home in Aurora, Colorado.

LoVerde has a masters degree in medical surgical nursing and is an adult nurse practitioner. She has practiced in hospital medical surgical bedside nursing; in the Emergency room as a nurse practitioner; and in an internal medicine clinic seeing her own patients as an NP. LoVerde directed the Hypertension Research Center for the School of Medicine and has published in the New England Journal of medicine, Clinical Research, JAMA and many others.

Testimonials

"After experiencing your talk on two occasions, I am fascinated by the way you seem to lift the audience out of complacency into action with your touching stories and sound advice."

- American Heart Association

"You touched the lives of everyone in that room including senior level executives from clinical research, vice presidents and CEOs from pharmaceutical, biotechnical, medical device and contract research organizations. Many delegates approached me to say it was a perfect conference. I believe this was because of you."

- Institute for International Research

"I count myself fortunate to have heard many of the world's leading presenters, but rarely have I witnessed anyone who delivers their message with the simple intensity that you have mastered. At every conference there are always one of two speakers who steal the show. In your case you didn't so much steal it, as hijack it."
