However, the following
summaries give a general indication of some of her topics and content.
Laugh, Learn and Lead
Sarah Weddington
has lived a life of leadership, and she will share her expertise
and insight during this session. You will walk away with key attitudes,
skills and elements of leadership that you can apply immediately
to your professional, and personal life to help you operate consistently
at peak efficiency.
First Put Your Own Oxygen
Mask On
Do you ever feel
tired? Most leaders do. What should we do to increase our levels
of oxygen and energy? In this speech, Dr. Weddington will provide
insights into personal renewal. Laughter and good times help replenish
our energy supply; one saying (with a modern twist) says: "He
- and she - who laugh, last." And last we must. Learning and
"ah ha" moments, when we understand new information or
go through new experiences, give us energy. And leading gives us
impact and the joy of making a difference. She will share her own
leadership experiences and suggest that participants "practice"
leadership, "use the critical eye" to watch others who
have highly developed skills and adapt their best techniques, and
be "divinely discontent" in looking for ways to make a
positive difference.
Living the Leadership
Life
Sarah Weddington
will describe her own path to leadership, including her experiences
as the first woman from Austin-Travis County elected to the Texas
Legislature, the first woman General Counsel for the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, a White House Assistant to President Jimmy Carter,
and the attorney who argued Roe v. Wade before the U.S. Supreme
Court (her first contested case). She will draw on her own experiences
and interactions with national and international leaders to illustrate
the nature of leadership, theories of leadership, skills of leadership
and the costs and benefits of leadership. She will challenge each
audience member to live "the leadership life" and to leave
his or her "thumbprint" on the world.
How to Talk Your Way
to Success
One key to success is effective verbal communication skills. Whether
you are making a speech, an informal presentation, comments in a
work or social setting or whether you want to be the interesting
dinner guest everyone wants to include, communication is key to
success. This is a session with a nationally prominent speaker who
has appeared on all the top morning TV shows. Her communication
skills have helped her win a case before the U.S. Supreme Court,
win an election to the Texas Legislature, work as Assistant to the
President of the United States, and become a sought-out speaker and
commentator.
Learn her insider tips
and tricks for being a top-notch communicator.
Leaders Need More Oxygen!
Sarah Weddington
believes the one thing that all leaders can relate to is feeling
tired. They are subjected to enormous changes and pressures. Colleagues,
friends, and family members look to them for help and support. And
their jobs as professionals demand constant peak performance.
Where can they find the
oxygen - or energy - they need? Join the fun that is part of this
special session. The wit and sage that Sarah Weddington will share
is the perfect setting to laugh, to learn, and to refresh and invigorate
your outlook on your professional life.
Strategies to Reach
the Top
People who
advance in leadership roles have often done so through "hard
work plus." Participants will explore "plus" elements
and plot their own route upwards.
How to Put Leadership
into Action
One of NALP's
all-time most popular presenters - Sarah Weddington - will facilitate
an exciting seminar designed to assist participants in identifying
and assessing individual leadership potential, analyze style, and
learn strategies and techniques for influential and effective leadership.
Leaders leading other leaders, leadership as advocacy, and other
important topics will be included. Expect to be surprised, challenged,
and supported as you learn about the art and science of leadership.
Some Leaders are Born
Women!
Women are often
the ones who have the key skills required in top leadership positions,
yet few women hold these high-profile titles. This session will
include laughter and learning as participants share a look at the
historical factors that have contributed to this situation, at the
perfect "fit" today of what women have to offer and what
is needed and at how participants can enhance their personal leadership.
You'll be asked to help prove that, indeed, some leaders are born
women!
Audio and video recordings of "Some Leaders are Born Women" are
available
online.
The Spotlight Is On
You!
Your job as a professional puts you at center stage - the place
where the bright lights focus on you as a large, diverse, demanding
audience of constituents watches. Where will you find the energy
to maintain peak performance? Join the fun of this special session.
The wit and wisdom that Sarah Weddington will share will make you
laugh, help you learn, and give you the tools you need to prepare
for your starring role.
