Just spoke to an intimate gathering of about 30 women of St. Matthias Episcopal Church in Monument, Colorado. When organizer Donna Rosa asked me to speak for 90 minutes, I decided to mix things up a bit, incorporating a 30 minute humorous speech with a serious application, a brief break, some group discussions that generated suggestions that were practical, entertaining and poignant all at the same time, and then a serious close. 90 minutes can feel like a long time even if you’re doing something fun (imagine 3 back-to-back episodes of Gilligan’s Island!) but the mix felt right and the women were lively and engaged throughout. Of course, it helped that these were truely amazing women, warm and transparent. I enjoyed every minute in their presence!
