The American fast paced lifestyle is robbing everyone from parents to kids of simple healthy joyful ways of living that used to be commonplace. The Life Expectancy of Americans today is lower than 41 other nations and we work longer and harder than most other developed nations with lower productivity. The increase of stress related (i.e. heart disease) and unhealthy living (i.e. obesity) diseases are increasing at catastrophic speed. The average American takes less than 5 days vacation a year often forfeiting earned days. The increasing demands on kids and teens to achieve has risen to record stress levels. The net result is that we are missing out on a major aspect of life – it is to be enjoyed not endured.
“Where is all the joy? “ You might ask yourself. “When do I have time for enjoying my family, my friends, and my hobbies? How do I make simpler joys a part of my daily living? Why am I waiting for a better time to do what will make me feel good?”
Suzanne will reveal the secrets to making big and small changes for the sole purpose of increasing your joy, good health, and happiness. The result is a life worth living.

In this action packed session you’ll learn:
- Why having a personal and family vision of how you want to live your life is critical
- 4 Keys to taking back control of how you live your life and that of your family
- 7 simple secrets to increasing your joie de vivre that you can do today

Creating Work-Life Balance:
Is it possible, and if so, How?
If you ask any great employee why they stay with a company, they will tell you, “because of the culture, because of my manager, because they recognize work-life balance is important.” In the best of times and in the worse of times, the development of a culture that embraces work-life balance hires the best and keeps them. This translates into the bottom line in savings and increased revenue for the company. So what exactly, does it mean to create a culture of work-life balance. Who is responsible and how can you trust it won’t be taken advantage of. These are all questions addressed in Suzanne’s speech on balancing the three legged stool of work-life balance.
The three legs presented are:
Part I: Organizational: Family friendly policies, benefits, career ladders
Part II: Manager/ Team culture and implicit behaviors
Part III: Individual Choices and Responsibilities
