Select Speaking Topics
Kathleen designs each talk so that it is relevant to the intended audience. Topics range from dealing with current social issues through the death of a child.
STOP THE VIOLENCE
END THE SILENCE
Kathleen shares ideas about how we expand our ability to connect with one another, as well as strengthen and deepen our humanity. By listening to things that challenge our points of view and trigger our judgments, we will find connection. Silence isn’t respect, it is the way we avoid personal responsibility.
GRIEF AND THE PROCESS OF CHOOSING LIFE
The loss of a child is insurmountable. It can’t be fixed. It is woven woven into the tapestry of our lives, even as we scream out against it. I present alternatives to silence and suffering alone.
DEEPENING OUR HUMANITY
The Power of Curiosity is the engine that fuels many of Kathleen’s talks. It fosters connection and makes the experience more compelling.
