How to turn your stress into success with the Smile Diet will be the topic of the chamber's First Friday Breakfast next month.
The featured speaker will be Mary Marcdante, an inspiring and dynamic professional speaker, author, facilitator and a communication and stress management expert. Marcdante has spoken around the world to a diverse group of clients, including Procter & Gamble, Hewlett Packard and the IRS.
She is a contributing author to five bestselling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books, is a featured relationship expert on iVillage.com and has been interviewed on every major TV and cable network, as well the Wall Street Journal and Glamour magazine.
During the First Friday Breakfast, Marcdante will talk about how often you smile and when you choose to smile can change your life, your business, your employees' morale and your customers' and clients' purchasing decisions. Sound too simple, maybe even silly? Don't underestimate its power; your smile is one of the best investments you can make.
This 30-minute program, based on Marcdante's book, “Living with Enthusiasm: How the 21-Day Smile Diet Can Change Your Life” combines the best of her research and programs on stress, communication, appreciation and the new science of happiness and laughter, along with the real life success stories of people and organizations who tried the Smile Diet. Join us for an inspiring, entertaining program that will have you thinking, laughing and taking positive action in the areas of your life and business that need more attention and love.
