Speech Titles :

Dealing with Difficult People the Easy Way: We’re all faced with demanding clients, bosses, and co-workers on a daily basis but dealing with these difficult people doesn’t have to be difficult itself. In this presentation, Dr. Testa explains how you can approach this resistance in a user-friendly, positive way by maintaining the focus on your objectives and finding the confidence to stand your ground. Dr. Testa also provides easy, proven solutions for working with all personalities. 
The Normal Neurotic: While it may be an exaggeration to say that neurotic is the new normal, certainly in this frazzled day and age, to be cool, calm and collected is nigh unto impossible. In this lecture Dr. Testa teaches people how to accept themselves and their neuroses, adapting to them where possible, as well as learning to cope with the neurotic behavior of everyone else.
Step Up To The Workplace Bully! Bullies in the workplace may have added leverage if they’re above someone in rank, especially if they can hire and fire. But bullies come in all shapes and sizes and while a “boss” may seem to be a bully, it may just be his or her style of management, while some secretaries are able to bully their employees. In this lecture Dr. Testa goes over the different types of bullies that one can encounter n the work environment and offers guidance on how to deal with them.
Unlock the Power of Confidence! : In her private practice, Dr. Testa sees patient after patient whose outward problems may be different, but for whom the underlying cause is low self-esteem. Dr. Testa has helped millions of people on television, radio and interactive seminars of people to raise their level of self-esteem so that they can take charge of their lives and in this empowering lecture she describes the problem and offers step-by-step practical solutions.
How To Say NO… And YES To Yourself!
Putting in extra hours at work is no longer looked upon as going that extra mile, it’s now expected. Between work, family, and other responsibilities, we are over scheduling ourselves and feeling completely depleted. We’re not able to just say NO! In this lecture, Dr. Testa explains the reasons why we’re not able to say no and provides a solutions-driven plan to take back control of your life and choose what is good for your overall well-being.
The Self-Empowered Woman:  Men have held the power since the days of Adam and Eve and while women have grabbed some of it back, women continue to struggle to get their fair share. Since men won’t give it up all that easily, women are forced to learn how to empower themselves. They need to learn to stand up for themselves, make decisions on their own, gain the required confidence to run their own lives according to their own set of rules. In this lecture Dr. Anne-Renee Testa offers both solution-oriented guidance and motivational advice to women so that those attending come away feeling stronger and ready to face the world with a new, invigorated attitude.
