BOBBIE STATEN

A  Motivational Humorist

Bobbie Staten combines graduate health degrees with a healthy and sometimes irreverent sense of humor about people and the lives they lead.  In her witty way, she manages to have audiences laugh through topics of wellness, happiness, life and stress management, customer service, and people skills.  She ignites audiences.

Bobbie began her career as a nurse and has held positions of head nurse, nursing supervisor, and psychiatric nursing instructor. She opened a nursing practice to help others caught up in the "I can't" mode, where she helped thousands reach their personal health goals.   She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Public Health from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 

Bobbie's natural humor emerged while speaking before groups and as a result, more and more groups began asking Bobbie to appear as an after-dinner humorist. Bobbie has a message ... one of finding balance in life.  The message is simple and as old as time...If you have your health and your family, you just about have it all. So lighten up. Take your work, but not yourself, so seriously!

Bobbie has been speaking professionally for 25years. She has earned the Certified Speaking Professional credential of the National Speakers Association. During her nursing career, Bobbie joined Sigma Theta Tau (the National Scholastic Nursing Honor Society), and the American Nurses Association.  She lives in the beautiful South in a 130 year old farmhouse with her husband, 7 spoiled-rotten dogs 12 chickens and guineas, koi fish and an occasional mouse.
