FreeSpeakers.org has been great with helping me find presenters for our community. They have so many speakers from so many diverse backgrounds and experiences, selecting one is not difficult. The presenters themselves are easy to work with and our residents enjoy their presentations.
I’m delighted to comment on my 10± year relationship with Freespeakers.org. Years ago as a nonprofit event organizer constantly in search of speakers willing to present in gratis; Freespeakers.org provided an array of great speakers with relevant and interesting topics that added so much to the success of our organization’s member events. Later, as a consultant seeking new connections and opportunities to share my knowledge and experience to help others I found a steady flow of opportunities to give back to the community. Both experiences over the years with Freespeakers.org have been professionally rewarding in numerous ways. In planning meetings and events, they offer an endless source of great speakers to organizations. As a speaker, I’ve been afforded an opportunity to sharpen my skills continually and contribute beneficial service to groups as I seek to give back! In my opinion, Freespeakers.org has created the ultimate WIN-WIN situation for all!

Most people think trauma only refers to extreme events, but unresolved survival patterns often show up as anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, emotional reactivity, and repeating painful relationship dynamics.
