			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just putting it out there.  I&#8217;m available for bookings for 2011 around Australia.  Topics may relate to working online and from home and that that entails such as: networking, social media, using your database, etc, etc. or perhaps the audience may be a group of mothers who want encouragement with respect to bringing their skills back home so they can be there for their families.  Or perhaps you&#8217;ve thought of something else I might be able to speak on?</p>
<p>I live in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, Australia but am happy to travel to speak interstate or even regional areas.</p>
<p>If you are planning an event in 2011 then please consider if I would be an ideal speaker for your audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I spent some time withdrawn from speaking engagements but am now ready to get back into the circuit, so to speak.  So if you&#8217;re looking for a speaker for your women&#8217;s event, I may be just the person you&#8217;re looking for!</p>
<p>Motivational, keynote, workshop, etc I look forward to hearing from you to book your event.</p>
<p>I live in Victoria so bookings for other locations need to also cover my travel and accommodation expenses.</p>
<p>Topics include: Working Virtually, Being a Proverbs 31 Woman, Using Social Media Tools, Blogging and The Importance of Networking (online &amp; offline).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the wonderful opportunity of speaking to a group of around 70 women this morning in Moorabbin at the MGA.  These women were from local churches or the general community.  My topic was about working from home and I spoke on my favourite topic &#8216;The Proverbs 31 Woman&#8217; and the value of women being present in the home for their families.</p>
<p>The talk was well received and I was delighted with the number of women who wanted to speak to me afterwards and to buy my books:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.worth-more-than-rubies.com">Worth More Than Rubies</a> and <a href="http://www.ithappenedbydesign.com">It Happened By Design</a>.</p>
<p>Thank you ladies for an enjoyable morning.</p>
