Dr. Steiner is passionate about helping patients and therapists
live life to the fullest. She gives keynote addresses, leads workshops,
is a motivational speaker, and consults with patients, organizations,
practicing therapists, attorneys, and health care workers. Any content
area can be presented as inspirational keynote presentations,
in-service training events, half or all-day workshops,
group discussions, etc.
Recently Dr. Steiner has begun offering trainings
for professional speakers and small business owners on how to create
effective back-up systems. The system helps workshop participants
think through ways to put together a small group of trusted peers
to replace them in the event of expected and unexpected absences.
I prefer to design each presentation to address the
particular needs of your membership or organization. The format can
include interactive sections, short small group discussions etc.
If you have any questions or want to discuss
whether and how I can be of assistance, please feel free to call (925)
962-0060 or send
an email with your phone number and a variety of times
when it would be convenient for me to return your call.
