I am interested in speaking with you about securing a date to come to your group!

Do your inspirational talks include this concept?
I’m the program coordinator for a women’s group and am looking for an inspirational speaker to kick off our year next September. We meet monthly Sept through May and always have a speaker. The group is called New Sociables: (https://www.startribune.com/new-sociables-helps-women-in-southern-twin-cities-suburbs-form-bonds-fend-off-loneliness/573480111)
Since that article was written we’ve grown to 300 members with about 130-180 in attendance at our monthly meetings) Wondering if you could combine talking about your inspiration for writing with taking about responsibility for your own life.
I’d like start the year giving the members something to think about and to inspire them. We can pay a stipend and you can bring books to sell after your talk.
