Ministry Speaking Topics

9 Life Lessons to Help You Move Forward

In an imperfect world with imperfect people, we suffer setbacks, sickness, andĀ heartaches. Yvonne uses personal examples and the truth of the Bible to helpĀ women:

  • Exchange their shattered dreams for the promises of God.
  • Replace sadness and sorrow with Godā€™s joy.
  • Live each day as a gift.

How to Forgive When You Don't Want to

Since we donā€™t have alligator skin and a heart of stone, people will hurt usĀ especially those closest to us. We also make mistakes in life and hurt others.Ā Yvonne uses personal anecdotes and the timeless truths of God to help women:

  • Trade shame and guilt for Godā€™s grace to forgive themselves.
  • Overcome anger and bitterness and with Godā€™s power forgive others.
  • Break free from the prison of the past and gain the freedom of forgiveness.

Moving from Broken to BeautifulĀ® through Grief

Through Yvonneā€™s transparent stories of personal losses and Godā€™s Word, your audience will discover how to:

  • Exchange withdrawal, loneliness, and aloneness for Godā€™s comfort.
  • Replace the turmoil of grief with Godā€™s peace.
  • Live with purpose in your new normal.

Stand Firm

This presentation is a wonderful conclusion to a weekend retreat and allowsĀ time for the women to give testimonies of what God has spoken to them overĀ the weekend. Always leading women back to Godā€™s Word, Yvonne challenges women to:

  • Depart from the mountaintop and live in the valley.
  • Evaluate how they give to the Lordā€™s work at home and elsewhere.
  • Switch their focus from earthly rewards to heavenly ones.

Speak with Power, Passion and Polish

If you fear speaking in public, youā€™re not alone! Gain confidence and tips from Yvonneā€™s personal examples and a professional model to:

  • Eliminate a weak opening and replace it with a dynamic one.
  • Replace confusing content with clear and compelling content.
  • Avoid delivery mistakes and present with power and passion.

Note: Each bullet point for Speak with Power is a 30-60-minute presentation.

    The Purpose Profile: Living by Decision

    Through Yvonneā€™s transparent stories of the effects of personal challenges and transitions on mind, body, and soul, she involves the audience to help them:

    • Give up pleasing people and substitute pleasing God.
    • Move from rigidity and fear of change to flexibility and resilience.
    • Build on their strengths and purpose in life.

    Note: Each bullet point for The Purpose Profile can be a 30-to-60-minute interactive training session.

    Christmas: Get off the Emotional Roller Coaster and Celebrate Christā€™s Birthday

    Expectations and excesses can cause us to ignore the meaning of Christmas.Ā Yvonne will encourage women to:

    • Overcome their unrealistic expectations of others.
    • Stop striving to be Wonder Woman in Disney World.
    • Embrace the Christ of Christmas.

    Self-Care When You Think No One Cares

    What do you do when youā€™re paralyzed with gut-wrenching pain from loss?

    Are you overwhelmed with the challenges of paperwork, bills, and sleepless nights with little time for self-care?

    Have you lost your identity, peace, and purpose?

    Coach Yvonne has been there. Let her help you jumpstart your healing journey with hope, connection, and community:

    • Replace doubt, discouragement, and depression one small step at a time with encouragement, support, and accountability.
    • Exchange sadness and sorrow with manageable steps toward peace, power, and purpose.
    • Find freedom from the past, peace in the here and now, and joy in the future.

    Yvonne is living proof itā€™s never too late to begin Self-Care.Ā
