Women's Events
Live, Laugh and Love
Scripture tells us in John 10:10 that Jesus desires us to live abundantly. That is great until "life happens." Living abundantly is not defined by wealth, health or ease of life rather by living forward in spite of life. Let's discover how live, laugh and love are three essentials for living forward and experiencing abundant living.
Will the Real YOU Please Stand Up!
Many women have created a self-limiting belief by convincing themselves they are anything but uncommon or extraordinary because they believe there is no headline to their story, no breaking news, no here's what's trending. The results of that belief often "shows up" by attempting to be someone they are not; i.e., a copy. To stand out and be competitive in today's culture and consistently achieve "top" performance, the answer lies within YOU! Learn three clear and concise techniques that any woman can begin practicing to experience confidence and success.
Stand on Your Story
No one has your story. It is as unique as a fingerprint. As humans, we often default to comparing our story / life to others' story / life. What if you could discover or rediscover how to tap into your story and experience confidence, value and contentment and shift from comparing your story to standing on your story? You will learn three practices that will help you make the shift. Come expecting to have fun, interact with others and gain insights into how to stand on your story.
CHRISTMAS PRESENTATIONS
Signed, Sealed, Delivered: What's in Your Christmas?
Long before December 25, we are often frustrated, frazzled, fanatical and fragmented. At times, we create our own chaos to add to the joyful chaos and find oursleves in "complete confusion and disorder: a state in which behavior and events are not controlled by anything." (Chaos defined) What if we could minimize the chaos and maximize the joyful? Let's explore stepping out of the unpredictable chaos and see how a Cradle, a Cross and a Crown can help maximize the JOY of Christmas!
The Joy of Christmas
The Christmas season is filled with symbols, music and traditions as reminders that this time of year is different. Let's explore how three common reminders can help capture the joy of Christmas for the present and influence us throughout the year.
Corporate Events
Stand On Your Story
No one has your story. It is as unique as a fingerprint. As humans, we often default to comparing our story / life to another's story / life.

Learn three practices that will help make the shift and gain insights into how to stand on your story.
5 Skills to Empower Others
What if you practiced five skills that would elevate your communication and empower others? These five skills can be used in professional and personal conversations. When you experience the shift and empower others, you have a greater influence on those around you.
G.R.I.T. Factor
According to Angela Duckworth, "Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals. One way to think about grit is to consider what grit isn't. Grit isn't talent. Grit isn't luck. Grit isn't how intensely, for the moment, you want something. Instead, grit is about having what some researchers call an 'ultimate concern' -- a goal you care about so much that it organizes and gives meaning to almost everything you do. And grit is holding steadfast to that goal. Even when you fall down. Even when you screw up. Even when progress toward that goal is halting or slow." We will explore the value of grit, how it helps develop / reinforce self-esteem, and a formula for each person to tap into their G.R.I.T. factor.

Testimonials
"I was so excited when I finished the workshop, to know that I can connect to others even though they are WIRED differently than me. I will use the info I received in my church and the ministries that I am involved in. Thank you so much for your insight and foresight."
Marlene
Georgia
"As Pastor, I was impressed to contact an outside source that could objectively lead the church body in taking the next step forward. The Bible speaks of a God who makes plans, encourages, and empowers people to plan using a value based perspective. I realized that planning does not determine the future -- it can only direct the present. I needed a person to help me lead the church to discover where we are at present then motivate the people by pointing attention and effort toward a hopeful future. Jane accomplished this by her unique leadership style of interaction."
Tullos

"I had the pleasure of hearing Jane speak at the Rotary Club of Gwinnett County in January 2019. Her topic, 'Five Skills to Empower Others' was well received by our members. She is a dynamic speaker and her knowledge and professionalism on the subject were apparent. I highly recommend her for any group looking to have an engaging, thoughtful speaker!"
Rich Bartolotta
"Creating our Leadership Model with Jane helped us to set up mutual expectations of one another as a team. Jane coached us by asking questions and helping us dig deeper into leadership through conversation and writing. That time brought us together as sisters in Christ serving the Lord with one heart and mind."
Courtney
Georgia
"I strongly recommend Jane as a trainer, facilitator and coach for you and your business. Jane has been working with RE/MAX Regency in a series of workshops to impact the productivity of agents in our brokerage. She has a tremendous depth of knowledge around business, interpersonal and leadership skills. Even more so, she's exceptional with transferring that knowledge and improving others' skills along with their overall mindset. She truly is a great person as well as professional coach / trainer."
Mike Myslinski
Re/Max Regency
"I believe our objective was met. The women were engaged, excited and seemed to comprehend what was being communicated. They left energized for the task ahead. I greatly appreciated the fact that Jane was able to take my request and put it into action. She was careful to make sure she understood my objectives and then skillfully executed them based on the needs of our group. Thanks so much. We had a great experience."
Candace
Executive Director
Alabama
"You were definitely the icing on the cake for [our women's ministry event]. You immediately got us going from all the chatter at our tables into something even more fun. Your enthusiasm and humor immediately captivated us and led us into learning that our GIFTs are worth pursuing because God created us to be our own special persons with our own individualized agendas. How motivating was that!"
Judy
Illinois
"How wonderful it was to be a part of your 'Soul Care' weekend. It was so refreshing to spend this time with our sisters in Christ, especially with you as our guide. I came expecting something great and left greatly blessed."
Doris
Georgia
"The Best of the Best! Jane Bishop led our women's ministry in a 'Soul Care' weekend retreat and we were all blessed, uplifted, refreshed, and encouraged under her guidance. She is an amazing professional speaker who immediately connects on a personal level and invokes trust and openness in her listeners. We laughed 'until our jaws hurt' and cried as our hearts overflowed. Bonds of friendship were formed and strengthened that will no doubt last a lifetime. In our last session, we created individual memory boards to "take away" what we had learned, and had been reminded of, at our retreat. When I look at it now, I remember to keep my focus on the things that are most important to me ... love, joy, God's love for me, and my love for others. Our church has had the privilege of having Jane lead us for two years in a row, and I hope she continues to lead our retreats for years to come. If you have the opportunity to hear her speak, go, and take others that you love with you!"
Kim
Georgia
"Jane was very professional, enthusiastic, and engaging. Our group not only was inspired, but also challenged. I would highly recommend Jane for a training event or just as an inspirational speaker. Jane knows her way around churches and understands people and what makes them tick."
Dr. Charlie Barnard
Pastor
Tennessee
"I felt like I had been developed professionally. You put [my] job with students in context of where it is. Thank you."
Tim
Alabama
"Jane has a proficient ability to make individuals think deeply about what they want to accomplish and how they will achieve the desired outcomes. She stretched me beyond my normal way of thinking."
