Rita's Most Requested Programs:

Blast Away Procrastination:  Get It Done Now
Are you overwhelmed with all that you've been putting off? Or with what your students are putting off? Or both? Many people (especially children) believe they procrastinate because they were born with a personality flaw or a disability. Not true! It’s simply a habit and “Recovering Procrastinator” Rita Emmett can help you blast away that habit.

While You Take Care Of Others Who Takes Care Of You?:  Strategies To Prevent Burnout 
Most of us are terrific at taking care of our students, our families, our co-workers, our bosses, our friends, our neighbors, or anyone else who needs nurturing. But when it comes to taking care of ourselves, we just don't seem to have any time or energy left, right? And so we burn out. The result is stress which directly leads to low employee morale, and many illnesses. This talk explores how important it is to "recharge our batteries" before we burnout or become totally drained.

Are We Having Any Fun Yet?:  Strategies To Prevent Burnout
We all know it's important for our mental and physical health to include fun in our lives, so what's keeping us from it? Do you say "When this busy time is over, THEN I'll get together with friends and kick back" or "When this stress ends, THEN I'll relax and enjoy life" but you know that as soon as one busy time or stressful time ends, another begins. Don't wait till a doctor gives you a prescription to enjoy life; NOW is the time to learn how to include fun in your life.

Got Clutter?
Do you feel like you waste years of your life doing the Clutter Shuffle rummaging through piles of stuff looking for something important?

Are you a Pack Rat who saves everything because somebody might need it some day? But when they need it, you forgot you had it ... or if you remembered that you had it, then you couldn't find it?

"Recovered Pack Rat" Rita Emmett believes that clutter doesn't come from being lazy or disorganized or messy, it simply comes from four habits.

Once you work on any one of these four habits, you will see your clutter start to melt away, and you Pack Rats will learn to say good-bye to your stuff without breaking your heart or sobbing like a baby poodle.

Communicate Easily With The People In Your Life
Communication is the key to relationships at school at home, anywhere. Yet, did you know research tells us that only 7% of our communication is based on the meaning of our words? Scary, isn't it? Understanding the other 93% - body language and voice quality, along with improved listening skills can turn you into a powerful communicator.

Face Up To Stress and Handle It Smoothly
Is everything in your life getting wrinkled? Learn to smooth things out. Stress ELIMINATION seminars simply don't exist. No matter what you do you WILL have stress in your life. Learn to manage it in a healthy way instead of letting stress leave you feeling fragmented, frantic or frazzled.
