Ready, set, get motivated!
Between voluntary, obligatory, and family commitments, it’s often difficult to determine just how to tackle certain tasks and when to delve into specific duties.
Dynamic presentations and workshops motivate and empower audiences to re-organize, re-energize, and re-claim control in their life.
Presentations are customized to meet your group’s needs, from a 30-minute presentation to a full-day workshop.
Calahan Solutions offers standard and custom-designed training, meeting facilitation, and retreat programs. We give presentations to a variety of groups, from large businesses and government agencies to small social groups on many topics. If your organization or group is ready for skills that will change their life, select a topic from the list below.
You will reclaim your information, time and space by learning how to organize important items in your work and personal life.
And if your group could use even more than a motivating speech, why not try our interactive workshops? We will present a speech on topics of your choice, followed by individual consultations to members of your group who need it.
Meeting Planners – What They Said
Thanks so very, very much for presenting at Bloomington Rotary yesterday. It could not have been better, you delivered a fantastic program that I know was enjoyed and appreciated by our group. I hope that you might consider coming back to Rotary for another program, later in our calendar year. OK..off to clear my desk.
Lyn Hruska – Bloomington Rotary Program Manager
Your workshop was very helpful as well as informational. I know the class prompted employees to begin organizing at work and at home. You made it so easy to work with you.
Jan Morris, MS,CHES – McLean County Health Department Program Manager
I just wanted to tell you how much everyone enjoyed your presentation today….you were a big hit! Thanks so much for your patience with all the idiosyncrasies of our office.
Carol Denton – City of Champaign Legal Department
I can’t remember when there has been so much positive talk after a meeting!!! WAY TO GO!
Vickie Craig – Meeting coordinator Ford County Extension
Your program was fantastic! We had lots of good comments and no grumbles, which usually come from a certain couple in the group. I so much appreciate your help and expertise.
Janet Kilgus – Program Coordinator
We will be hiring them again! We asked Calahan Solutions to present a half-day workshop for our chamber members. They made it easy for me to promote the workshopto our members by providing me with effective, professional marketing materials I could include in our newsletter and on our website. We conducted a survey after the presentation and 100% of our participants said this was the type of workshop the chamber should continue to offer and it was a good value for their time and money. We plan to ask Stephanie Calahan back for another presentation.
Bill Fleming – Executive Director – Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce
Thanks again for your participation in this seminar today. We had a great turnout – definitely a topic people are interested in!!
Tracy Widergren – Business Builders
Several people have told me how much they enjoyed it, and how professional you are. You seemed as though you had been through my house and looked into my head and that the entire program was about me!

Participants – What They Said
I attended your seminar at Country Companies/IAA, and I am thrilled to receive so many new ideas along with your newsletter. The best 2 hours and $ I could have spent! (both for work and for home!)
Susan Kratzner – Country Companies Employee
I enjoyed your presentation style & your approach to getting organized; it really took some of the intimidation out of getting started to get organized. [You] put things into perspective for me & gave me the much needed push to get started.
Mary Hosier – Operations Mgr. Board of Certified Safety Professionals
I really enjoyed your presentation at our conference. You had a lot of energy on a topic that I thought I was not going to like. I especially liked your email and meeting strategies.I will be putting them to work when I get home.
Ken Killian – Nebraska Association Manager
You
infused fun and self acceptance in her presentation for women leaders about organizing. I took away several helpful tips to pass on to my family and clients!!
Dina Emser – Certified Prof. Development Coach
You inspired me (and helped me understand a little better). I’m cleaning my desk & office right now, and have been for the past hour!
Beth Kolowski – Program Director for IAAP
This was a great seminar! I have a number of things that I can take back to the office and put into place right away.
Howard Call – Ohio Fair Managers Association Inc.
The information you presented was so practical and doable. I appreciated that you provided suggestions that the average person could use. I’m excited to get back to the office and get started.
Debra Gard – Mineral Wells WV
I enjoyed your presentation style and your “non Martha Stewart” approach to getting organized; it really took some of the intimidation out of getting started to get organized for messy folks like me. One of the things that you said that particularly resonated with me was – “The clutter really represents postponed decisions,” that really put some things into perspective for me and gave me the much needed push to get started. I especially appreciated some of your myth busting.
Mary Hosier – Manager of Operations – Board of Certified Safety Professionals
I’m glad we got the opportunity to hear your seminar. The topics you discussed got some intellectual wheels turning for both my wife and I. Thanks again!
Scott Leopold – Arbonne International
Once again, great job on your presentation this morning. I love your enthusiasm & energy…it’s contagious!
Cassie Hart – Freelance Writer
I want to thank you so much for your presentation last night at NAWBO! You did a fantastic job and gave us all a lot to think about in all areas of life!. . . I’ll look forward to putting that into use at my desk!
Bev Riggins – Owner, Midwest Concerge Service
You have already motivated my daughter and I both just from the talk you gave at IAA. She organized her daughter’s closet and her pantry. Got a bunch of stuff she doesn’t use regularly off her kitchen counters. I organized two areas that I’ve been “meaning to do something with”. Still working on a problem cabinet with all my canned goods. Your encouragement was hugely helpful.
Vicki Bennett – IAA Employee
I really enjoyed your talk last night at the quilt guild! You had so many useful suggestions and you delivered them so well.
