Paula is a creative, energetic, and passionate speaker who encourages women to stop being their own toughest taskmaster, and start nurturing themselves by weaving more joy, creativity, and balance back into their lives.

Many women, especially entrepreneurial and executive women, want to do and be the best in all aspects of their lives, struggling with a balancing act that seems destined to leave them feeling overwhelmed, with their lives frayed and their energies worn thin.

Weaving is the metaphor Paula uses to show women how to integrate seemingly conflicting roles, how to find balance amidst stress, and how to exercise their power of choice to weave a life of meaning moment by moment.

The following topics can be adapted to any size group and to a keynote, seminar, or weekend retreat format. As with her weaving, Paula specializes in creating a customized experience for her clients.
