Are You Fit to be in Business?
Being a business owner is more than just working long hours, networking, building business relationships, and making money. All these things are extremely important, but the bigger question is “are you feeding and training your body to be the very best you can be in business?” Jan Tilley gives practical insight into how to build a healthy, fit body that can successfully handle the daily challenges of thriving in today’s competitive business environment.
Finding Your Personal Path to Wellness
The demands of our busy lives often leave us settling for less than the very best. In this presentation, Jan Tilley challenges her audience to find their own personal path to wellness. We each encounter circumstances in life that stop us in our tracks and make us look introspectively at how we are taking care of our body, mind and spirit. Tilley’s inspirational message encourages listeners to get back on track - taking charge of their life by embracing behaviors that lead to a life of health and well-being.
Aging Gracefully – Wrinkles & All!
The things we once counted of utmost importance – our looks and our functionality slowly deteriorate as we age. It seems we turn 50 and gravity plays a dirty trick on us, we begin to notice an odd stiffness in our joints, and that oddly placed gray hair we found in our 30’s has now become our predominant hair color. Regardless of how hard we work at staying “young-at-heart,” ultimately we feel powerless to do anything about the natural progression of life. No doubt good nutrition and physical activity will help slow the natural decline that happens as we age, but the real secret to aging gracefully is learning to embrace the journey – to invest time and energy in things that will help you leave a legacy of health and hope to your world.

I don’t have to tell you, life is hectic! Between your job, spouse, family, friends, cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands and millions of other responsibilities, you are likely scrambling to fit everything into your day. There are days when a healthy meal seems like the impossible dream. In this presentation, Jan Tilley gives specific guidelines on how to make healthy choices whether making a quick-to-fix meal from the grocery store or running through the drive through. Healthy eating does not have to be difficult – Jan shows us real-life ways to ‘conquer the kitchen’!
