Public Speaking

Amber Trevaskis Bloomer

Personal Development Coach and Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator

All presentations are around 30-45 minutes long, but can be adapted to a shorter time where needed. Presentations are offered as one-offs or they can be offered to appropriate groups as a series due to their content being very compatible. These talks are currently presented live, using Zoom or other video conferencing software. Audience discussion is encouraged and there is always time for questions.

Communicating With Teens

What are some of the important techniques for communicating with your teen and how might you stay calmer?

Let’s face it, communicating with teens can be difficult and seemingly impossible. This presentation will help you learn some basic tips and tricks for improving your teen communication skills so that there might be less door slamming and back talk. We will also cover some basic techniques so you can learn to remain calm(er) in the midst of heated situations (and by doing so you can start to model these techniques for your children).

7 Myths of momming #mommyths

This presentation will uncover the subconscious myths that many of us judge ourselves against.

We will learn the 7 myths of motherhood that we hold ourselves accountable to. These standards are like the long-searched for unicorn in that they are unattainable, yet we continue to strive for them. And guess what … I don’t believe we suffer from Mom Guilt! I believe it’s worse than that. I’ll explain in this presentation.

Creating Time for Self-Care

In this presentation we will learn some time-saving techniques so that you actually feel like you can make yourself a priority.

Despite being super busy it is ever important to take time for ourselves so that we can recharge, yet we never feel like we have the time to take the time. Can you see the problem here? Let’s learn some time management skills so that you have time to breath and even possibly do something …dare I say … fun?

Shame Resilience and Self Worth

Why are these important? What can be done to increase both our resilience and self worth? What impact can these have for us and our family?

Based on Brené Brown’s Daring Way™ program, we will explore shame, wholehearted living, self-compassion, perfectionism and self-worth. We will look at how these impact us throughout our life and how can we help our children understand them more fully so they too can improve their self worth and embrace a Whole Hearted Life.

Happiness - what is it and how do we get it?

Let’s look at what happiness is for each of us, what everyday activities have the biggest impacts and how we can go about improving the happiness of our whole family.

What will make us happy? It differs for all of us but there are some fundamentals that we can all start with. In this presentation we cast a broad net to start to identify what happiness is for you, and what you might start to do to improve it. I will also identify one big change that you can make today, that will lead to increased happiness in just one week.

What is self care anyhow?

We often hear about how we should take care of ourselves and practice this elusive ‘self-care’, but what is that really and why should you bother?

Let’s look at the amazing impact of taking care of ourselves, and how the ripple effect can flow out to our family and those around us. We will talk about what self-care might look like for each of us and we’ll discuss some ideas of easily-implementable options.
