• Live A Flourishing Life — Inspired by the Aristotelian concept of eudaimonia or happiness as "living well and doing well," to live a flourishing life is to examine the choices that determine our direction, and the decisions which ultimately determine our destiny.
• Unleashing The Creativity Within — Drawing from a wealth of life experiences as a published author, teacher, restaurateur, and business owner, Rita delivers an energizing and entertaining presentation on unleashing one’s creative potential.
• Exploring One’s Family Story — Everyone has a story to tell. By sharing her personal journey as she explored the story behind her father murder, Rita makes a compelling case about the need to “understand where we came from to know where we’re going.”
• Igniting Your Resilient Spirit — Rita believes most people have an Iwishihad. What’s that? A new breed of designer dog? An Iwishihad is that faint, internal flame that burns inside us; that dim glow that reminds us of all the things “I wish I had” tried to do. In this energizing and entertaining presentation, Rita ignites the spark that fuels the resilient spirit within us all.
