The Program...

Simply Ridiculous: A Realization and Transformation of Ridiculous Beliefs and Behaviors

From her recent book of the same name, Millicent shares the results of her personal transformation, from "Human by Birth" to "Enlightened by Choice", in a humorous way that will make you take an uncanny look at your own life. As she notes, "We're all having the human experience, and it is easier to laugh about it together than cry about it alone."

In this interactive presentation you'll laugh at the ridiculous faux pas, gaffes, and unbecoming behaviors in her past -- and maybe even see a little bit of yourself. Her creative approach addresses difficult topics in a non-threatening manner, revealing the impact that ridiculous behaviors have on us, and on others. Millicent believes that "holding on to the need to be right" is the biggest barrier to successful business and personal relationships. The question is, "Who could I be without all of that attitude?"
