Social/Emotional, Mental, and Spiritually.
Healthy Living in a
Supersized Solciety
Teresa Price, CEOE
NAEOP Mid-Atlantic Area Director
Each day, one in four Americans will visit a fast
food restaurant. The World Health Organization
has declared obesity a global epidemic. 40
percent of American meals are eaten outside the
home. Your work schedule, home responsibilities,
appointments, and family matters are just some of
the things which can cause you to stray from
eating healthy and making good choices. How
can you be expected to eat the right thing you’re
your life is filled with the unexpected? Together
we will explore some ways to stay on the right
path, control your urge to skip meals, and pick up
some tips on making good choices while you are
away from home. This presentation concludes
with an interactive activity for all participants.
A Focus on Children in
Poverty
Wilsey Hamilton
The workshop is designed to
increase awareness of factors that
impoverished children face. In addition, it will

lasting results from the child/student in an
educational setting or abroad.

anything you set your mind to do. Find the
keys to success and learn how to set goals to
achieve it.
Communication Skills
Annarose Ingarra-Milch
Whether we are dealing with
parents, students, teachers,
colleagues, or supervisors, our
success depends on our ability to effectively
communicate. This highly interactive program
will help you understand the fundamentals of
communication and how miscommunication
happens, build self-awareness of your
communication style and how to adjust your
style in order to have more productive
conversations, as well as assist you in
identifying a practical and proven strategy that
you can immediately apply to improve your
skill set.
Lead From Where
You Are
Andrew Barbone
We will explore how there is
a leader in all of us that can innovate,
contribute, and help raise our organization
higher than we think. Have you ever thought,
"If they asked me my opinion, I know my
contribution would improve things" or "Why
can't we just do it this way? It would make so
much more sense". Come prepared to discuss,
laugh, and receive ways to return to your
workplace motivated to participate in your
organization's rise to excellence! Feel free to
bring an electronic device, although it is not
necessary!
