Speaking.
If you’d like to contact me about speaking to your group, please call me at 314-849-2989, or email me at g.doherty@att.net.
​
Speaking engagements give me the opportunity to address subjects I especially care about with a variety of groups and audiences. I have enjoyed speaking with large church congregations on topics such as faith, peace, and trust; new business executives from AT&T on the importance on keeping a balance between professional and personal lives; new nurses and doctors during orientation at Cardinal Glennon Hospital on dealing with the death of a patient. I particularly like speaking to teens and their parents on adolescent and parenting issues. Such talks usually are given during days of reflection, during school assemblies, during faculty in-service days, or during parent meetings.
​
I have delivered presentations on the following subjects:
​
-
Parenting teens
-
Family relationships and communication
-
Self-esteem and self-image
-
Self-care

Coping with death, dying and grief—adult and child
