Who is reading MaxTips!
For those of you who have benefitted from attending our Speeches and Workshops, you will recognize the reader as ‘Henrietta’ – our chicken mascot! For those who have not yet met Henrietta, a little explanation is required. At our sessions, active participation and the offering of meaningful suggestions, or insight, is rewarded by the opportunity to spend some time with Henrietta! The more time Henrietta spends with you, the better your chances of receiving a prize from her at the conclusion. Learning is fun!

"Great newsletter Ann. I hope many of your readers take your tips to heart. Too many people are stressed to the extreme and don't understand why. Breaking everything down the way you did puts it all on the table and lets you break it down into bite size chunks.
Thank you so much for sharing your story."
