2008 Executive Women’s Conference Speakers February 22, 2008

Suzie Humphreys is a different style of motivator…slightly off-center in her style the way your oldest and best friend is, honest and open, but sensitive to the painful side of life, the side that is one step away from joy! She lifts, jolts, and nurtures her audiences and they love every minute of it. She makes them laugh until they swear they can’t laugh any more and then she grabs them again. Suzie has hobnobbed with the “great” and the “near great.” She has been fired, been broke, been disappointed, been a petrified expectant mother at 40 years old and lived her life with a passion for learning not only “how to be better, but to see things differently.” Suzie Humphrey’s believes that you can do anything you want to do and enjoy getting there, heartbreak and all.

LaDonna Gatlin believes one defining moment can redefine our lives. She knows firsthand that we can't live some else's dream---that in order to be our personal best, we must find our own song to sing. She literally grew up on stage singing with her brothers, country music’s legendary Gatlin Brothers. In the early 1970’s the Gatlin’s took their family harmony to Nashville. But a funny thing happened on the road to stardom. LaDonna got married. At this defining moment, she realized success could be measured in many different ways. So she took a giant leap of faith, chose to follow her heart and sing a different song” apart from her bothers. LaDonna Gatlin has spent her entire career empowering people to “sing their own song”.

Sandy Queen’s philosophy is “Lighten Up – This is the only Life you have!". Because of her energetic stage presence and great sense of humor, Sandy is known internationally as a dynamic trainer and speaker. Her unique blend of insight to human nature along with over twenty years of experience in training and development, education, healthcare and parenting helps her connect with her audiences on a personal level.
