Speaking
The principals of Heartfelt Associates, Tim Merriman and Lisa Brochu, each have decades of experience in public speaking, facilitation, planning, and training. They have provided keynote addresses and seminars on a variety of topics related to community building, ecotourism, and communications theory and practice to audiences in twenty countries. Either or both can help provide your audience with new understanding of research-based implications for more productive communications. Their interactive style of presentation engages audiences fully, in a 45-minute keynote format or a seminar format of several hours. Whatever your needs for a speaker, we can work with you to customize the presentation appropriately in terms of content and delivery.
Planning
Sometimes you need a helping hand or an objective viewpoint to get your planning process started or move it further down the road to successful implementation. Our decades of experience with a variety of corporate, nonprofit, and government organizations and communities around the globe will give you the confidence to get your ideas on paper and ready for action. With every project, we provide only the amount of assistance you need – simple facilitation of your process, review of your plan documents, a complete consultation, or training in how to complete the process on your own in the future.
