From Down Under Dreams to Life up on Stage
So you want to be a motivational speaker. Looks easy doesn't it? You get up on stage, speak for thirty minutes or so, get treated like a celebrity, applauded for your comments and a big check besides. Woo Hoo! Sign me up Scottie.
Hold on a minute. You may want to think twice before buying a gold star to hang on your dressing room door. There's a saying among members of the National Speakers Association: "Professional speaking is the easiest business to get into and the hardest one to stay in." Amen, Sister. Why is that? Because everyone has something to say. Everyone has a story or a lesson to share with the world. The trick is to find someone willing to pay for it.
After twenty something years as a professional piano entertainer around the world I eventually reached the burn out stage. I was ready to smack the next audience member who thought an original funny line was "Play it Again, Sam" (usually accompanied with a cheezy grin). And if one more person requested "Theme from The Titanic" I was going to scream. On stage. Then one day I attended a Toastmasters meeting and my whole world changed. (Toastmasters is an international organization that teaches people how to speak in public, craft a speech & improve a sales presentation. Great stuff!)
Check out www.TheresaBehenna.com and see just how much has changed in ten years. Way cool! Way fun! Way to fulfill a dream.

Would you hire this motivational speaker?
Only if you want your group to stay awake and laugh, learn & lighten up!
"Entertaining, funny, inspirational.......amazing musical talent!........great way to mix music with a message.......relevant points that made me think she was one of us..... SO glad I came! .High energy set a great tone for the whole conference!"These are comments most often used after Theresa Behenna's musical keynotes.
Too many conferences are one big snooze fest. Think fun, celebrities, humor, music with a message - think THERESA BEHENNA! This red headed piano playing Aussie ROCKS at opening & closing conferences delivering entertaining energetic keynotes that become the talk of the water cooler for months afterwards. Highly interactive, hilarious stories, amazing music, practical points and mega motivation, Theresa tells tales of international travels on a piano bench that took her from playing in a pub Down Under to the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. Well known celebrities she's rubbed shoulders with include Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John, Donald Sutherland, Princess Grace, James Bond, Andrea Bocelli and Matt Lauer. She is SO almost a Diva! Theresa gets down 'n' dirty on the piano keys with songs like Georgia on My Mind, Piano Man and Great Balls of Fire - way cool, way different, way to stay awake! If you're looking for a special program for your next meeting, conference or special event - congratulations, you just found it! She can even emcee your next awards program mixing it up with music and fun. No worries Mate!
