I had a ball yesterday (Saturday 31 October 2009). I did a one hour presentation to the Horticultural Therapy Symposium here in Adelaide on the topic of "Linking Leisure and Wellbeing". It was one of the most satisfying speaking sessions I have done. The audience was so responsive that I soon threw away my notes and 'winged it'. Lots of enthusiastic thank you's afterwards and a goodly number of copies of my book, "Enjoy Being You" were eagerly snapped up.
While the symposium was run by the Hort Therapists, the audience (about 50) was a mix of professionals from a range of diversional therapies, occupational therapists and some physiotherapists.
My approach to leisure as a powerful means of personal growth and development is a key part of diversional therapy so they were very much in sympathy with my presentation. I simply added a new, deep and life-expanding approach to leisure. I like to think I put a lot of passion and pizzazz into my presentation too!
Anyone in those areas who want a speaker? I would love to oblige!
