I’m honored to be chosen once again as a presenter for both the RTR and WRTR this season. Here are my dates for the WRTR:
Monday Happy Hour (3-4 PM)
- CALM, SMART & AWARE: Solo Woman Nomad Safety With A Twist
Tuesday Happy Hour (3-4 PM)
- SEVERE WEATHER FOR NOMADS: Staying Safe on the Road
Wednesday Happy Hour (3-4 PM)
- STORM SIGNALS: A Beginner’s Guide to Deciphering Doppler Radar
I’m not sure yet about my RTR dates and times, but here are the two sessions I’ll be presenting:
- Creative & Emotional Survival for Nomads: Staying Grounded, Focused and Resilient on the Road
- Storm Safety for Nomads: A 5-Minute Decision System That Saves Lives
Really looking forward to giving these presentations! All but one are brand new, and the older one (Severe Weather) will be updated.
