If you answer yes to three or more of these questions, you may be an Indispensable Woman (or man).

Indispensable Women are all about giving. We want to be there for everyone: our friends, children, partners and parents. Our standards are high-at home, in the workplace, and in the community we expect the best of ourselves, deriving great satisfaction in a job well done. But what is it costing us?

In this dynamic seminar Ellen Sue Stern, author of the bestselling book THE INDISPENSABLE WOMAN and it’s companion--RUNNING ON EMPTY: MEDIATIONS FOR INDISPENSABLE WOMEN, helps people balance the competing demands of contemporary life. Her unique perspective-drawing from twenty years experience presenting seminars for corporations, recovery conferences, women’s groups and health and wellness-speaks to people from every walk of life. Through a blend of spiritual insight and concrete tools, Ellen Sue Stern teaches Indispensable Women how to stop trying to do everything and be everything to everybody and instead to honor their own energy by focusing on what’s truly important in their lives.

RUNNING ON EMPTY: HOW TO STOP MAKING YOURSELF INDISPENSABLE is available as a keynote, seminar or all-day workshop. It can be customized for audiences of both women and men who want to stop making themselves indispensable at home or in the workplace.
