CHANGES
We all go through changes, both personally

process. Joan’s life has been filled with
unexpected changes. Her talk will take
you through another perspective of coping
with, and hearing an insight into dealing
with change in a positive productive way.
Looking for and finding the advantages in

WOMEN’S ISSUES
Joan has lived her life as a widow, single
mom, a business woman, a wife, disabled and
trying to do it all…. Joan targets her
women’s conferences and meetings with
thought provoking insights into ‘pulling up
your boots straps’ and getting on with it…..
and all with a smile. From laughter to
tears, Joan’s keynote at her many women’s
conferences has proven to be the highlight
of the day!
INSURANCE This industry is a ‘natural fit’
for Joan. Due to the loss of a spouse,
Joan is highly qualified to share her
personal experience in knowing what the
people in this business do and how they
serve, young and old alike. Life
insurance enabled Joan to put a roof over
her daughter’s head, and eventually
assisted her in paying for Joy’s college.
ORGANIZATION
As a blind woman, organizational skills are
essential. Helping her audience to
re-evaluate how they organize their lives
both personally and professionally, will
have the audience looking at the possible
changes needed to become more efficient and
functioning at a higher level.
Prior to her loss of sight, Joan Brock worked at The Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School, where she frequently addressed groups on behalf of the school. From there it was a natural transition to a professional speaking career.
Joan is the co author of More Than Meets The Eye, which has been translated into several languages and is also a Reader's Digest Condensed Book. She won the hearts of the insurance industry's "Million Dollar Round Table" and the NBC Today Show with her story of courage, perseverance and acceptance.
In 2000, Joan was named national spokesperson to Prevent Blindness America, a non-profit organization dedicated to eye health safety training and research.
Joan's keynote address, More Than Meets The Eye, is a surefire attention grabber as Joan draws parallels between her own story and the challenges which face organizations. The very nature of today's business environment means the possibilities of merger, reorganization, or economic turndown are constantly on the horizon, and organizations must absorb such events with a minimum of disruption. As Joan puts it, "Life is full of irreversible opportunities, and you have a choice to see them as assets or obstacles." Urging audiences to "play the hand you're dealt," Joan helps organizations see corporate challenges from a new perspective.
