If your organization is looking for a highly energetic, unique and informative guest speaker at its next function, look no further than Frances Tanner of TannerTalks. Frances has been presenting for many years in and around the Niagara and GTA regions.

Her motivational talks and workshops are full of “eye opening” information about a variety of topics focusing on visual impairment. These range from personal experiences with media activity (talk shows, videos, awards), sporting life (skiing, curling, canoeing/kayaking, camping, backcountry tripping and tandem cycling) to her business worlds (corporate, hospitality, not-for-profit, entrepreneurial). Frances can provide: tips and tricks for all areas of daily living; products and services that may be of assistance; and how to approach most visually impaired or blind people you meet. She also talks about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude throughout life. Frances is well-known for creating her own “let’s make this work” techniques, and her biggest motivator is when she is told “you can’t do that!”

There is much more to Frances’ wheel of success, and each presentation is sure to touch upon some aspect of YOUR own life. All content is tailored to your group’s specific requirements according to the audience composition, length of time permitted and main topics of interest. Her package includes a portfolio of photographs “Days of Dreams”, technical/assistive aids and, of course, her guide dog Miss Maisey.

Frances leads a full life as a University Graduate, community volunteer, avid sports and outdoor enthusiast, experienced traveler, entrepreneur and has had many exciting adventures. The sudden and total loss of her vision 25 years ago has done little to slow her down, merely given her a new and different perspective. She will deliver to your group a talk that is always interactive, entertaining, interesting and helpful.
