This presenter will come a long way to be with you—all the way from Heaven! America's 16th First Lady, Mary Todd Lincoln, walks onto the stage and, with both humor and pathos, immediately begins to reveal fascinating, private stories from her famous family that mesmerize the audience.

Lessons from the Past is a galvanizing motivational program for your conference or corporate meeting. M. Kay duPont, CSP, CPDT, and author of the award-winning Loving Mr. Lincoln: The Personal Diaries of Mary Todd Lincoln, enthralls you with lessons and mistakes from her own life, captivates your attention, and warms your heart. Authentically dressed, and using Mary's "own words," Kay takes you back to the 1800s and reminds you that the more people change, the more they stay the same. Woven within her story are lessons and reminders to help you be more successful and enjoy life more. Because of her angel sight and "friends in high places," Mary now has a unique understanding of life, love and success, and the principles she mentions can be customized for your group and organization.

They may be enhanced with Kay's cassette program, her video, How Your Image Affects Your Future; and "anchors" like buttons, certificates, and kaleidoscopes.
