Need a Speaker or Facilitator?

I am an award winning Toastmasters speaker and I delight in entertaining audiences with my (usually humorous) true-to-life stories of Motherhood on the front lines, encouraging moms to love the mothering journey they're on. You can see a sample here.

After having spent five years working as a full-time professional Gospel singer for Youth For Christ Germany, performing solo concerts and leading workshops and seminars throughout Germany, France and Belgium, I took an extended leave of absence to raise and homeschool my two children.

Now that my family is much more independent, I am re-entering the field of public speaking and teaching, and am pleased to offer you my services. Whether for a brief 30-60 minute talk for your “mom's morning break” group or special event women's tea, or a series of talks for your women's retreat, or even a full-day seminar for your community, I will be happy to serve you with my gifts, and even tailor my programs to fit your specific needs.

Darlene Hull is an effective and engaging communicator with an honest look at life and a hilarious way of describing it. She is guaranteed to be a fun and memorable addition to any event.

I am also an advocate for “Compassion Canada”, educating people about the need to help underprivileged children through sponsorship around the world. If you hire me to speak, I request 5-30 minutes (depending on the length of the whole workshop) to share the work of Compassion Canada and encourage my listeners to sponsor a child. This time would be in addition to the time that you have contracted me to speak for. For example, if you hire me for a 30-60 minute presentation, at the end of that full 30-60 minute presentation I would request an additional 5-10 minutes to speak about the work of Compassion.

At this point in time I offer the following topics :

Instant Defrazzling: 4 Simple Steps for Coping with Mothering Stress: A great "introduction" talk based on the "C.A.R.E." system of coping with stress as it's happening.
Length: 15 minutes to one hour.

The Mom-Defrazzler: An interactive, practical, sometimes humorous look at motherhood and stress. In this seminar Darlene will discuss the stress that mothers experience every day, and offer quick solutions for immediate stress relief as well as long-term solutions for reducing the stress in daily life. This is probably Darlene's most popular request. The emphasis here is on lifestyle and philosophy of living a stress-reduced life.
Length: 30 minutes to a full weekend seminar.

I highly recommend "The Mom-Defrazzler". Worth it to let you know there are others who feel like you do, and its OK!! Call a mom - any mom - talk, laugh, share, smile, and hug your children. Good to take as a "new mom"

I was very impressed with the Mom-Defrazzler workshop I attended. I found Darlene's tips and tricks to concurring motherhood to be practical and easy to use. I especially loved the workbooks we received since my sleep deprived brain can only absorb so much.

I am so grateful to have Darlene share her first hand experience and wisdom with new Moms like my self. I highly recommend this work shop to any Mom that ever wondered if there was a better way to tackle motherhood. I personally plan on attending as many of Darlene's workshops as possible!

A Perfectly Defrazzled Day: How do you live the perfect day? Darlene will walk participants through one complete day in the life of a mother. Throughout the seminar Darlene will give tips and ideas for helping moms cope with the various challenges she faces, show moms how to manage their time, and give them great ideas for naturally building family and marriage time into each day. The emphasis here is on scheduling everything you need to accomplish into your day - a more practical and hands-on look at a defrazzled lifestyle.
Length: One and a half hours to a full weekend seminar.

A Defrazzled Home Business: Ever wonder how to set up a successful home business without it costing you an absolute fortune? Let Darlene show your group how to set up a self-funding organization for a minimal amount of money.
Note: this is NOT a sales pitch. No specific business will be mentioned in the workshop, and the system works for most types of work-at-home opportunities.
Length: 15 minutes to a full day seminar

The Poisonous Home: Are we poisoning our children by cleaning our home? Are our cosmetic/personal care products causing learning disabilities and behavioural problems in our children? Get the real scoop on the poisons that we are exposed to everyday just "doing life" and how to make things safer. This workshop includes the opportunity to make your own all-purpose cleaning product to take home at the end of the workshop.
Length: 1 -3 hours.

For Churches:

I am able to expand on and format each of the topics above to include Biblical teaching and encouragement.

In addition to those listed above, I also offer the following:

Defrazzled Devotions: How, exactly, is a mother supposed to find time for prayer and Bible Study in her hectic day? Darlene will walk moms through several different and creative forms of prayer and study that will fit into any mom's schedule. This is a very interactive seminar and works best in the half-day through to two-day seminar format, and can also become a 12-week course if you are looking for a Bible Study topic for your church's Women's Bible Study.

I am also an experienced worship leader, and am happy to lead worship on the days I am working with your group. For more information on using me as your worship leader while I am teaching your group, please click here
