What She's Not Telling You: Why Women Hide the Whole Truth and What Marketers Can Do About It
Mary Lou Quinlan reveals actionable ways and fresh insights to build business with women in a fun and irreverent style. Sharing candid consumer videos from her extensive research, she dissects the “halftruths” and “whole truths” of women's buying behavior and shares advice on building more effective brands, communications and relationships with the powerhouse female consumer.
The Inspiring Secret to Learning to Let Go
In a busy world where we are filled with so many burdens and worries, how do we find a way to release the anxiety and to find relief and resolution? Based on her moving book, The God Box: Sharing My Mother’s Gift of Faith, Love and Letting Go, speaker and bestselling author Mary Lou Quinlan gives a captivating presentation of her remarkable discovery of her mother’s God Boxes, filled with two decades of handwritten notes of her worries and wishes. The simple box held the secrets of her ritual for finding resolution for her own cares, as well as those of her family, friends and even strangers who leaned on her.
Although she always knew that her mother kept her petitions in a God Box, Miss Quinlan never adopted the practice herself. Instead, Miss Quinlan, a highly accomplished marketing and advertising executive, relied on her own can-do nature and tried to carry the burdens of everyday life on her shoulders and in her heart. But as she pored over her mother’s loving notes, she unearthed lessons in compassion, perseverance, aspiration and letting go. Mary Lou incorporates video images and music in this one-woman tour de force of emotion and laughter that will empower audiences to find their own path to releasing their life’s burdens.
