Annette Stanwick Speaks About "Girl Power"

Professional speaker, award-winning author and global freedom facilitator Annette Stanwick made two presentations at CUC Thursday, February 9.  At 11 am she spoke to female students about, "Girl Power: Self-Esteem and Unstoppable Joy."  At 4:30 pm she addressed faculty and staff ladies on the topic, "Choices, Challenges and Champions."

"It was so refreshing to see and hear Annette again," said Debbie Chenowith, Director of Student Finance.  "Her message of forgiveness is so important." 

"Annette's message was encouraging," said Joy Fehr, vice president for academic administration.  "Using her life experiences to illustrate, she told us that we can live free from the constraints of pain and fear once we accept God's forgiveness.  I was blessed by her presentation and look forward to her return visit to our campus in October."

Stanwick's book, Forgiveness: The Mystery and Miracle, has won 2 national awards in Canada and was short-listed in 3 categories in the US. Her book is connecting with people at a deep level and is instrumental in transforming lives and hearts of individuals from all types of backgrounds and all types of circumstances.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the program," said another participant.  "The whole event was beautifully prepared and presented.  It made me feel like CUC really values us as students, faculty and staff."

Before starting her career as a speaker, author and Global Freedom Facilitator, Annette had decades of experience as a nurse, nursing educator and health care executive. She served in senior positions of several hospitals in Canada, including Vice President of a large hospital in Toronto. She facilitated the move and transition into three new hospitals, serving as policy expert, along with responsibilities for patient care, staffing, equipping, and program development. With her background and understanding of health care administration and working closely with physicians and other professionals she became known for her expertise in relationship development, team building, and conflict resolution.
