What Would You Call This?

I'm excited to share that I recently presented my very first talk on the subject of this blog: sensitive children! For a first effort, I feel pretty good about the material I presented and the way in which I delivered it. I have quite a bit of tweaking to do, of course, but all in all, I'm pleased with how it went. The feedback forms I received showed that my audience agreed. It's a new beginning and I'm thrilled to have stretched myself in this way. So … yay, me!

But enough self-congratulations. The reason I'm sharing this with you is that, though the talk was interesting enough, the title of the talk was definitely lacking intrigue. I called it, "Understanding the Sensitive Child," which, though descriptive, is just not that captivating.

There is a possibility I'll be speaking on the topic at a wonderful conference this fall, (yes – thrilled am I!) and I have a feeling that if I keep this as the name, it will just be the crickets and me enjoying my lecture.

Can you help with some ideas? I really tend to get stuck when it comes to titles.

I guess you need to know what the talk is about before you can reasonably be expected to offer a title idea. In a nutshell, I address the characteristics of sensitive kids, share some stories to make them relatable, and then share some practical strategies to help address the challenges inherent in said characteristics.

What would you call this?

What would get you to come to my lecture instead of the one down the hall? Even better - what would entice you to come to the conference just to hear my lecture?

Any and all ideas are welcomed and appreciated! Thanks so much!!!

Cheers!
