Nice Guys Don't Have to Finish Last
Nice has become the new four letter word for many women. They associate “nice” men with having qualities such as boring, passive, and unromantic. I’m not sure how this happened. My guess is that it is part related to how the media portrays “strong” versus “weak” men and part related to our biology—women neurologically look for traits in men that will ensure that their offspring will have good genes, be provided for and protected. I think women have collapsed Hollywood’s version of the bad boy/strong male with our biology’s’ version of what qualities make for a good mate.

Keynotes and Speaking Engagements
Julie Orlov is a powerful communicator. She engages, educates, and entertains audiences around the world. Below, please find a sample of her offerings. These topics can be delivered as keynotes or break-out sessions and workshops.
An Introduction to The Pathway to Love
Every relationship has a developmental path – a life cycle all its own. Understanding how relationships grow and thrive helps you navigate yours with more ease and grace. This includes interpersonal relationships at home, in the workplace, and in your community.
Julie Orlov presents the four phases of a developing relationship. Each phase has its own specific issues, tasks, and opportunities for growth and transformation. Through interactive discussions and activities, participants will learn how to transform their reactions into greater understanding and acceptance of themselves and others.
Communicating from Intention
One of the basic components to creating relationships that work is your ability to communicate effectively. It is very easy to get caught up in power struggles, fighting over the right to be right. Everyone wants to be heard and understood. Far too often misunderstandings block our pathway to creating positive connections with others. Whether you are relating to someone at work, at home, or in your greater social community, learning to communicate from intention is a must.
This presentation takes a look at all the traps that obstruct our way to clear communications. We will discuss ways to mitigate obstructions and proactively create greater understanding. In addition, specific communicating skills that address problem-solving and conflict-management will be presented.
Reclaiming Your Power
In order to establish healthy boundaries and make powerful choices, you first need to identify the values, needs, and wants that comprise your boundaries. This enables you to retain your integrity, accomplish your goals, and enhance your well-being. Even though you may believe you already know what you want and don’t want in your life, this doesn’t mean you act accordingly. Re-evaluating your values, needs and wants sets the stage for making choices that are in your best interest.
This presentation is highly participative. A process for Reclaiming Your Power will be introduced. At the end of the presentation, each participant will have created a clear understanding of their values, needs, and wants, as well as a specific strategy for maintaining healthy boundaries, self-respect and integrity.
