KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Mary Kay Mueller, known as “The Gratitude Guru,” is the author of the book “Taking Care of Me: The Habits of Happiness”. As the popular bumper sticker puts it, “If Momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!” While some of us grew up believing the goal of being happy was selfish, now we’re all understanding that our own happiness is one of the greatest gifts we can give those around us.

In this inspirational and insightful presentation, author and international trainer MK Mueller reminds us that greater happiness and increased energy have been found to be the result
of specific beliefs and behaviors. Based on her highly acclaimed book by the same title, this presentation covers the four reasons we run from happiness; the habits of the happiest people; how to make our happiness contagious; and much, much, more. It’s a guaranteed feel good!

Lynette Brown, dairy farm wife, Harlan County Extension Assistant, mother and grandmother who loves to make people laugh and smile. “Ag-ceptional Women” A humorous look at the role that ag women have in farming and ranching and how it is different than that of our mothers’ and grandmothers’ roles and how it is the same. We will answer the question: What would farming be if there were no Ag-ceptional Women? Take time out for yourself, improve your overall sense of well-being and, embrace your role in agriculture.
