 Bobbie Staten bases her presentations on a paradoxical
foundation: graduate health degrees combined with a healthy and
sometimes-irreverent sense of humor about people and the lives they lead. In her
witty way, she manages to have audiences laugh through topics of wellness,
happiness, life, stress management, customer service, and people skills.
Once a chronic dieter (the rhythm method of girth control),
and an ex-two-pack-a-day smoker, Bobbie Staten understands how hard it is to
make lifestyle changes. However, first-hand knowledge provides her with a
special insight that helps audiences find the courage to take the plunge and
"change what needs to be changed!" Bobbie Staten's health philosophy is based on
each individual's responsibility for self-care, guided by--but not controlled by
healthcare professionals.
Bobbie Staten began her career as a nurse and has held
positions of head nurse, nursing supervisor, and psychiatric nursing instructor.
She opened a nursing practice in 1988 to help others caught up in the "I can't"
mode, where she helped 1000's reach their personal health goals.
Bobbie Staten holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a
Master of Public Health from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Her natural humor emerged while speaking before groups and as a result, more and
more groups began asking her to appear as an after-dinner humorist. Bobbie
Staten's humor has a message...one of finding balance in life. The message is
simple and as old as time ... If you have your health and your family, you just
about have it all. So lighten up. Take your work, but not yourself, so
seriously!
Bobbie Staten has been speaking professionally since 1986 and
now pursues this full time. She is a member of Sigma Theta Tau (the National
Scholastic Nursing Honor Society), the American Nurses Association, and the
National Speakers Association. Bobbie is married and has one teenage, son,
Steven. She lives in the beautiful South in a 110-year-old farmhouse with her
family, two spoiled-rotten dogs, and an occasional mouse.
