Andrea Mastrobattista:
Living an INSPIRING Life

Many people are on a quest to discover their most fulfilling life. But in these tough times, accomplishing this goal seems impossible. For instance, the economic conditions we are facing can be frightening and demoralizing. No matter what circumstances you face--economic, physical or emotional--you may feel there is no way out.

Well, there is a way out . . . POSITIVISM. Andrea Mastrobattista has a vast understanding of and unique perspective on negative emotions. Instead of succumbing to negativity, she decided to do something about it, not only for herself but for others as well.

Andrea has spina bifida, a birth condition that affects the spinal nerves. Having a physical handicap has helped her understand and embrace the psychological freedom and power to choose a positive outlook. Over time, she realized that her inspirational messages translate to anyone who is struggling. So, Andrea became speaker and teacher on a quest to give inspiration to others. Her core belief is that anyone, regardless of the circumstances, has the power to create and live what she calls “an inspiring life.”

To increase public awareness about the power of positivism, Andrea has developed workshops for people of all ages and has spoken to various peer and professional groups. She focuses on topics that help others out of their current emotional turmoil. Her overall theme is “Living an Inspiring Life”, and her workshops include: “Facing Your Fears”, “Experiencing Joy”, “Networking: Making the HUMAN Connection” and “Transforming Negatives into Positives.”

She has conducted her inspirational workshops for such organizations as Far Hills Country Day School, South Orange Middle School, The New Jersey Professional Coaches Association, Dress for Success and the Business and Professional Women (Bernardsville chapter). She is currently booked with inspirational workshops and speaking engagements through the second quarter of 2010.

Andrea’s philosophies are applicable to anyone who is searching for peace, happiness and the responsibilities that come with these choices. Her mission is to help each person she encounters follow the path to his or her own inspiring life.

“Inspirational speaking is truly a reciprocal experience for me,” says Andrea. “When I share my thoughts and experiences with people and see the enthusiasm on their faces and in their reactions, THAT’S what inspires me!
