What Does Lianne do in Her Presentations?

A few years ago, I was asked to develop a special series of 1-hour adult education presentations and discussion topics especially suited for a mature audience who wants to be educated and stimulated while being entertained. Currently, I have developed 50 enriching historical and cultural subjects that have proven to be immensely popular. Education should be fun so I skip all the ‘boring bits’ about history and head right into all the relevant ‘juicy stuff’ people want to know–or wish they knew–when in school.

The presentations are visual with accompanying slides, and, of course, with me in relevant, authentic period clothing that matches the topic! It finds a ‘sweet spot’ between lecture, performance, education and entertainment.
