Making a Difference in the Media
For
many years concerned citizens have expressed a deep desire to change the
violent, sensational, and immoral climate of today’s mass media.
Activist groups such as Parent’s TV Council, Focus on the Family
and Morality in Media have organized successful advertising boycotts and
letter writing campaigns in an effort to get our voices heard.
Talk-show
host, motivational speaker and media consultant Teresa
Tomeo, says now is the time for us to join these groups
and organizations and speak out. Teresa conducts media
awareness seminars providing audiences with the tools to
make a difference. Teresa will show you the enormous impact
the media have on our children and society as well as what
you can do about it. Find out how just one voice can make
a difference in the type of information and entertainment
that floods our homes and our lives on a daily basis.
Teresa's
Testimony: From Secular Anchor to Media Evangelist
So many Americans seem to have more when it comes to materialism and their
professional lives. They have the big job, the big house, and the brand
new car. But why do the studies and psychological tests show that more
is equaling less when it comes to happiness? Motivational speaker and talk
show host Teresa Tomeo answers that question through her own inspiring
personal testimony. For many years she worked as an award winning radio
and TV reporter in her home town of Detroit. Despite her success and recognition
something was missing. Then through a series of events she came back to
Christ and the Church of her youth. Her life has never been the same. Hear
her testimony and find out how she learned to tune into the signals God
was sending her and how to follow His will for her life. Learn how her
re-commitment to Christ eventually led to a communications career much
different than the one Teresa had planned for herself and how the Lord
continues to accomplish in her life more than Teresa could have ever imagined.
Just
for Teens: Choices and Challenges Facing Today's Teens
Whether it's the Internet, video games, rap music, movies, or prime time TV, our children are being bombarded with harmful messages that can dramatically impact their young lives. Teresa Tomeo knows this first hand. As a teen growing up in the 70's Teresa succumbed to the pressure to be thin and was eventually hospitalized for the eating disorder, Anorexia Nervosa. Teresa draws from personal experience and her devout Catholic faith to help young people deal with pressure from the culture and pressure from their peers. She provides hope as well as Godly guidelines that will help teens and families remain true to their faith.
Ten
Things I've Learned About Living a Godly Life
For many living a Godly life in today’s world might seem unattainable
or at the least extremely difficult and complicated. Not so according to
Catholic Talk-Show Host and Motivational speaker Teresa Tomeo. Teresa fell
away from her Catholic faith as a college student. When she began her marriage
as well as her broadcast-journalism career she learned it’s actually
a life apart from God that is not only difficult and complicated but empty
and painful. Find out how Teresa used some of the simple but profound truths
she learned as a young girl to start turning her life around. Teresa’s
top ten list of Godly guidelines will give you hope, make you laugh, and
help you energize your faith life.
Extreme
Makeover: Seeing Yourself through the Eyes of Christ
Whether
it’s losing weight, having cosmetic surgery, remodeling
the house, or even finding that dream job, everyone seems
to be taking the topic of makeovers to extremes. Long before
the words “extreme makeover” were part of our
everyday vocabulary, motivational speaker and broadcast-journalist
Teresa Tomeo was learning the hard way that true happiness
and fulfillment can’t be found in one’s appearance,
job, or home but only through faith in Jesus Christ.
In
this inspiring presentation you’ll learn how Teresa’s
extreme makeover was done not by a plastic surgeon or a
home-improvement specialist you might see on TV, but by
the great physician Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ. Teresa
will share how the media and its influence have impacted
her own life and will also provide seminar participants
with the tools needed to makeover their media habits and
positively impact the culture.
Handmaids of the Lord; Re-discovering the Dignity of Women
Radical feminism, the liberal news media, and Hollywood have been busy for decades convincing women and society that the Catholic Church is an oppressive institution interested only in domination and control. In this presentation Catholic author, speaker, and syndicated talkshow host, Teresa Tomeo shows us the deep beauty and truth of Church teaching on women and examines women's roles in the Church. Teresa draws from her personal testimony as well as her work as a Catholic journalist covering Church issues. Teresa was also among only 250 women in the world invited to Rome to take part in a recent world congress on John Paul the Second's groundbreaking letter to women "Mulieris Dignitatem/On the Dignity and Vocation of Women." Teresa will share her insights from the historic Rome gathering and outline how the Church teachings represent real freedom for the daughters as well as sons of the living God.
The Media and the Culture of Death When most people think of the media and its consistent promotion of the culture of death, they sometimes limit the spin doctors to the news media alone. But as Teresa Tomeo points out in this eye-opening presentation, the corruptive campaign promoting abortion, birth-control, euthanasia, and sexual promiscuity is insidious and has crept into virtually every area of the mass media and our culture including advertising, music, TV and radio, Hollywood, and even children's programming. Teresa shows us the depth of this problem and how we can engage rather than give in to the culture of death.
Managing
the Media in a Crisis Situation
Whether it’s a school shooting or a case of workplace violence --
a critical situation is bound to grab media attention. If you are not prepared
to face the cameras and the microphones, even a minor incident could suddenly
spin out of control and become larger than life. How you handle questions
and concerns raised by reporters could have a long lasting impact on your
company or school, as well as your students or employees. With veteran
broadcast journalist and media consultant, Teresa Tomeo, you can address
these important issues. Teresa is a media consultant and media trainer
for senior level executives in the law enforcement, education, public relations
and automotive fields, teaching crisis management and communication skills.
Seminar
participants are trained through a series of real-life
exercises that incorporate both seasoned news professionals
and state of the art broadcasting equipment. Don’t
let the media take advantage of an already vulnerable and
volatile situation. Let Teresa’s over 20 years of
news reporting experience help you gain and maintain control.
