Claire Tansey Topic Presentations

fixing dinner - why making dinner can save your life (and how to make it easier)

  • Keynote Presentation
  • Now, more than ever, people are struggling to find time, energy and inspiration to make dinner. This stress has a big impact on their happiness in life and productivity at work. But dinner can actually be a source of energy and joy….as long as it’s uncomplicated.  Fixing Dinner is a motivating, optimistic and fun keynote that focuses on de-stressing dinner so it can become the best part of your day.

    It is designed to inspire people to cook at home so they can reap the emotional, physical, financial, environmental and family relationship benefits. The presentation answers two simple and equally important questions:  What roadblocks prevent regular people from making dinner every day? And what can we do about it?  Through research and extensive experience leading the Fixing Dinner course to hundreds of people, Claire has come up with an answer to both questions.

    Audience takeaways:

    • Clarity on why making dinner is the most important thing we can do for ourselves and our
      families, but also why it can often feel like such a struggle.
    • Practical, effective tools that start de-stressing dinner immediately.
    • Quick wins with Claire’s simple strategies like “The Peaceful Dinner Table Challenge”, the “Home
      Cook Quiz” and more.
    • Inspiration to get cooking to be happier and healthier in all aspects of life.

Claire is a MUST for any corporate event or workshop! She is such a lively, funny speaker that her workshops are a complete joy. The best part is that she sure knows her stuff and her way around the kitchen! Not only was our class with her so much fun, but we also walked away with new skills, recipes and strategies to try out in our own lives.

The session with Claire was so informative, fun and timely as many of us are cooking more these days and want simple tips. My team had many questions and she answered all of them. Claire is approachable, engaging, and we just wanted more time with her.
