Introducing Speaker/Author Bette Dowdell
Bette Dowdell grew up in The Salvation Army, the daughter of not one, but two, preachers, which probably explains a lot.
Bette has been an IBM Systems Engineer, a small-company consultant, the owner of a software company, and, to enhance her investing skills, even a NASD-licensed mutual fund representative for The Vanguard Group.
But what Bette likes to do most of all is help people experience success in how they live their lives. And she’s good at it, although her approach can be pretty bracing for anybody trying to slip-slide their way along. Bette’s not your mommy, but she’s a great friend and confidante.
In speaking, she consolidates her knowledge of business, human nature and an understanding of what bugs the tar out of us to encourage, enlighten and prod. She can speak from either a Christian or a secular perspective. She pretty much can’t speak without at least a little dry humor, while the waving of hands to make a point is optional.
