Carolina Fernandez's wit and high energy are her hallmark. Known for her whimsical visual aids and her vast selection of personal anecdotes, she portrays authenticity from the moment she steps onto the platform. Fernandez's personal struggles with injury (how many people do you know who have been hit by a car while crossing the street not once--but twice?); tragedy (she lost her father as a young girl when he was killed in a plane crash on his way to a business meeting); and suffering (nothing is worse than watching your own child battle cancer and the harsh effects of chemo; Carolina's son is successfully battling leukemia) have totally broken her spirit. Yet she rises above these challenges to bring a message of healing and hope, with compassion, creativity...and boundless energy.      

Carolina Fernandez presents topics that include, but are not limited to, the following via Seminars, Workshops and Keynotes:

  • "Rocket Mom: Strategies To Blast You Into Brilliance" is her signature presentation for moms in all phases of the motherhood journey. This presentation can be tailored for time and audience size requirements; it can be presented to both religious and secular audiences. 
  • The Four Personalities as categorized by the ancient philosopher Hippocrates. Enjoy Carolina's colorful presentation: "What Color is Your Purse?" 
  • Character Development in forthright language: "13 Character Qualities that Count." 
  • Workshops for mothers of toddlers: "How to Keep Your Toddler Occupied So You Can Get Something Done." Humorous and highly instructional, Carolina utilizes techniques based on a decade of homeschooling.  
  • "Happy Painting": Learn how to paint when you have no idea what you're doing. A hands-on, lighthearted seminar or workshop.
  • "G.A.T." lecture series. Getting your Act Together. Carolina presents G.A.T. for goal-setting and vision-casting for families; organizing the stuff of home life; and organizing the papers of life. An intensive study in getting a grip.
  • Her fun :"13 Ways to Get Your Kid to Practice" uses a number of teaching manipulatives and visual aids and is based on fourteen years of listening to "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" played on violins ranging from 1/16 to full size.   Raising four kids in the Suzuki pedagogy, Carolina conducts workshops in summer music camps to parents of aspiring musicians.
  • "Choosing to Walk in Faith when You're Used to Walking in Fear" lays out Carolina's personal and inspirational journey in dealing with suffering and brokenness, as well as childhood cancer.  
  • Sermons and Sermonettes. As a Certified Lay Speaker for the United Methodist Church, Carolina is trained to deliver sermons based on Scripture and liturgical aids in the Protestant tradition.  She currently serves the New York/Connecticut District in the Lay Speaker capacity.

 

"Being a Christian and the granddaughter of  Methodist minister, I’ve listened to gad zooks, how many sermons?  Also being on our district Lay Speaking Committee for eight years, how many talks and messages have I heard? And how many can I say I’ve remembered?! I can say, yours is one that I will remember. You had us all at the first sentence! The entire service was blessed.  Your message was fun and it was deep.  But more important, it was the way you made us feel. It felt like you were talking directly to me and I hope that each person felt that way. You were inspired and inspiring.  You have a gift. When Ernie spoke, my head started to bobble around.  It does that when certain people, including myself at times, read the Word.  So I smiled—and I kept smiling thru the service.  Love was pouring out to each of us, and right back to you. May the love of our Lord Jesus empower you to spread the Word in whatever way He sees fit.” Elaine Winward, Certified Lay Speaker, United Methodist Church  

“The seminar was a blessing! We appreciate your service in Women’s Ministry.” Women’s Ministry team, Southland Christian Church, Lexington, Kentucky

“On behalf of the Education Work Area, I’d like to thank you for the role you played in helping you make our Wednesday night electives a success. I heard lots of good things about your class…Thank you again for your willingness to teach and your dedication to Adult Discipleship.” Alison Clark, Centenary United Methodist Church, Lexington, Kentucky
