she`s so skirt!

Marianne Frederick – ha-ha-ha-hat lady

Speaker, educator, humorist and one-time physical therapist Marianne will make you laugh. Whether you’re at a corporate retreat or a training seminar, if Marianne is there, you’ll remember what you’ve learned. Besides, who can’t laugh at a woman in a Carmen Miranda fruit hat? That’s her shtick. “I’ve always loved hats. I collected hundreds and thought, What am I going to do with all these hats? So I started using them as ice-breakers. And it works. Once, I accidentally walked into the men’s room at a conference with THIS hat on. The man held the door for me as I left and said, ‘Nice hat!’ Even when something embarrassing or incredibly tragic happens, with the right kind of attitude you can bounce back. My husband died over a year ago, but by entertaining other people and helping them laugh, it keeps me laughing, and that’s healing. A hat — or two… dozen — can really turn things around.”
