​Make YOUR Difference: Workshop at Bernardsville Library 

The next meeting of Bernardsville Public Library's inspirational workshop series, “Make YOUR Difference,” will be held on Wednesday, June 28 at 7:00 pm in the library’s Community Room.

"Even though it doesn’t feel like it at times, you absolutely have the ability to make a positive difference in the world," said Professional Inspirer Andrea Mastrobattista. Throughout this workshop series, participants will uncover what makes them unique and then cultivate those talents and skills so that they are making a difference every day. While they might see differences as flaws or weaknesses, the truth is they can be one's greatest strengths. "Do we really have to try to conform to other people’s unrealistic expectations to get what we want in life?" she asks, "NO! Attend this month’s workshop to find out why being different and true to who we really are is exactly what is expected of us."

Since 2006, Ms. Mastrobattista has been leading her inspirational workshops on Wednesday evenings at the library. She heads a company called Operation INSPIRATION and has also facilitated workshops in the Somerset Hills such as "Facing Your Fears" and "Transforming Negatives Into Positives" in which she helped people to fully form their goals and develop a strong can-do attitude for achieving them. Her core belief is that, no matter what circumstances people face, they have the strength and ability to create and live fulfilling and inspiring lives. Ms. Mastrobattista has written her first children's book and is working on getting it published. She also owns Golden Slipper Productions, a company that creates websites, social media profiles and the corresponding promotional materials (such as business cards and brochures) for small and mid-sized businesses.
