Ministry Speaking Topics
9 Life Lessons to Help You Move Forward
In an imperfect world with imperfect people, we suffer setbacks, sickness, and heartaches. Yvonne uses personal examples and the truth of the Bible to help women:
- Exchange their shattered dreams for the promises of God.
- Replace sadness and sorrow with God’s joy.
- Live each day as a gift.
How to Forgive When You Don't Want to
Since we don’t have alligator skin and a heart of stone, people will hurt us especially those closest to us. We also make mistakes in life and hurt others. Yvonne uses personal anecdotes and the timeless truths of God to help women:
- Trade shame and guilt for God’s grace to forgive themselves.
- Overcome anger and bitterness and with God’s power forgive others.
- Break free from the prison of the past and gain the freedom of forgiveness.
Moving from Broken to Beautiful® through Grief
Through Yvonne’s transparent stories of personal losses and God’s Word, your audience will discover how to:
- Exchange withdrawal, loneliness, and aloneness for God’s comfort.
- Replace the turmoil of grief with God’s peace.
- Live with purpose in your new normal.
Stand Firm
This presentation is a wonderful conclusion to a weekend retreat and allows time for the women to give testimonies of what God has spoken to them over the weekend. Always leading women back to God’s Word, Yvonne challenges women to:
- Depart from the mountaintop and live in the valley.
- Evaluate how they give to the Lord’s work at home and elsewhere.
- Switch their focus from earthly rewards to heavenly ones.
Speak with Power, Passion and Polish
If you fear speaking in public, you’re not alone! Gain confidence and tips from Yvonne’s personal examples and a professional model to:
- Eliminate a weak opening and replace it with a dynamic one.
- Replace confusing content with clear and compelling content.
- Avoid delivery mistakes and present with power and passion.
Note: Each bullet point for Speak with Power is a 30-60-minute presentation.
The Purpose Profile: Living by Decision
Through Yvonne’s transparent stories of the effects of personal challenges and transitions on mind, body, and soul, she involves the audience to help them:
- Give up pleasing people and substitute pleasing God.
- Move from rigidity and fear of change to flexibility and resilience.
- Build on their strengths and purpose in life.
Note: Each bullet point for The Purpose Profile can be a 30-to-60-minute interactive training session.
Christmas: Get off the Emotional Roller Coaster and Celebrate Christ’s Birthday
Expectations and excesses can cause us to ignore the meaning of Christmas. Yvonne will encourage women to:
- Overcome their unrealistic expectations of others.
- Stop striving to be Wonder Woman in Disney World.
- Embrace the Christ of Christmas.
Self-Care When You Think No One Cares
What do you do when you’re paralyzed with gut-wrenching pain from loss?
Are you overwhelmed with the challenges of paperwork, bills, and sleepless nights with little time for self-care?
Have you lost your identity, peace, and purpose?
Coach Yvonne has been there. Let her help you jumpstart your healing journey with hope, connection, and community:
- Replace doubt, discouragement, and depression one small step at a time with encouragement, support, and accountability.
- Exchange sadness and sorrow with manageable steps toward peace, power, and purpose.
- Find freedom from the past and both peace and joy now and in the future.
Yvonne is living proof it’s never too late to begin Self-Care.

Yvonne Ortega is a lady of passion and commitment, who relates to her audiences at a deep and meaningful level. I was honored to share a speaking platform with her and hope to again in the future.
Well-received and timely. Inspired us to be vessels God can use in any situation. Engaged every woman and young lady. Absolutely wonderful presentation. Look forward to future opportunities to grow with you.
Your fascinating story should be made into a movie. It kept the audience on the edge of their seats. As our mission statement says, you are “fulfilling your destiny of greatness” and helping others do the same.
An inspiration too many. Blends the seriousness and the purpose and adds a dose of comic relief.
