Sharyn presents communications topics on cruises lines as on board entertainment. She has been speaking since 1992 when her mentor took her to a Lion’s Club meeting and then informed her that she was the guest speaker.

Within a year of speaking at various service organizations, she received a great compliment. One of the attendees had seen her six months before and told Sharyn “If I hadn’t heard you speak I would have had to give up my business and take a job.” From that point on Ms. Abbott was hooked.
