Dream BIG.

START small.

Six years ago, I had a dream.

I was standing in the middle of a stage.

Thousands took their seats before me.

I remember seeing my mouth open, close, open, close.

Yet, I couldn’t articulate a single word.

Moments later, I went into a spiral.

The dream had ended.

I woke up puzzled about what I had just experienced.

How could I dream of doing something I fear greatly?

I shared my dream with a friend.

She said, “Give it a try.”

Not the type of response I was expecting.

Yet, somehow, someway, weeks later, I found my back to that dream.

This time, I chose to act on what my friend had suggested.

I didn’t know anything about this profession.

I didn’t know the places that hired.

I didn’t know who would be interested in listening to me.

Despite of all of the things I didn’t know, what I did know is that I didn’t need to know the “how,” I just need to know where to start.

I reached out to places I knew best.

The middle school, high school, the college I attended.

The adoption agency that helped get to the states.

The networking groups I was a part of.

Most if not all, took a chance.

They brought me in.

Over the past six years, I expanded to other groups.

I tailored my message to help college students become more equipped in handling adverse circumstances.

I tailored my message to help companies improve their employee performance, engagement and retention.

I tailored my message to help those who were unemployed find future employment.

I tailored my message to help individuals rewrite the story of their past.

Dream BIG.

START small.
