Taking a Leap of Faith to Pursue Your Dream

About this session

I thought I had my life figured out, until disruption changed my course of direction (my life).

  • How to prepare to take a leap of faith to pursue your dream
  • The power of acknowledging the small and large steps in the journey
  • How to embrace gratitude everyday
  • The importance of mentorship
  • The importance of building a strong network outside of your comfort zone when you don’t have access
  • How to manage the loneliness that can come from working on yourself
