What would you do every day without expecting anything significant in return like money?

For me, it’s about storytelling, telling stories, stories from within, and stories about others. I find it interesting that people are willing share their personal information to me. In the process, I end up hearing jewels and gems full of wisdom. These are the type of stories that should be shared with the world and I do my part to produce such content.

What are you strongly passionate about and why?

It goes back to the life stories. When you share such stories, they make a great difference to the world. It’s about celebrating our achievements; it’s about the collective and about all of us achieving things. A friend of mine once said, “it’s hard to read the label from inside the bottle.” These words have always stuck with me throughout the years. For instance, coaches need coaches. When other individuals help others to see that label from a different perspective, it’s a very eye-opening experience.

What is 1 strength you have and what is 1 weakness you have?

I have a weakness for saying no. Also, I have a weakness for taking on too much. It bothers me when I drop the ball. Nonetheless, I love helping others.

I want to describe this as a strength, but I’m kind of reluctant to. There seems to be moments in conversations I have with individuals where I find myself saying things like the following: wait one moment, one second. Can you back-up? It’s a beautiful moment because the person doesn’t recognize this glaring and flashing light event. Thus, I can naturally spot it and bring it to their attention.

Do you believe in accountability and why?

Yes, you must have accountability in place. Accountability is extremely important. When your passionate about doing something, you need to hold yourself accountable as much as possible.

How do you assess or evaluate your progress?

Yes, there are times when I sit down to look at where I am and where I want to be. I do make it a point to set goals and create achievable goals along the way for myself. It’s important to assess yourself to see how much you can achieve as well as look at what has or hasn’t been achieved yet.
