I went into the leadership program as a well traveled 26 year old college graduate who was running a multimillion dollar business single handedly with an average of 85 employees underneath me. My life was working, but only working. I rarely had time for anything else.
The trainings really empowered me to go for what I want in life and showed me that I can have it all. I now work in a field I am passionate about, I am making a difference, and using my degree, all while making more money. And you will never hear me say 'I don't have time', which was the story of my life before the trainings. Now I get to work multiple jobs, model, volunteer, work on my art and my writing all at least once a week. Because of the drive the trainings taught me I have been asked to put on my first personal art show in Boston and am currently working on my first memoir.
All of this considered, my biggest gift from the trainings has been my family. Before the trainings I would have told you that my family and I were close but I will tell you that it is nothing like what we have now. My sister (who I insisted do the trainings) and I are now best friends who talk almost everyday when before the trainings our relationship was distant. My father and I sit down and chat multiple times a month when most of what we did before was argue. I see my mother everyday and we are closer then ever. These are just a few of the many relationships in my life that have flourished.
The trainings have effected my relationship with everyone I come in contact with. I am now often told how much I make a difference for people and how people really feel like they can open up to me when I was taken as more removed and 'too busy' before the trainings. It has been almost 2 years since I have done the trainings and I use them every single day.
