Strength-Grit-Courage-Wisdom Girls Summit 2017

What do you say to encourage, motivate, and inspire a group of young girls that education is worth their time, effort, and focus?

This was my task this weekend at the Strength-Grit-Courage & Wisdom Girls
Summit sponsored by Role Model Magazine.  There were approximately 50 girls ages 9-15 that came together to exercise, learn, laugh, reflect and of-course eat (healthy).  Women came from all corners of the state to share their experiences on business, education, entrepreneurship, and life.

What was my message?  I left the girls with three points:

1. Have a Success Mindset : To obtain an education is a very valuable asset; once you acquire it no one can take it away.  School is your job; give it 110%.

2. Have Career Conversations: Most adults would love to share their career path with youngsters.  Make every adult interaction count!

3. Build Your Brand:  What do you want your name to represent? Start today by creating a brand that matters… be trustworthy, of good character, smart, hardworking, courageous; these are all great qualities to have as your brand.

The girls left inspired and ready to move forward on their journey.  I left feeling excited and blessed to share a piece of their journey with them.
