Speak and Inspire

"I now fully embraced the gift of speaking that God gave me to share"

I was at the phase of my career where I felt unsure, unfulfilled and unhappy. I was wondering what else I could do, what else I am capable of. I was at the moment where I knew I was no longer growing in my current profession as faculty in an institution. There was something inside me but I just couldn't take risk, I was so afraid to dream bigger. 
 One day, a close friend of mine who knows me very well, suggested that I watch one of Lisa Nichols' videos. He said that he can see me in the story and/or personality of Lisa. And so, I got curious and watched. And yes! I saw myself in her. I am a storyteller too! I also have that inner passion to speak, to inspire and to reach out for people. However, before knowing Lisa, I thought my gift in communication and storytelling is just ordinary, if not mere entertainment. I was so insecure; most certainly, I am not confident about myself. I always look at myself less.
 It was through Youtube Mindvalley Talks that I learned about Speak and Inspire (SAI) Masterclass. I signed in after knowing the process. 

From Day 1 up to the last day of the course, SAI did not fail in teaching me more about speaking, communicating, and inspiring. More importantly, I DISCOVER MY OWN VOICE - my passion and conviction. I would like to believe that I have uncover the POWER OF STORYTELLING to impact lives and touch souls. I now fully embraced the gift of speaking that God gave me to share more about the abundance of life. 
 To this day, I am still practicing my mirror work (which is totally life changing) and the techniques such as pregnant pause, body talks, verbal highlights, etc. I also learned about the value of active listening, dialogue, care-frontation, and safe environment. There are many more lessons I have learned from this course that I can apply both in my personal and professional life.
 Today, I speak more with clarity and conviction with confidence in my heart that my life's stories and lessons are meant to be shared for other people to also discover their own voice, their own gift. SAI has made me appreciate my craft, and has mentored me to develop and hone it. 
SAI opened my eyes to bigger world of possibilities; hence, I am now taking a leap of faith as I take on the step to pursue my dream in inspiring and touching more people. Someday, I will be a TRANSFORMATIONAL SPEAKER. I believe it is possible!

 Thank you for SAI Masterclass for making me realize the essence of my story and the power of my voice!
