"The gift of being uplifted with boosted self-confidence isn't the only thing you get"

What does it take to be bold and ready to take your place under the sun? The shift started from a slight pivot in my mind. 
Before the program I noticed that when I spoke about some particular topics, there was another force in my voice and the meaning could easily come through. Especially it occurred when I was speaking my mother tongue and had well-written poetry memorized. At that time, I forgot to be overwhelmed as those were neither your words nor your message, but the whole idea resonated with me. This is just a glimpse of my past when being a child and a teenager. With time and all the prejudices put on my shoulders, I've lost my voice somehow: I said yes to what should have been rejected so many times that I simply become someone who blindly follows the herd. After listening to Lisa's first intro, I've believed that she'll help me to cut through the layers of complacency and will show me the steps to start my journey to becoming an inspirational speaker while being there and holding my hand. At that moment I've made a decision to play full out, as well as be patient with my progress while recording and uploading the videos (that last part was really unnerving sometimes). 
What do I have to say at the end of this transformational journey? That I know exactly what people I want to surround myself with, and where I'm heading and I have a viable plan to stick to. The gift of being uplifted with boosted self-confidence isn't the only thing you get. There are some other real gems: the commitments made and the tribe of your friends which hold you accountable. 
 Thank you for the whole experience, much needed and appreciated in these uncertain times.
