The answer is no, it was of my own doing and my awareness started to change when I cam across the books "Find Your Why" and "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek and his Ted talk, The Golden Circle.

It was like a light bulb going off in my mind and I came to the realization that I had more to give, but what exactly? You see, I had lived my life feeling that I wasn't worthy, I had low self-confidence even though I had spent 20+ years in the retail sales environment. I worked through the process of finding my own why and developed my why statement: To add value to others so that they can become the best version of themselves.

I realized that I loved to help people and had been searching for ways to do that my whole life, sometimes at the expense of my own happiness. I knew there had to be a way that I could live out this new awareness to maximize the impact that I could have on the world so I set about working out how.

I started to look back at the route of why there is a lack of engagement in the workforce and discovered that it comes from the teenage years when our ambition and dreams disappear. The time when we are discouraged from thinking for ourselves, or even thinking at all. The time when we are taught to become consumers of information so that we can pass tests and get exams instead of developing our strengths and passions.

I want to change that way of thinking and by doing so I know I will provide the corporate world with a higher quality of leaders who will perform at a superior level, producing exceptional results and changing the world.

This is how we make the world great again, by encouraging and maximizing our most valuable asset - the people.
