Do you know what the statistics say about me?! I am a first generation Haitian-American that comes from a single parent household. I experienced childhood trauma, I went to 4 high schools, 5 colleges, and I do not have a degree. By all accounts I should not be successful. Statistics show that someone with a similar story will have job security issues, more than likely on drugs, experiencing depression, and more...
The crazy thing is... I was heading on this path. To be honest, we all know someone who is not only on this path but lives there. For me though, something changed. Fast forward, I am an award winning public speaker that has spoken in front of over 50,000 people. I have worked with organizations like Harvard University, Chase Bank and United Way. I am also a former HuffPost and Forbes writer that was recently selected by Color Magazine’s 40 under 40 Power List.
What happened?! I dropped out of a limited mindset that fed into my victim narrative and I fell in love with emotional intelligence. In my journey, I discovered my own science-backed philosophy and principles to improve performance, while empowering one to make a permanent change within their mindset.
All I know is... if I can do it so can YOU!
