Being born and raised in NYC, I consider that the greatest learning experience due to the cultural and economic diversity, especially within communication. We are all enrolled in Adversity University where the life curriculum is quite challenging at times. It was apparent to me during my grandmother\u2019s funeral, I discovered my passion for motivating and inspiring individuals through public speaking.<\/p><p>Following years of dedicated prayer and personal growth, I achieved my John Maxwell Team certification in 2016. During this transformative period, I received a powerful vision involving the recurring number sequence \u201c2\u2019s\u201d (222), yet I struggled to fully comprehend its significance. Nevertheless, I shared my aspirations with my employer, despite having worked at GEICO for over 18 years. Unsure whether the 2\u2019s represented my 20th or 22nd year of service, or perhaps the year 2020 or 2022, I remained hopeful in my belief that a new chapter in my life was quickly approaching.<\/p><p>In 2022 I experienced a profound conviction that now was the moment to embark on this journey. The confirmation followed soon after, and I took a leap of faith by retiring after 24+ years from a very successful, highly decorated career at GEICO on 2\/22\/2023 to pursue my calling. This is only a snippet of my story, and I look forward to sharing my message of hope with the world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
