I'm developing my capacity of listening and observing. I tell my daughters, all the time, "sometimes if you just sit and listen you may learn something! " Majority of our mother-daughter talks turns into my daughters prematurely trying to defend themselves and their actions. They always have an explanation or excuse. Many of us are maneuvering through life's interactions just like my teenage daughters - We're ever ready for the rebuttal!

One of my mentors offered the advice of making 100 videos in 100 days. I listened, and the experience has broadened my voice thus attracting marvelous personal and business partnerships. Because I could listen and always stay coach-able; my creativity has opened to yet another communication channel and my overall confidence has taken flight.
All videos are available on my YouTube Channel and Facebook.
