Why BE LEAD GROW?
Be.Lead.Grow is a response to two major shifts that occurred in August of 2016. During that time DrAMS made the courageous choice to take a year-long journey to experience the world as a wanderer, seeker and creator. She joined a program and chose to seek out leadership strategies and strategists around the globe. Through these new partnerships she is determined to create reciprocal relationships that will benefit workplaces and enhance experience for people around the world.
While taking this leap DrAMS was asked many questions! At the core, many were rooted in fear. She wanted to provide a platform inclusive of programs for leaders to go on journeys of self discovery in a safe space that would enable them to be their best selves. From a place of empowerment and acknowledgement of their genius they would then be able to “Show Up & Show Out!”
This effort is to create a spirit of freedom where leaders are actually leading in a holistic manner and their impact is evident in all that they do. Through Be.Lead.Grow. leaders are being equipped to mix the personal and professional development. Although we may perform as though we are Super (Wo)Man, we want to have the skills to truly tap in so that we don’t prematurely tap out.
My Journey Around the World – Living a BIG Life
After quitting her job without a plan, DrAMS made the decision to make one of her BIG goals happen. She traveled around the world for 9 months, living in Czech Republic and Chiang Mai Thailand for three months, and also living in Bangkok and Abu Dhabi. During this time she was able to learn and grow tremendously thanks to the exposure to other cultures and the opportunities that presented themselves. Thankfully she chose to show up and show out, and was given the honor of being published in an international magazine while also presenting at an international conference. Through these experiences she was able to network and ultimately bring her expertise back to the United States to serve organizations in a new way.
