MY STORY
When I began my career in Technology, I always felt that I had more to offer. Even though I was passionate about the projects, I never felt like I found my calling and my purpose in life. I was waiting for a sign from God that I should do something else, not realizing the signs were always there. Throughout my career, I always made time to mentor others and to volunteer, to share resources and knowledge. My greatest satisfaction was helping people set their goals and complete their life projects, more so than completing Financial Technology projects. I led million dollar technology implementation projects, I kept using the same skills I used on the golf course. After completing multiple high risk projects, I knew it was time to bet on myself. If I could work that hard for someone else, why not for myself?
When I joined the board member of the LPGA amateur golf association – NYC chapter, I used my theory to grow the game but there was more for me to do. Golf taught me to connect outside of my comfort zone and it wasn’t just about learning the game. I decided it was time to share my secret to building authentic relationships and using my soft-skills.
