When someone tells you no, say thank you!
This workshop is for you if:
You have dreams that others don’t understand
You want to let go of expectations and stereotypes
You want to make a well-thought out plan to get where you want to go.
Workshop details:
I was often told no: You’re not smart enough to go to college! You can’t be a sports reporter! You can’t be a sports official! Still, I pushed past the people who said my dreams were impossible. During this presentation, you’ll learn how to pinpoint your career goals and how to make a plan to get there. And maybe you’ll eventually thank those who told you no.
