Greetings,
Thank you for your time on Monday morning. To me it was epic.
The key questions you asked my daughter - what do you have to offer, what value will you bring to the table, what solutions will you bring to the community. . were the very questions I have been grappling with over the past weeks as I write my application for my PhD. I thought that my daughter was getting exposed to a very great timely opportunity -talking to you that day.
At 19 this was a significant way for her to think through her choices.
Even better, the fact that you linked all categories of her person - spiritual, academic, gifting, personality together, was on point and really made me glad - many young people flow with what the world presents to them. They rarely think of who they are and what they have to offer.
Your analogy of climbing the stair well and realising that that wasn't the right stair case made me think again about how for me as a parent - my desire has been to get my daughters' to succeed - so I am likely to allow them to walk through a door of opportunity - even if it quite wasn't the right fit ??♀ stood out for me.
Your discussion on the build up of a deliberate personal brand was wonderful. . . The detail of verifying, measuring and deliberate visibility as presented was so timely.
All in all I realised that you were truly doing what you were called to do. Something that God prepared you to do many years ago.
I was so happy to have escorted my daughter because I learned a lot from your discussion. I asked myself - what exactly I was aiming for. .
Have a good night
