A Bold Journey & A Graduation
Two events in one day. I'm dog tired!
When I launched Like People, Like Pets in November of 2023, it was with the intent to make positive change in the world through my words. Today, my words were delivered from the stage and on the page. One through Backstage at Speaking Your Brand, a LinkedIn Live Performance. The other via Bold Journey.
The LinkedIn Live performance was a culmination of my work with the Thought Leader Academy, a masterfully created program by Carol Cox and Diane Diaz of Speaking Your Brand that helps women create more impactful presentations. Their in-depth and thoughtful exercises helped me envision, plan, promote, and deliver with confidence a portion of my Signature Talk "Embrace the SHIFT: Using Unconventional Thinking to Create Resilient Teens & Reconnected Families." I’ve always believed that storytelling was a powerful tool. I'm grateful for Carol and Diane's magic that helped me harness it.
Early this morning as I was putting the finishing touches on my Signature Talk, I received an email from Bold Journey that their interview with me was available to their readers online.
The interview covered a topic near and dear to my heart – finding purpose – and how it is playing out in my work as a writer, speaker, and advocate.
To be interviewed was an honor. The icing on the cake and the cherry on the sundae was that Bold Journey had been referred to me by a modern-day superhero, Cara Achterberg, of Who Will Let the Dogs Out! I’ve written about Cara and the tireless work she does to raise awareness of homeless dogs and the people who fight for them. I’m delighted to be in her sphere.
Thank you, dear Substack readers, for your support and kindness. You’ve given me courage to keep showing up in the world!
This is great, Cindy!
Well done Cindy!!! 👏
