WHITE HOUSE CHAMPION OF CHANGE
Everything we touch we change. Everything that changes, changes us. God is the God of Change. One thing is certain, CHANGE is constant! Change is really the only thing you can depend upon. It is normal to feel a fear of change because fear is primal! Our reptile brain sees change as chaos! And chaos is potential danger! I know that we can use fear as our teacher. We can reprogram our fear into curiosity, and even reprogram our fear into passion. We can each of us EVOLVE …. REACH FURTHER and ACHIEVE MORE… by becoming a Master of Change.
In my journey from childhood in Jamaica to a professional career in international development, I have envisioned myself as part of the solutioneers that will together make the changes necessary for us as a human family to survive our wicked genius at self-destruction. Thus I have sought to master change by driving change.
To move from accepting change to exploring change to embracing and driving change involves a opening of the mind, heart and soul to see possibilities and opportunities in every circumstance. To move from a place of fear to a place of love... that is ultimate aim of change mastery.
As a trained engineer with artistic leanings, I have combined my love for dreaming with my systems thinking bent to carve out a niche as a futurist, and social entrepreneur.
Doing work I am passionate about makes my life a study in JOY triumphant!
