Our life is long. Our journey and our experiences are here to guide us and teach us. We have to have the courage to listen, learn and explore. We should be curious about our interests, ideas, and dreams. We should take time to discover ourselves because there is no template for how to do our life and out career. When we gain deep levels of self-awareness, it gives us the ability to have empathy for others and serve our community. And when we use our gifts to serve others in a meaningful way, then we've set ourselves up for success.
In this week’s episode, we will listen to our final speaker Kelly Wingham — Founder and President of Data Activation Center, Inc. — as she tells us the story of how she pursued new opportunities and turned her company into a success. In her talk, Kelly talks about her many different experiences and the struggles she has faced over the years. She shares unconventional path to where she is now, and how she kept going even when things got difficult.
Throughout her life, Kelly has been able to see recognize possibilities and to easily visualize the outcome. Over the years, she explore many new opportunities and business ideas. About 10 years ago, she discovered an underserved market and recognized its potential. However, along the way, her company hit some major roadblocks and she was forced to change the business model. At one point, things were so tough that Kelly was digging through her old purses looking for change. One day, she received a call from a referring customer who proposed the solution she needed. Without a legal agreement or a meeting in person, a large sum of money was deposited in Kelly’s account, and she started to grow her company again. This year her company — a female-owned and operated business — is expected to close with $2 million in revenue.
Listen in to learn more about how Kelly had the courage to pursue new opportunities, and how she persisted through all the challenges her company faced.
And tune in next week to hear an episode wrapping up the Stand Tall In Your Story series and thanking the companies and people that came together to make this an amazing event.
