Follow the blaze

Alright, tonight is the end of one out of three days which will involve some deep searching and changes to neurological paths. Yes I have taken the opportunity to develop my skills and my confidence to present my message in front of people at the art of public speaking master class. I suppose the main thing I have taken away from today is how important it is to have a mentor, someone who I can learn from on their journey to where they are going. It is so ethnic which I have not pout a lot of thought into but thinking back I have been lucky enough to have some amazing mentors. Growing up was probably my squash coach Aub, I was fascinated with the way he was able to coach people to be such amazing squash players.The next would be a lady I worked with in Newcastle Jeanne was her name, she was amazing she believed in me when I did not. Margaret from sunrise recruitment was a lady with a corporate edge she was who I wanted to be, she gave me the position of marketing coordinator which I have since learnt this is where I am meant to be. Lisa at birch Carroll and coil then showed me what marketing Was all about and I liked what I saw. With the birth of my kids I would say that my mum was totally my mentor she was so supportive and there whenever I needed or need her. Her passion for mothering is something I admire and I just hope I can do just as good job but different. So that brings me to helyna stephens mum who passes away July 16 this year. Such an ambitious lady who achieved great heights with her business and wS committed to avoiding chemicals in her body yet still passes at such a young age.of breast cancer. Now I am in the need of a new mentor someone to move me out of my comfort zone and into a new chapter of my journey. Carren Smith runs the art of public speaking and yes she is amazing with a tradic story and come from adversity to success. I have this overwhelming feeling that I need to make more contact with Amanda gore. An international speaker who has written the gospel of joy.
