Sometimes, the spotlight finds you when you least expect it.
I was invited as a panelist at the just-concluded , but when the keynote speaker was delayed, I was asked to step in and deliver the keynote speech.
Without a script, slides, or warning just my voice, my values, and the work I’ve put in over the years.
What followed was one of the most meaningful sessions I’ve ever delivered. We explored themes I’ve always spoken and written about:
🔹 Building a compelling personal brand
🔹 Finding clarity in your career journey
🔹 Showing up even when you don’t feel “ready”
One thing I pride myself in is being able to elevate the mood of my audience by having them engage in games. Of course, I brought this energy here.
To every student, young professional, and creative in that room, thank you for showing up with your questions, vulnerability, and energy. I saw a generation eager to lead, learn, and leave their mark.
And to anyone reading this: sometimes your next opportunity won’t wait for you to be “fully ready.” It’ll ask you to stand up anyway.
And that’s when you’ll realize you've been ready all along. You were just waiting for a stage.
Have a blessed week ahead
