Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
You don't have the communications skills to be successful in business.
How I responded:
I viewed Noise as a challenge as opposed to something holding me back. By working hard and believing in myself, I was able to surpass my own and others' expectations for me. There were challenging parts to this and I'm improving every day. The key for me is to focus on improvements and stay positive through adversity and nay-sayers.
