About my Blog

I am not by any means an expert on the game of life, but I do understand that there are strategies one must have in place in order to be successful to win. Success is not placed in your hands, but in your reach. When you reach for something, you are making a conscience decision that you want it. Reaching Your Career Dreams is all about the choices, information, and resources that brings us either closer or away from our career dreams. The reason why this is not just a life coaching or career coaching blog is that both are so intricately intertwined. There is so much to cover. Will you join me on this journey?

Thinking Outside The Box






















If you think outside the box, then you would not hit any walls- Ephrime Buckings

Sometimes we are conditioned to think within the box. Rules, guidelines, and procedures are only designed to keep things and people in order. When reaching your career dreams, you would come across red tape. It is up to you to decide whether you would proceed forward or turn back. I remember when I was a sophomore in college attending an employer informational. The recruiter stated that among the thousand applicants that they receive each year, they only select three interns. To make matters even worst, they usually hire juniors from the top design programs. I had three strikes against me.

I had to make an interpretation of what I just heard. I didn't let that stop me. I was confident to say to myself that it was okay because that only meant that they had two slots left. I was able to not only get an interview, but use my creative abilities to think out of the box to wow the interviewer. Despite all the rules and regulations, when you think outside the box, you would not hit the walls.

Aspire. Create. Develop.
