SERIOUSLY SPEAKING…

When I was 14 years old, my mother took me to a seminar arranged at the local hospital. I had no idea what to expect, but it turned out the speaker was a professor talking about stress and the brain. That evening inspired my future choices in life more than anyone could have ever imagined.

10 years later I started my studies to become a psychologist. Life took many turns during that time - I got married, had children and we moved from city to city more than once. Even so, 14 years after the seminar night with my mother, I ended up working at that very same hospital and pretty soon the stress-speaking professor became my boss.

I remember the first time the professor suggested I should do a seminar together with him. I can´t recall what we spoke about, but I remember the feeling of meeting up with 100 inspired leaders afterwards and following the ripple effects from our talk with curiosity.

Since that day I have done 15 years of public speaking, facilitating workshops and seminars for a bigger audience. This story still lingers in the back of my head, an important awareness about the power of inspiration.

I know that mindful words of knowledge from a speaker really can plant seeds and influence people´s lives.
