Win Breakfast

This morning, a fellow Business and Finance Academy student and I had the opportunity to attend Nevada's Win Breakfast that is held once a month. From what I understand, Win is an organization that gets multiple business leaders and new entrepreneurs from around the community to get together to make connections and to become better leaders. As my classmate and I sat with our Junior Achievement mentor we were able to meet a variety of people. People who worked at UNR, district attorneys, people who worked at Renown and even people who worked in different countries. A woman who runs a broadcast show located in Reno had talked to us and we made a connection for our academy and for our company, Feel FAB Industries. She wants us to come on to her show for a segment where she will help us get our names out there to make our company more successful! How cool is that!? Opportunities like this happen at every Win breakfast. Along with these opportunities, we had the chance to listen to a keynote speaker. Like many, he wanted to build confidence in ourselves to make us better leaders. His structure was meant to be witty and boy did he get the crowd laughing. He succeeded in his speech and got many of the adults energized about their work. He told us that in order to build self esteem we have to build our self image. You have to seem confident even if you do not feel like it. He told us that we need to see ourselves as lions even if we are fragile cats. This spoke to me and I am changing my attitude on life to be a more positive one. This breakfast was very beneficial to me. I cannot wait to go back next month.
