Day 110 blog

Today started early with prayer for Ash Wednesday and for my presentation. I always like to center myself before stepping into something important, but this one especially felt significant. It was for a huge, well-known company, so I knew I needed to adjust my message a bit. Instead of focusing strictly on my personal success, I leaned more into motivation, growth, resilience, and what it really takes to push forward in any industry.

It felt different than most of my talks, but in a good way. I could tell the room was engaged, and I love when you can feel that connection while you are speaking. After my presentation, I stayed for the rest of the session. When they broke for lunch, we had a meet and greet networking portion, and you already know I was in my element. I walked around introducing myself, having real conversations, passing out my card, taking pictures, and just connecting. Those organic interactions are sometimes just as impactful as being on stage.

After all of that, I came back to my room for a quick nap before heading out again. Tonight I went to the Sphere to see The Wizard of Oz, and it was so cool. The visuals and the whole atmosphere made it such a unique experience. I grabbed some food to go afterward and now I am back in my room, winding down and relaxing.

I am about to catch up on emails, messages, and calls before calling it a night. Tomorrow is my last speaking event of this trip, which feels exciting and a little bittersweet. It has been a full week, but such a rewarding one.

Grateful, a little tired, and very fulfilled.
