WOW! I’m back from my whirlwind international tour, visiting five incredible cities: Dubai, Israel, New York, Philadelphia, and Memphis!
It feels so good to be home.
Today, I’m excited to tell you about my adventures in Dubai. You have to watch the video above! I’ve distilled the essence of my talk into a 4-minute clip, giving you a taste of my modified and creative keynote, “Train Your Brain.”
As I sift through the countless videos and photos from the MDRT Global Conference, my heart overflows with gratitude and reflections.
One lesson that stood out was the importance of balancing speaking with listening. I followed Dr. Willie Jolley’s advice: TTP—Talk To People. For an extrovert like me, talking is second nature! But it’s the listening that truly connected me to people. I believe this is what drew so many to me—the delicate dance between sharing my story and making space for theirs.
Traveling solo might seem daunting, but it’s a journey filled with unexpected stories and connections. Like this one: someone spontaneously filmed me enjoying Arabic coffee at the top of the Burj Khalifa. You can check out the video below—it’s a moment of pure joy, a reminder to savor the small experiences even amidst the grand adventures.
Here’s another nugget of wisdom from my travels: Don’t stress about what you’re doing now because you’re worried about what doors might open. Focus on doing an excellent job in the present, and leave the rest to God. He’s got your back! This mindset helped me stay grounded and present during my talks and interactions.
Speaking of being creative, I decided to hand out “million-dollar bills” as my business card, complete with a QR code to connect with me and take the Saboteur assessment. Some (including my kids, shhhh!) thought it was a bit kitschy, but you know what? It was a smashing success! Here’s a picture of it—I’m pretty proud of this quirky yet effective idea.
Traveling, speaking, connecting with incredible people, and being open to new experiences—it’s all part of the journey from Oy to Joy. I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, lessons, and inspirations with you in the coming weeks
