Reflections (eBook, ePUB)

Stories for Inspiration

Beschreibung

Reflections is a compendium of stories that mark my journey from a one-bedroom, wooden house on the petite Caribbean island of Grenada to historic Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.-the capital of the United States of America-as a senior diplomat. The book draws on the many experiences I have had over the past twenty-seven years in diplomacy and recounts stories that would inspire people to discover their voice and find purpose in a life of service. The truism is that everyone has a story to tell, but being bold enough to tell that story is a surefire way of leaving a legacy and putting a book on the bookshelf. The stories are of struggles, resilience, and giving back through advocacy and mentorship. Reflections takes you along a meandering path, revealing lessons on finding perspective, being persistent and consistent, building self-confidence and resiliency, and trusting the process.
