This was a hugely successful years in more ways than one, with so many things to celebrate. Between the number of amazing speaking events, personal trips, and adding a new amazing member to our team, there are many things to acknowledge and be grateful for.
At the end of the year, as is my annual tradition, I like to take a moment to to reflect on some of the magical moments that happened throughout the year. Below are a few of the highlights from 2024.
In March I had the opportunity to speak with 8000 individuals at the California State FFA Convention. This was a special event that took place at the Gold One Center in Sacramento, where the National Basketball Associations Sacramento Kings play.
A new experience for me this year was the opportunity to speak with pre-kindergartners at in a small town in Northern California. What a fun event filled with joy and excitement!
Our dog (formerly my brother and sister in laws dog) Lucky turned 10 years old! He is healthy and continues to bring vibrant energy and joy to our lives.
This year was a special year for my family because my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. I’ve been beyond blessed to have unbelievable parents who have shaped who I am. It was a very sweet moment to celebrate with the 200 family members and friends that joined together in honor of my parents.
My wife Anh Thu and I had the amazing opportunity to visit Our Lady of Lourdes in France. It was a beautiful sight to see and powerful experience for us to share together.
SPEAKING EVENT THEMES THIS YEAR
We cover so many important and meaningful topics during our events. Here are a few of the themes we focused on this year:
The Art of Connecting
Your ability to connect with others is critical to your success personally and professionally. It can be challenging though when we work with people who come from different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences.
How to Turn Setbacks Into Comebacks
We all encounter challenges and run into obstacles. The key to overcoming adversity is developing resilience, building confidence, implementing self-care strategies, creating meaningful connections, and changing your mindset during difficult moments.
Stop Setting Goals and Start Achieving Them
Setting goals is easy, but accomplishing them is more challenging. There are practical strategies that can help you stay motivated, create momentum, and achieve success.
With 2024 coming to a close, it is a good time to reflect on all that you accomplished, all the progress made, obstacles overcome, meaningful connections made, and all that you are grateful for. Stepping into 2025 is an opportunity to see the learning lessons from 2024 and make this new year a time to thrive!
