Why I Do What I Do

Hello there, my name is Shauneille. I’m a motivational instructor, speaker, and author with over 15 years of experience. I am a lover of progress and a student of life. But most of all, I love to make people think. I am a native of New Jersey that remembers the embarrassment of being at Walmart counting my change to pay for my groceries. While in Walmart, I felt on my back the eyes of a long line of onlookers of which restless sighs got louder and louder as I picked up each coin out of my purse to pay for my groceries. When attempting to hurry and get out of the way; I looked behind my back because I heard the loud repeated sighs of a child who was accompanied by his father. The man looked directly into my eyes and told me to take my time. Then he turned to his son & firmly told him to shut up. This situation and other similar occurrences made me come to the point where I was tired of never having enough. I noticed a pattern of being asked to serve on multiple boards to communicate my ideas. But when I applied for a better position that would better compensate me for my ideas; I was repeatedly told no! I realized that if I wanted change. I would have to change my actions to a more effective system to see the results that I saw were possible. - Shauneille S.
