💬 Your story, your gift, your passion is your WHY

🐬The beauty of the CYC is that we don’t just talk about growth ... we show up for it together! Every week, every comment, every face on the Zoom call is proof that engagement, attendance, and accountability aren’t just nice ideas ... they’re the glue holding our transformation together.

🌱Whether we’re speaking here in the room, posting in the app, or connecting offline, we’re building something rare: a community that truly listens, challenges, and celebrates one another.

🌟We’re fortunate to have this space and lucky to have each other but luck isn’t what keeps it alive. It’s the choice we each make to keep showing up, to keep choosing ourselves, and to keep adding our voice to the conversation.

💥 Here, we don’t just talk about our dreams - we use accountability, reflection, and real conversation to bring them to life.

Highlights from today’s session with our special guest Charles Gates:

✨ Owning the trifecta: story, gift, passion as your unique advantage

✨ Recognizing that someone else may have a similar skill, but not your exact combination of experiences and fire

✨ Facing pain instead of masking it, so it can become a tool for transformation

✨ Using community accountability to keep momentum and direction

✨ Finding your WHY

🎤 Four Points for Reviewing Your Speech:

Review with audio and visual - watch for alignment between words and delivery.
Review without audio - from the audience perspective: Does your body language match your message?
Review with audio only - to check if your tone matches your intention.
Watch it from beginning to end again - see if the full experience reflects your purpose.
