I can now respond like this to my hearts content And it’s makin me laugh my ass off No kill like overkill This shit is so much fun

That was the title of a talk I gave a few times in the last few years. In my professional network, I learned that the more I give (volunteer, mentor, help, support, initiate), the more I receive. When I started volunteering with a global association I was a member of (ISC2) it just seemed like a good way of expending my network and connecting with likeminded people. Never could I have imagined that volunteering will take me to places like the UK, Canada, US, Netherlands, Singapore, Tokyo, Manila, India, Australia and more. Never could I have envisioned the financial opportunities it will open for me. Never could I have dreamed of having such amazing friends by my side. And yes, it all started with me putting my hand up and volunteering. Now I'm working on spreading this mindset in my community. Hope this will inspire others to put their hand up!
