I dreamed a dream...Leadership Forum???

Forty seven year old Susan Boyle debuted in Britain's Got Talent this past Friday and awed the crowd with her version of I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables. A video went live on April 11th on YouTube and has had over 12 million views. I was so inspired to see Susan Boyle's performance this morning on the Today's Show. Lili the dog wasn't so thrilled since she barked non-stop at her....she has no taste! I started to think about the battles that I have fought in my life to reach professional dreams. I was so excited to submit the Louisiana Intel report this month which showed 131 Participant Leaders trained in the first quarter. In three months we have already met our Intel quota proposed in our grant. It was only a couple of years ago that I begged folks to attend this training. It looks like persistence (or should I say harassment) pays off. I am so proud of all the work that our Intel trainers are doing in the state. I encourage you to think about your dreams and think of Susan Boylean as inspiration. Just at first glance she may not have seemed like a contender but the YouTube hits say it all. None of us are perfect but we all have dreams so go out and pursue one that has been sitting on a backburner!
