I really wonder what I've been doing as this is already Friday ka. Let me keep my weekly egroup sharing as my routine still .... even the specific day of the week is no longer possible laew na ka....sabai sabai saa laew ka.
I have one story to share about Mikaila Ulmer, a 15-year-old girl who has become Founder and CEO of 'Me and The Bees Lemonade' (from Podcast --How Leaders Lead by David Novak -- still my program choice!) David Novak put it as 'Leading with Fearless with her purpose-driven company' and her story goes viral on Shark Tank ka.
I'll share only a really small part of what I've got na ka:
- Mikaila started this idea of selling lemonade at her school when she was four.
Lessons captured: Her parents didn't stop her when she enjoyed doing it from her grandma's recipe. Rather, they supported her by leading her to read books and offering advice ka.
- When she was stung by bees, her parents told her to learn more about bees to see how they work and to rid her fear of them. It's wonderful to hear her call her father, Co- Queen Bee' signifying his support ka.
Lessons captured: This could be part of her fearless leadership while becoming a 'bee expert' ka.
- Mikaila has been invited to many talks and her parents go with her. Once on a stage, a question was asked about the business for her father to answer. He said her daughter was there and she could answer best.
Lessons captured: Parents open the paths for her to be in the limelight with proper distance and support.
What this story has led me to think further is as follows ka:
- Parents have a key role to support their kids to find their passions....even it means parents have to spend a lot of time learning and guiding them. How many parents are ready to do so and what about the younger generations' families?
- While we used to hear 'words from the wise' to refer to older and experienced seniors, life has shifted fast to get more imagination, excitement, and prompt actions from the much younger.
I tend to hear more often about 'one thing I wish to share with the seniors (not the junior na ka!)
The seniors have to adjust and learn much faster (if not changing mindsets altogether) ka....otherwise, we may be calling out for 'a place to stand seen!' ขอมีที่ยืนบ้าง
What do you think ka?
