Quotes "As a child, I remember I always used to tell myself “I want to be great.” I was not sure what I wanted to be great at, but every time I looked at myself in the mirror those words would play out loud in my mind. It was later in my teenage years that I knew I wanted to be a speaker or trainer, especially after watching people like Zig Ziglar, Joyce Meyer and many other speakers and pastors on TV for the first time. I had no idea that I would spend my adult life speaking and providing training in technology for girls and women and being a speaker on various platforms." Angela on her dreams as a child "....however, if she can slowly learn to overcome them and stays focused, she will be shocked by the great person she will become in the future." Angela's word of motivation to women I have learnt that graduating from a tertiary education is not the end of learning. We have to continuously re-skill ourselves. I have learnt that there are many roads that lead to success and if someone has not had the chance to take the traditional route of formal education that does not mean that they will not be a success. We often forget that our natural talents can make a way for us. I have learnt never to underestimate people. I, for one, have heard it said many times that STEM Technology is too hard for women and yet over the years little girls from all around the world and all walks of life have grown up to do exceptional things and build great careers, despite their familial, cultural, educational or financial backgrounds. We must never forget that we are only limited by our own beliefs. Once you know how to overcome them, you will be great. External links
