Wow! Who knew this topic would resonate with so many people? I first shared this message on my InstaStories (@iamjamgamble) and was told that I absolutely needed to share it with others as it will be gone in 24hrs! Conflict is definitely something we've all gone through once or more in our lives and I'm sure we've experienced the physical side effects. In this short video, I actually thank my negative experiences for their rich and valuable lessons. If you're someone who needs to talk further, don't hesitate to comment below or contact me through my website as I'm here to help. When I've been interviewed for articles or have sat on a panel, I am often asked how I manage to do it all. I find myself stumped because I don't feel like I do it all! I am simply doing what I love...which I guess seems like a lot because they all fall into different categories yet are all connected. As a young woman growing up, I remember being coaxed by my parents and sometimes teachers to find a job that could provide me with financial security. Back then it had nothing to do with what you loved but more about which could give you better pay, benefits, and a pension. Now that I am older, it finally makes sense why I changed my mind every year in high school about (interior decorator, culinary chef, midwife, and CSI agent...see where my mind was?...) what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wasn't meant to be just one thing! I guess...I was meant to do it all. In this interview with ON TV, I talk briefly about how I discovered my personal brand and ultimately what that did to help my career soar. So what about you? Are you someone who believes in the 'power' of personal branding? Are you like me and have multiple passions on the go? I'd love to hear how you juggle it all! Share your answers below and help start a discussion! If you're in transition and are looking to talk about your personal brand and image, hit the contact tab and let's talk! Oh my… *hides face in shame* It’s been a while since I featured an educator on the blog and I’m so glad Kathleen finally shared her story with us because there was so many points she made that reminded me of my “why” as an educator. There was no fluff in her answers – it was just straight up (just how I like it!) and I couldn’t stop nodding my head when she talked about a difficult situation she faced in the classroom because I know that story oh too well. Thank you Kathleen for participating and readers, be sure to connect with her too! Happy reading! -- Jam Name: Kathleen House

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Maggie John, one of 100 Huntley Street 's incredible hosts. We spoke briefly and I shared with her my thoughts on disability awareness and inclusion in our churches. Little did I know, Maggie wanted our discussion to continue, and on 100 Huntley Street. Side note: My Mother was ecstatic when she heard I would be making a guest appearance. She LOVES getting her dose of daily spirituality by watching the many stories of testimony and listening to the band's beautiful music. I made it, Mama! As an able bodied educator and advocate, I felt an immense amount of pride being apart of this discussion. I am grateful for any opportunity that allows me to educate others about inclusion and acceptance. Watch the segment below and be sure to share with your circles as it's a message we can all benefit from. |
