We’re taught MLK’s “I have a dream” speech by age 6. What we’re not taught: that it was improvised. 4 astonishing facts: 1️⃣ “I have a dream” was never written, never planned and completely improvised on the spot. 2️⃣ The speech was prompted by MLK’s dear friend, Mahalia Jackson: “Tell ‘em about the dream, Martin!” 3️⃣ Delivered to 250,000 people then, listened to by billions to date. 4️⃣ Today it’s valued at $25,000,000 and owned as an heir by the King family. I gave a TEDx talk last year that was inspired by the story of MLK’s speech. It moved me every day for 5 months as I wrote my talk and infused it with all I got. I talked about how YOU can possess a similar power to captivate and move an audience with your own message. I talked about exactly how to do that in the micro moments when people ask you, “What do you do?” I talked about the value of having people in your life who prompt you to show up. Fully. Today’s not just a “day off.” Today’s the celebration of a man who changed the course of history with a message that turned into a movement and still impacts us today. And it’s a reminder more than ever that we need to be leaders like he was… we need learn to speak like he did. Here’s my full talk where my sole (and soul’s) mission is to teach you how to do that. I hope it moves you today of all days. https://lnkd.in/gSa5gHFB If you’re curious to learn more about the story behind Martin Luther King Junior’s speech, buy the book or audio book “Behind the Dream.” It was written by his speech writer, Clarence Jones and it will blow you away. https://lnkd.in/gsyYa7sh And if you want the ultimate inspiration, watch and study MLK’s speech knowing what you know now. You will never hear it quite the same. https://lnkd.in/g55WPpR6 #communication #sales #strategy #leadership #entrepreneurship

My Purpose Discovery It all began when I chanced on a post shared across social media platforms by , Petra Aba Asamoah and Michael Adote on a Course titled “ Living On Purpose “. I was intrigued about it as it aligned with one of my main themes for the Year 2024. I went through the course and was required to choose a Purpose Partner from my circle . This was one of the most challenging task as none from my circle seemed appropriate for the journey I was embarking on. This led me to request Michael Adote to be my Purpose Partner. The journey with my Purpose Partner was one of the therapeutic, engaging, entertaining and motivating session I’ve ever had. These sessions made me find myself (strengths and weaknesses) and my interests which led me to write a Purpose Statement for myself. Just as Martin Luther King said “We have a responsibility to set out to discover what we are made for, to discover our life’s work, to discover what we’re called to do. After we discover that, we should set out to do it with all the strength and all the power that we can muster” It is my responsibility to discover what I am made of and what I am called forth to do thus I will do it with every fibre muscle of strength and power in order to fulfil Purpose with the help of the Holy Spirit. With this, I advise everyone who is interested in discovering their life's purpose to enrol in this course. Poimen This course will help you learn things about yourself that you may not have known before, as well as encourage you to strive harder and celebrate your accomplishments. Remember that achieving your ultimate goal is an ongoing process that will continue until you are called to rest in the bosom of our Creator. It's a daily journey of rising and falling, and the process is crucial since it allows you to track your progress towards goals. Typically, we emphasise the final product over the process. I believe that acknowledging the journey in accomplishing our goal allows us to applaud ourselves for getting through the tough times. I am living on Purpose ! Have a blessed week 😊

Here is a summary why the war in Ukraine is a good business for the USA and why this war is even critical for the attempt to extend the survival of the falling US empire.
