An Enlightening Journey

"If you have a gift, you can make money from it. And you should." Catherine McNeil, MA Professional Development Trainer, Nonprofit Founder Author, Speaker, Coach #ASCCatherine www.chbmservices.com https://www.facebook.com/CHBMcNeil/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/chbmservices/ "Every type of education that is out there, I have navigated it." Education happens throughout the lifespan, across industries, including in the workplace. This week, Catherine McNeil takes us on a tour of her educational and career journeys, sharing the leadership lessons she's learned on the way. She speaks about the perseverance it took to complete her bachelor's degree, the challenges that exist within the nonprofit community organization space, and how she's learned to pivot and adapt as an entrepreneur. "My entire story is the traditional hood story." As she connects the dots in her story, Catherine recognizes that everything spiraled from relationship to relationship, and every moment mattered. Whether building connections (and impactful programming) with the re-entry population, designing curriculum for corporate America, or writing parenting books, she's taken each opportunity to build and implement her thesis in real life.
