“The being called ugly impossible weird kid” found her mission

‘It is impossible. Be realistic. Remember, you are just a little girl from the countryside. Just stay at home, get married and have a bus load of kids’. That was what a friend of my father’s told me after hearing about my desire to go abroad to open my mind and to help more people. He was one of many others who directed my thoughts on the ‘impossibility’ of going abroad. I was one of the most stubborn kids in my village, so I didn’t believe what others told me. Thanks to my source of inspiration - my family especially my siblings.

Jen's family - the infinitive source of inspiration

I have been always amazed by my parents who worked at four different jobs to bring up myself and my siblings. I am myself thankful to be saved by my family from being kidnapped, from a serious motorbike accident in which I lost almost 1 litre of blood, and from an incident of almost drowning in a river. My siblings have always loved me unconditionally, intensively and have given me all the best things. They set great examples for me to be NONSTOP LOVING LIVING AND GIVING.

Seeing all the struggles of my siblings —almost dying, dropping out of school, choosing their own life route, standing on their own feet from an early age, making sacrifices for their families, courageously overcoming difficulties— I feel compelled to empower others to be NONSTOP living meaningfully, purposefully and vibrantly, loving completely and openly, and giving joyfully to make a difference in life.

I have made it from a countryside kid to become an engineer in two different international companies (Samsung and Dell); teaching, studying, and traveling to 20 countries; and now fully engaged in the mission of empowering future leaders as an author, trainer, consultant, coach and write. Over the last decade, I have been grateful to work with people from 30 different countries to believe in themselves and take action on their dreams. I am excited to meet you in this journey.
