YO GenYus it’s time to celebrate!

One of our very own Whiz Kids, Beatriz Alemar, is on the brink of greatness. The first leg of her journey went live today, and we are honored for the opportunity to participate in this monumental event!

Beatriz is a stunning example of what happens when you stop playing hide and seek and find your voice. She is a life coach that is passionate about her purpose and is playing an active role in helping Gen Y professionals and entrepreneurs break through barriers, get clarity, and start living now. She is a GenYus.

We could go on and on about her remarkable work, but the story of how she found her own voice is best told in her words.

Enter Beatriz…

I had a voice, and I silenced it.

I don’t quite remember when or how it happened. Biting my tongue here; holding in my opinion there. By the time I realized what was happening, I had lost most of my ability to deeply, emotionally express myself. The words would get caught in my throat. I’d open my mouth, but nothing would come out.

I had a voice, and I silenced it.

Gradually, it became natural for me to think that my opinions didn’t matter. That what I had to say wouldn’t and couldn’t make an impact. In fact, my words felt quite meaningless compared to everyone else’s. I didn’t dare dream. Because – after all – who was I to have a voice? Who was I to try? To dream? To soar?

After so long holding it in, something in me broke through. A voice – my voice – demanded “Who was I not to?” I am me, and I am not ashamed.

I have a voice, and it matters.

Now, I want to say it was easy to just start jabbering about my opinions here and there. You know, the fairytale happily ever after stuff. But, it wasn’t. I practiced and practiced and practiced expressing myself. I still do. [Confession: It's taken me a year to comfortably publish this post.] But, I’ve found what I have to say matters. And, what YOU have to say matters too.

You have a voice. Your dreams matter – what you have to say matters. Break through whatever barriers are holding you back. Find your voice. Share it.

You have a voice, and it matters.

We love you Beatriz!
