How We Won $25,000 1st Prize at Advance San Diego

Group_emailI agonized and struggled writing this 3 minute speech. How could I encapsulate and convey how lives were changing in Leap to Success programs in just 180 seconds? I was guided by the help of mentors and coaches through Social Venture Partners, our team, and terrific presentation coaches Chris Witt and Jeff Bucholtz. The whole team was there with their support.

We had a winning idea (really, a secret weapon) that worked out beautifully. So beautifully in fact, that out of 85 organizations we were selected as the First Prize $25,000 winner.

Here’s the Advance San Diego Competition (scroll to 38.55 for our presentation)

“It’s important to be willing to make mistakes.
The worst thing that can happen is you become memorable.”
–Sara Blakely, SPANX founder

A confident woman doesn’t just move through the world; she shapes it! How does she do that? Her optimism and resilience inspire more authentic and engaging connections, resulting in stronger relationships. She doesn’t sweat the small stuff and is better equipped to handle criticism, rejection, and setbacks with not only grace but style.

A confident woman knows (and understands) how to network, build trust, set trends, and operate from a position of strength. Her confidence is more than just personal power–it’s social currency. #leaptoconfidence #confidence #comebacks #plottwist #herstory #connection #women #empowerment
