"It truly delivered."
A wave of high energy and positive
vibes hit me as I entered the lobby. In
true JMMB spirit, a cheerful
representative greeted me and guided
me towards the brilliantly lit welcome
table. The ambience spoke of an
event that was bound to challenge
and elevate everyone present.
It truly delivered. The creativity of the
JMMB marketing team was on full
display. From the nifty game used to
get participants to engage with each
other and JMMB's flagship services to
the awe-inspiring presentations of the
main presenters, Elevate exceeded
expectations. I entered carrying the
baggage of stress and left feeling
motivated and inspired.
Events of this nature often have that
e�ect. They put us on a high, making
us feel like we can conquer the world.
Yet, as time progresses we put that
inspiration on the back burner until it
becomes a cold fire, a forgotten flame.
This event was di�erent. The speakers
were real and practical. I actually left
with a clear idea of how I should
approach life in order to achieve the
success I crave. Here are some of the
nuggets of truth I learnt from each
presentation.

Rochelle Cameron
A Dynamic Risk-Taker
Let's get one thing straight before I outline what I learnt
from Rochelle's presentation. This woman is an energetic,
fun, amazing and gifted motivational speaker. There was
never a dull moment and I think that made what she shared
even more poignant.
Here are some of the key points from her presentation:
1. Stop allowing fear to hold you back. If you want to
succeed, you must be willing to be uncomfortable.
2. Vocalize what you want your dream job to be. It's not
enough to keep it as a dream in your mind. Let it out
into the atmosphere. In the same breath, be careful of
the words you speak. You could be putting a negative
shadow over your life. What you speak is who you
become.
3. Body language matters. Assume a more confident
and assertive posture and you'll begin to display those
qualities.
4. Take a seat at the big table. You've earned it! Don't
hide in the shadow of your male counterparts. Take that
seat and say, "I'm here!"
5. Create opportunities. When last have you updated
your CV? Take it out and adjust it to reflect newly
acquired skills and job experiences. Also, volunteer for
activities in areas in which you're interested. People will
only be able to see what you can o�er if you put
yourself out there.
