“Meet Chloe….
I first met Chloe in April when we were selling her family home. At the time she did not really engage with us at all and was somewhat distant and aloof. As we came to understand the reason for selling was due to her parents divorcing, I felt that there was more we could do to help draw out her personality and empathise with what she may have be going through during this process.
Once sold, she started to open up and show her effervescent personality. Not knowing what she wanted to do with her future, we invited her to Empower. She was hesitant so we suggested that her parents and brother come along with her. It was amazing to watch her blossom after that day. We invited her to an “opportunity week” and by the end of that week, we offered her a job as our benchie.
She is full of life and motivation and her important lesson from empower which she quotes often is “80% attitude, 20% skill”. Watch out for Chloe Purll!
Meet Zac….Zac is the twin brother of Chloe and couldn’t be more different. Quiet and introverted, we mistook his shyness and low self-esteem for apathy, as did his parents. He most certainly did not want to come to Empower and was trying to find his way out. Thanks to his parents who drove them both there, he attended and most importantly, was “present” throughout the seminar.
It gave me great joy to watch him engage at the Empower Seminar and to even take notes. We also invited him for an opportunity week at Wiseberry Mona Vale. From the quiet, shy and withdrawn young man, we watched him bloom and his confidence level rise. By the end of the week, he was opening up, making buyer calls and asking what he needed to do to get into real estate.
He is now working full time for a large food company and his important take home lesson was “No matter what job you do, make it count and give it 100% because attitude is everything “
Wiseberry can help…Empower opened my mind and my heart and we are so blessed to have businesses where we can help our youth find purpose and passion. I have been so inspired to watch these two young people grow and discover their own drive and passion. What a privilege!”
