YOU CAN DO IT!

I just watched the most amazing, uplifting and motivating video. Susan Boyle, captured the crowd, in her rendition of I DREAMED A DREAM. The audience, the judges were clearly against her. One judge noted, 'we were all cynical'.

I was thrilled to see her give them a huge wake up call. They laughed at her because she said she'd like to be like Elaine Page. And SHE DID IT!! She belted out the song from Les Mis and sounded like a pro!

She wasn't flustered, she didn't waver when they rolled their eyes and laughed at her.... and maybe she didn't know.... but good for her.... let's all practice the Susan Boyle effect, and give people a chance; be careful of assumptions. We're all guilty, to some degree of that. Susan Boyle is beautiful in her own right, and I had goose bumps when I saw the video and heard the judges give her the praise she deserved.

Have you ever been discouraged with your job search and with your networking efforts? Next time you go to an event or to an interview and feel intimidated ... believe in yourself. Remember how Susan Boyle stood there, unassuming on the stage, and opened her mouth to become a star. I hope you pull a 'Susan Boyle' and simply show the world who you are and what your talents are.
