Dream Big Institute uses an ASSET-BASED approach to help people PERSIST with strategies to succeed in both academia and life.
Life doesn't just have to happen to you
You CAN design the life you DESIRE!
Key Questions:
Why were you BORN?
Why are you HERE ?
What is your PURPOSE ?
Key Suppositions:
- We were all born with a purpose.
- Purpose is discoverable and achievable.
- There is more than one way to succeed.
Isn't it time to re-think the meaning of success?
Shouldn't we consider:
Multifinality VS. Equifinality?
What is in your way of getting on your path to becoming your best self?
What would you do if fear of failure didn't exist?
"If you can dream it, you can achieve it"
- Zig Ziglar

Dreaming BIG can be life altering
I needed a plan to escape the ghetto
Educators need motivation or enhanced skills
Professionals need a sense of fulfillment
Some need culturally relevant teaching strategies, time management, or study skills, while others need inspiration and motivation (especially if you're working on an advanced degree).
"When you learn, teach. When you get, give."
―Maya Angelou
