So my first job was at the bank yes, as a switchboard operator answering the phone and it almost drove me crazy because it was 950 times a day answering but I continued to invest time and energy into qualifying myself in IT. I wouldn't even think fixing the bank's computers at the time. But my manager still thought I was too blind to work in the IT department. But one thing led to another and then eventually I ended up working for a number of IT companies. And my last job in IT was actually for international security company SSL security company Mark Shuttleworth, a South African and at that stage, I was international sales manager with a huge decided team, massive quarterly goals. So yeah, so I did end up in working in IT and when I achieved that I felt completely empty and I couldn't understand why, I was like this was my I wanted to do this. I wanted to get the car, the home, the t shirt, the job, the cool job, the good pay, and that all happened but I felt empty and I realized that I didn't understand my purpose and in trying to identify my purpose, I guess, in a way, helped me ending up in the speaking business becoming corporate entertainer and a motivator because it was always right in front of me. All my purpose was to help people to turn huge obstacles into major opportunities because that's exactly what I did with my blindness. And when I discovered that it opened a whole new career for me. So at first I was speaking at schools, and then, you know, the parents found out that there's a guy that can maybe motivate them. And that's ended up being a career for the last 16 years, being able to travel the world, and have amazing experiences the world over, and working with leadership teams of multinational small, large companies. And it has also been a huge personal growth access. And you know, during all of this, I had to start qualifying myself during my article, all of a sudden, I had just managing 20- 30-40 people. So I enrolled at the Open University of London for a management qualification, you know, to make sure that I can at least support these youngsters, you know, from an HR perspective, from a business perspective and on a personal level on all levels, and support the business. And that foundation also helped me to understand the challenges that businesses are going through today. And you know, what kind of leadership context they need, what kind of inspiration I need to inspire this stuff. So that journey also took me back to India a number of years ago, where I had probably one of the most phenomenal experiences of my life. And also a huge lesson on the outskirts of Mumbai is a tiny little, on the cusp of one of the big slums, a tiny little school, where there are 40 Kids, these kids happen to be deaf and blind. When I spoke at this event, they told me about the school. So I went to the school, and I meet one of the teachers there who is also completely deaf and blind. He's been at the school for 55 years, he started as a eight year old deafblind kid, finished his schooling, went on to achieve a master's degree in education, gone back to the school is teaching fellow deafblind children. The man sits in front of an ordinary computer, a big screen in front of me, for anybody that can see his benefit. Look over his shoulder whilst he's typing on a normal touch type keyboard, I've got the braille display under my fingers, so we can communicate. And you know, my first question to him, given the opportunity to type on his keyboard was how on earth did you achieve a master's degree in education, you're completely blind and deaf, what a world. I can't imagine my world without being my entire experience is made up by audible cues. You know, the tapestry of the world is painted with audio, that's where it starts. So I was so fascinated. And he said, well, you know, we developed a tactile sign language at the school, where the kids can feel when they move their fingers, they hold my hands, they can feel what the other child is saying. It was just the most phenomenal thing and seeing this guy, experienced a guy with a master's degree in education. It just, I don't know, people ask me sometimes would you want to be deaf or blind? I don't know. But I can tell you this. I certainly don't want to be both deaf and blind. And that taught me the biggest lesson in life, that's the law of appreciation. Because we should all appreciate what we've got. Because there are hundreds and thousands, in fact, millions of people out there that are less fortunate than we are the things that me and you the things we take for granted. Someone else right now is praying for. And I had to come to India for that lesson. And it was a huge lesson in humility, and also a lesson that served me so well in my career as a speaker and absolutely everything that I do.
