MaryBeth Hyland founded Spark Vision to assist organisations in establishing collaborative, inclusive workplace environments.
In particular, they specialise in millennial workforce engagement, providing courses to assist businesses with building cooperation and improving relationships among employees.
Hyland; sadly a child of abuse; has often struggled with her self-esteem and confidence in her life.
She has sought to overcome that though, drawing on her worst experiences to connect with others she works with and using it to drive success.
According to her website, Hyland believes that without her previous experiences, she would be nowhere near as effective in her current position, as she is today.
Everyone has a past, and not all aspects of them are pleasant.
However, no matter what you’ve been through, she feels you can use your knowledge and experience to build empathy and use what you have learned to change the future for the better.
In Hyland’s case, her difficult childhood motivated and drove her, and her company now thrives as a result.
To show our respect to MaryBeths inspiring story, we bring you her top quotes surrounding success and overcoming adversity!
“My purpose now is to create spaces where voices are heard and stories are released.
And my history of abuse is the driving factor in knowing how to do that and how critical that is for our human experience.
I feel immense levels of joy and love every time I get to create that type of environment.”
“The sole purpose of our existence as a species is to love. But en masse, our society promotes fear instead of love.”
“We all need reminders about who we are and/or who we want to be. I often write down that “I am enough” or “I am love” or “I am who I’m supposed to be” to remind myself of what’s true. It carries me through the day!”
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you are.”
“the only way to live in love is to shine the light on the darkness and give love to our fears.
When we can do that for ourselves, everyone around us benefits and they’re able to bathe in the light with us.”
