Lisa Mitchell is a wife, elementary school librarian, who runs a blog on the side focused on food, technology and travel.
Empowerment
Mitchell aspires to inspire others to try something new, to believe in themselves long enough to dip their toes into new waters. She does this through her blog by writing about tips, tricks and novice how-to’s in order to create a safe atmosphere for her readers to feel motivated and encouraged.
Mitchell explains that empowerment is “having the freedom to make one’s own choices and being responsible for their own decisions”. This form of freedom is what encourages others to push their own personal limits and as Mitchell expresses, that is what has an impact on their confidence and their abilities as a leader. When one feels empowered, they feel unstoppable, booming with confidence and taking their steps in becoming the manager of their own situation, a choice led by action.
Passion
Mitchell believes that “passion is necessary for meaningful growth”, growth and development that is held on by strength and determination. Mitchell’s passions live through her aspirations of starting a blog. When asked what it means to “live passionately”, Mitchell made a connection to the decisions she has made in her own life. By starting her own blog, she states that it was a big choice, that involved risks; however, it is one that she does not regret, and is a step she is glad that she took.
Dedication
Dedication is the moment where someone pushes through the barriers and obstacles that stand in their way. Mitchell explains that dedication is “persistence and perseverance […] the ability to keep trying, despite setbacks, defines dedication”. This worldview on dedication, encompasses Mitchell’s thoughts about life, aspirations, goals and dreams. She states that “wishing is all well and good, but unless action is taken to achieve goals, not much will happen”.
Mitchell is dedicated in the work that she does, showing her passions through her own creations.
When asked how the three, empowerment, passion and dedication, work together, Mitchell responds:
“Empowerment, passion and dedication work together to help a person achieve goals. Empowerment is the first step to making a decision and setting a goal. Passion is what motivates a person to follow through with that goal. Dedication is what keeps a person going when there are setbacks to achieving the goal.”
