🌟 How does a dream transform into an impactful reality? Recently, I had the privilege of experiencing a transformative journey through an entrepreneurship program in New York. The daily walks through the streets of Manhattan to reach the classroom were nothing short of magical. Stepping out of class and being just steps away from The New York Times was truly incredible. Visiting Civic Hall was another highlight that added to the richness of this experience. During this program, I enhanced 7 key competencies that have redefined my approach: 1️⃣ Business Acumen: I learned to turn ideas into valuable opportunities and make strategic decisions with a clear vision. 2️⃣ Sense of Purpose: I reconnected with the mission of Uni Ingenio, my venture dedicated to helping young people achieve their university dreams and find their true purpose. 3️⃣ Innovation Skills: I discovered how to think outside the box and find disruptive solutions to everyday challenges. 4️⃣ Growth Mindset: I learned to view obstacles as opportunities for growth and to maintain a resilient attitude. 5️⃣ Relationship Building: I understood the importance of building genuine connections that enrich and support our entrepreneurial journey. 6️⃣ Execution Skills: Effective execution of ideas became a priority, reminding me that action is key to success. 7️⃣ Perseverance: I reaffirmed that perseverance is essential to overcoming challenges and continuing to move forward, even when the path gets tough. 💖 A special shoutout to Santander Open Academy and TrepCamp for the scholarship they provided me. Being one of the 60 selected participants for this program has been an invaluable opportunity that has transformed my perspective and entrepreneurial path. I also want to give a huge thank you to my EIR, the coordinators, speakers, and fellow participants who made this experience unforgettable. Your support and insights have been crucial to my growth 🙌🏻 Nahim Aliss Saba Antonella Sossi Abiel Gutierrez Carlos Mendoza Frances Simowitz Alejandra Molina Jackson Young Seema Shah Fernando Sepulveda Héctor Alejandro Macias Delgado And you, how are you turning your dreams into reality?
