Bio
Welcome to my page.
It is all about my life experiences and what I learnt so far from being exposed to a different world-life outside of a traditional village in the South Pacific.
I carry my tribe called Denemus which is part of my web address closely to my heart as it is where I had grown up, learnt my cultural values and lived off the land and the sea waters with my family.
I was very fortunate to have met many people of all backgrounds and for that I was very grateful to have as close friends. I invested in these relationships-many of them were so important to my growth and development both personally and professionally. I went out of my way to not sit back and expect things to happen. I invested in networking-I had to overcome a lot of fear, build up my confidence in a foreign country and took some very big risks. They were in fact the scariest times in my life where I had to trust my gut instincts, get support from my friends and sought professional help to foster my career and move ahead in life. My fathers advice that would remain with me for a very long time was the fact that he dictated to me "Leina you have to spend money to make money!" as we were sipping on our hot chocolates near the beach in Seatoun, Wellington, New Zealand.
Today, September 4th 2016 I have especially thought about my father and all the father figures everywhere who have contributed, influenced and made a difference to my career growth and personal development. Oh yes, I have failed it so many times but those were my favourite times-they made me grow and became so much so stronger in the face of disaster and life's toughest battles. I became fiercely independent and resilient that I had fight my own encounters to solve and deal without having my parents and family.
Here is my first time being a blogger; a little something from my auto-biography book which I hope to publish one day as a book that would capture and document my life's journey, experiences and exposure to a life outside of a traditional village.
Happy reading and sharing.
