Wisdom in the Finale, Part 5

Vaida Cesnulyte

Productivity Consultant

I am a numbers girl from Lithuania. After graduating with my Bachelor's and Masters's in Applied Mathematics, I moved to Finland to study Ph.D. in Applied Physics, Climate Change field. While I loved understanding the climate and physical processes behind it, presenting my research in various conferences, and collaborating with other scientists, I realized I do not see my future in academia and after 4.5 years I walked away. I wanted to use my Math knowledge in a different way.

For about 4 years I did various different jobs from Marketing Analyst to car import (I love cars!) in a small private firm. While being there, I started to put systems and tools in place to optimize work and automate it better. That was a breaking point when I realized I have the skills, the knowledge, and the desire to help people to be more productive and organize their time better. Goal Setting and Time Management have always fascinated me. I read tens of books on the topic, and also when I look back, I have been setting and achieving goals since school. I loved goals and I loved to achieve them even more!

In January 2021 I started my consulting business where I help established business owners, especially Attorney Owners, to grow their 6fig businesses towards multiple 6fig or 7fig while working fewer hours. I focus on up-leveling productivity skillset and becoming better at setting goals, organizing, prioritizing, managing emails and the calendar, eliminating distractions, and changing the mindset around effective work.

I am a firm believer that people are meant to do more in life than just work and I help to make it happen.

Nyeshia Gibson

CEO

My name is Nyeshia Gibson CEO of Saving AJ, Inc. I am 31 years of age and have a single mom of three. I spend my daily life working with single moms, victims of domestic violence, victim of circumstances, victims of rape, postpartum moms and mothers incarcerated. I provide free childcare to our moms so they can focus on getting help they need. This is my passion because I understand what it feels like to battle depression, I know what it feels like to lose yourself while searching for fulfillment from others. Also, because of where God has brought me from, I understand now where he is taking me. I remember going to counseling and feeling like I couldn't open up in fear of losing my children. I remember never being able to talk to anyone about it because of fear of what others may think. I am here to tell you that no matter what your short comings in life are or were, you can help others by just sharing your story. You never know where telling your story may take you. You never know how telling your story can help others. You can turn your story and experiences into your testimony. With God all things is possible. Never give up, Never lose hope🙏🏾

The harder your journey, the bigger your testimony!
