Academy

If you’ve read my book, Dream Big and Live Your Dreams Boldly: Taking Action to Fulfill Your Passion and Purpose, you would know your journey doesn’t stop at having a dream. You need to take action and continuously learn and improve your best possible future self. If you’re ready to take the next step in continuing your journey of self-growth and leadership drive to the next phase, I would like to invite you to….

Welcome to the Dream Big and Boldly Academy (DBBA), a safe space and community of like-minded people passionate about taking action towards fulfilling their passion and purpose.

I am Maurine Kwende, the CEO and Founder of Dream Big & Boldly Academy and  EMK Learning Solutions. I am also a Certified Personal and Executive Leadership Coach, and who is leading the charge in making it my mission to empower others to not only dream Big but to live their passion and purpose Boldly.

Do you have dreams? You probably have dreams, big and lofty dreams. I believe we all do but not everyone has the ability to take action and pursue and live their dreams. Some might use some help to get there. Some might have a gap between their dreams and actually living their dreams and fulfilling their potential. Some might need a ‘village’ a tribe, a safe space, a mentor, or an accountability partner(s).

That’s what the DBBA is about. The DBBA will fill that gap by providing the tools and right community to push you forward to live your dreams, with the life you always wanted to live. It will also give you access to a community of like-minded people to share knowledge with, learn from and hold each other accountable, and celebrate you all the way. The academy will help you be the ladder you can to hold unto to reach your full potential. The DBBA is not only for adults but also for our future generation of girls with the DBBA Future Women Leaders program.  Scroll down to learn more about our programs and select the program that’s right for you, your team, or your organization.

Are you ready for your big and lofty dreams to manifest? Or, have you given up? Have you tried so many times and failed? Well, it’s time to dream again, and this time around commit to seeing it manifest. This conference is for women and girls who have dreams, big and lofty dreams, and need a push in the right direction to take action and see their dreams manifest. This conference is also for women and girls who have faced obstacles to living their dreams. Some have abandoned their dreams or spend a huge part of their lives living the dreams or others or being discouraged to live their dreams. Research informs us that over 50 percent of women give up on their dreams. One of the main reasons is due to lack of confidence. However, of those who pursue their dreams, about 82 percent achieve them. 82 percent is encouraging and worth the gamble to take a leap and live your dreams. This conference is in two parts. Part 1 is for women leaders and part 2 is for our future women leaders, girls. 

In this conference, you will be inspired, empowered, motivated, gain confidence, and held accountable to live your dreams boldly. This is a 5-day conference with an incredible speaker line-up to equip women and girls to live their dreams boldly. Join us at the 2022 Dream Big and Boldly Academy Conference.

Masterminds

A mastermind simply put is a meeting of the minds. It is a group of peers, colleagues, and people with the same goal who get together for a specific period of time to rub minds, be vulnerable and provide support for each other. I love this quote that goes ” If you want to travel fast travel alone, if you want to travel far, travel together. Another famous quat is “It takes a village to raise a child.” Everyone needs a village, an inner circle, a tribe to belong to, to help each in personal and professional growth success.

Accountability Coaching Program

From research, 65% of people complete a goal once they commit to someone and when they schedule or appointment with a peer, there is a 95 percent chance of success. There is a positive correlation between having an accountability partner and success. The importance of having an accountability partnership with a life coach can not be overemphasized. Our accountability program is a partnership program between a life coach and a participant.

What is the Accountability Program and how can the program help you?
