Community involvement is something Robyn is passionate about. Speaking out on issues that affect your local
area harnesses the power we have as community members. Her vast
experience across Kenya and America has shown her that sometimes one person is the spark that encourages
others with similar ideas.

TAKE ACTION

“If you are not in action
you can’t have new
experiences .”

PURPOSE

“It’s not enough to be at the top of
your career, individual experience is as
– if not more – important as
professional development. If you
continually focus on your purpose
within that job you will keep your drive
and passion.”
![Page 10: How she does september 2nd 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082623/5457828baf795994188b50eb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Our purpose in life comes naturally to
us. We then have to stop and reflect
and ask ourselves whether we are
answering it. We have to make sure
that every action is an expression of
who we really are inside. ”

FAILURE

“Failures are not mistakes, failures just
aren’t celebrated enough. Failures
often take you to where you need to
go, showing you what you need to do
differently in the future.”
![Page 13: How she does september 2nd 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082623/5457828baf795994188b50eb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Transformations happen when you
fail, and transformation is integral to
growth. Sometimes when things work,
we just nod and step back, failing to
ask...what else could it do?”

DEFINITIONS
![Page 15: How she does september 2nd 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082623/5457828baf795994188b50eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“People’s expectations can sometimes
define you, and how things should
work. It’s more important though to
find your own expectations of yourself,
and be clear about how that will work
for you and the people in your life.”
![Page 16: How she does september 2nd 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082623/5457828baf795994188b50eb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Robyn asked members to consider how
to have a fully, engaging experience,
ensuring we don’t only live to others
definition of ourselves.

“You then have to figure out how to
ensure people are cheering for the new
definition you have made for your life.
One way is to live with confidence.”
