We had the good fortune of connecting with Meggie Soliman and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Meggie, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
I have many but one of my favorites that I work to apply in my daily life is by Tony Robbins ” Where focus goes, energy flows”. This quote is so powerful because it has changed every aspect of my life. I have shifted focus only on things I want to nurture and grow because whatever we focus on grows so rather than focusing on what I don’t want and any roadblocks that come into my life I recognize that everything is happening for me and to really put focus on what I want to create. This empowers me to be the co-creator of my life.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I was always someone who was intrigued by the things that were not yet considered main stream, hence my undergraduate degree at the time, Bioinformatics, to me whenever everyone is looking one way I want to look the other to find out where there’s opportunity and that’s really where my passion for innovative technologies came about. It wasn’t always easy, tech was always a male dominated industry but instead of viewing this as a challenge that required the industry to change I shifted my mindset and recognized I needed to differentiate myself. I never believed in fitting into a box, climbing the corporate ladder. I was raised not to compare myself to other so I knew I could have unlimited personal growth if that’s where I put my energy. I would go for opportunities that made me a little nervous or uncomfortable because I knew if I got uncomfortable I would grow and slowly the more uncomfortable moves we make before we know it we’ve stretched ourself to a new version of who we are.
For me when it comes to building my personal brand as a thought leader in technology or most recently I have been so intrigued with human consciousness and not just the woo woo aspect of it but actually how it affects business growth and how it can transform people and organizations. I don’t want to just know the shiny new technology or buzz word I want to own it, believe it, and live it because authenticity never lies.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oh wow, South Florida is truly paradise. I live in Palm Beach County today but I would definitely take friends to checkout Lincoln Road for some south beach ambiance but one of the most breathtaking places is Peanut Island. If you have not visited Peanut Island, and the amazing snorkeling in the crystal blue waters than you are definitly missing out on a big secret gem here!
