I'll never forget the day my life changed forever. It wasn't in a boardroom or a courtroom, but in a small village in Uganda. There, I met a woman who had lost everything to war, yet still dreamed of becoming a judge. In that moment, I realized something profound: dreams don't discriminate, but opportunity often does.
Friends, that realization was my turning point. I'm Hillary Walsh, and I'm here to tell you that one decision can change everything.
You see, I was just a small-town kid from Kansas with big dreams. But that day in Uganda, I made a decision: to use my privilege and opportunities to make a real difference in the world. That decision led me to law school, to advocating for immigrants who've survived unimaginable hardships, and eventually to founding New Frontier Immigration Law.
Now, let me ask you this: What decision are you avoiding that could change everything?
Here's what I've learned on this journey:

Wonder is your greatest asset: Stay curious, stay open. The world is full of possibilities if you're willing to see them.
Your legacy starts now: Every action, every decision, shapes the future. What seeds are you planting today?
Excellence is a habit, not a destination: It's not about being perfect; it's about consistently giving your best.
Leadership is about empowerment: At New Frontier, we don't just hire women; we put them in leadership. Why? Because when you empower others, you multiply your impact.
Success without significance is failure: Yes, we're the fastest-growing law firm in Arizona. But our real success? The lives we've changed, the hope we've restored.

Let me challenge you: What if your business became a force for good in the world? What if your leadership could transform not just bottom lines, but human lives?
I've seen it happen. From the TEDx stage to the pages of Newsweek, I've shared this message. And you know what? People are hungry for purpose-driven leadership.
Remember, leadership isn't about titles. It's about impact. It's about seeing potential where others see problems. It's about turning "What if?" into "What's next?"
So, I'll leave you with this: Your influence is greater than you know. Your decisions today will shape someone's tomorrow. Will you rise to that responsibility?
Are you ready to lead with wonder, create a lasting legacy, and pursue excellence in all you do? If so, you're not just building a business. You're shaping the future.
Welcome to your turning point. The world is waiting for your decision.
