We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dr Varil Williams a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Dr Varil thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

In the summer of 2015, I stood at the threshold of a new chapter in my life as I graduated with a doctoral degree. It was a moment I had worked tirelessly for, but it wasn’t just the culmination of years of academic pursuit; it marked a defining moment that would shape the trajectory of my career. I discovered the concept of Self-Efficacy, coined by the esteemed psychologist Albert Bandura; then I turned my research into a training program that provided powerful strategies for building high self-esteem. My end results catapult me to open 3 business, digital products, course training and support groups to help others who struggled with challenges I suffered in the past.

And then, in March 2020, the world as we knew it shifted in ways we could never have imagined. The World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic, sending shockwaves through every facet of society. What initially seemed like a looming catastrophe soon revealed itself as a crucible of opportunity for those with the resilience and self-belief to seize it.
For me, it was a moment of reckoning. Where others saw chaos and uncertainty, I saw potential and possibility. Armed with the unwavering confidence that Self-Efficacy had instilled within me, I navigated the tumultuous landscape with clarity and conviction. What might have appeared as famine to some became a feast of opportunity for those who dared to dream and do.
That pivotal moment, standing at the crossroads of personal triumph and global upheaval, illuminated the path forward with dazzling clarity. It was a moment that crystallized the power of self-belief and resilience in shaping not just individual destinies, but the course of history itself.
From that day forward, I embraced every challenge as an invitation to grow, every setback as a steppingstone to success. And as I reflect on the journey that brought me to where I stand today, I am reminded that our greatest moments of transformation often arise from the crucible of adversity, fueled by the unwavering belief in our own potential to soar.
You

My work consists of evidence of my research. into a training program that provided powerful strategies for building high self-esteem. My end results catapult me to open 3 business, digital products, course training and support groups. In addition, to my mom passing away due to alcoholism (I was 13yrs of age). One of my favorite published books is called: “Ingredients for Absolute Results” of how I escaped death 12 times.” This life Provolt me to be a Destiny Helpers to the Nation.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

I believe when people (my target group are women) are informed, they transform into powerful leaders. Knowledge is the keystone of transformation, and when individuals are informed, they become builders of change, carrying influence with purpose and clarity. In the realm of leadership.
Consider the journey of a leader: armed with insight, they navigate challenges with resilience and wisdom. Informed leaders don’t only react; we anticipate, strategize, and inspire. We possess the vision to see beyond the horizon and the courage to lead others into uncharted territories.
More importantly, knowledge empowers leaders to nurture a culture of growth and development within their teams, groups, and platforms. By nurturing an environment where learning is valued, women cultivate a community of individuals who are not only competent but also passionate about their craft. Informed leaders understand that the true measure of success lies not only in personal achievement but also in the empowerment of those around them.
In a world that is constantly evolving, the ability to adapt and innovate is vital. Informed leaders, equipped with a deep understanding of their industry and the broader socio-economic improve, are at the forefront of progress. They embrace change as an opportunity for growth, leading their organizations through transformational shifts with confidence and grace.
Ultimately, the journey from information to transformation is one of profound significance. Informed leaders do not merely lead; they inspire, influence, and ignite change. Several Research alludes women are the leading force of beacons of light in a world hungry for direction, guiding others towards a future filled with promise and possibility.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

Just to name a few Vickle Franklin philosophy on “Unwavering Love” He was able to survive and help others in the same way develop a mindset toward survival of daily torment starvation and prison. Myles Monroe on Leadership strategies.

I am currently working on being a candidate on TED Talks: TED Talks offer a treasure trove of thought-provoking insights from leading experts in management and entrepreneurship. Many great speakers who share valuable perspectives on leadership, innovation, and personal development.
