Unlock University

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

—Michelangelo

Are you the type of person who gives so much to everyone else, that you end up with little time or energy for yourself? Do you like the feeling of taking on more and more, only to feel like you are not making any progress? Do you ever get the feeling that you could be and do so much more, if you could just find a way to invest more in yourself?

If there was a way you could change your life without needing to get permission from anyone else, would you take it?

Whether you are just starting out or already an accomplished professional, Unlock University provides you the dedicated attention needed to unlock the best version of you. Our philosophy is that everything you need to succeed is already inside you — it just needs to be revealed.

We believe as people realize their full potential, the world becomes a better place. The work you do, the connections you make, and the energy you bring into the world — all of these elevate you and the people around you.

We are so excited be a part of your journey! To find out how to Unlock U, join us at www.connectioncounselor.com/unlock-u

OUR GUEST

Andy Vargo

Own your awkward! That is what Andy Vargo challenges each of us to do. But it was not something he did himself for the first forty years of his life. Now that Andy understands the potential of being yourself, he is on a mission to help others do the same thing in order to unlock the powers of their full potential and even more, live their best life. Coming out of the closet at forty has not been what defines him, finally being himself and pursuing his passion for helping others does.

During the day Andy works corporate events and schools as a motivational speaker and one on one as a life coach, helping people navigate the obstacles that are between them and their happy successful life.

At night you can find him working stages around the northwest as a comedian making light of his journey with the gift of laughter. Awkward is not only his brand, but his style as Andy encourages us all to ‘Own Your Awkward’ and be true to our genuine selves.

Andy Vargo is the author of the Awkward Journal series, hosts the podcast, Own Your Awkward, and shares thoughts and ideas in his blog and video series available at awkwardcareer.com.

LAUNCHING POINT

The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
