Adina Sison is the founder, creator and executive producer of What’s Good 206? Adina’s motivation was to share the talents and positive actions of youth in the community.  “I felt like adults were giving youth a bad rap – saying things like they are too entitled, they don’t care. My experiences with young people have been completely opposite; I want to show the positives of Gen-Y and encourage youth who watch to show and say hey, I can do that!”

Discover your Path

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

***

”In our interviews and surveys, only about one in five young people in the 12-22-year age range express a clear vision of where they want to go, what they want to accomplish in life, and why.”

Path to Purpose, William Damon

As the point where what the world needs most…intersects with your natural gifts, interests and skills

Think about the above quote. What is it that you love doing; you are good at that meets a need of the world?

In order to do this, they must have the requisite skills that are required for a new form of people engagement which requires thought leaders,  willing to participate in diverse teams to achieve shared goals, possess a genuine sense of empathy for others, and are capable of seeing the opportunities and being  ‘change-makers’ who just make it happen.
