Ms. Daniels feels uniquely qualified to offer this type of assistance. She began her early adult years on state-assistance, and during these lean years, she became actively interested in welfare-reform. Her desire to make better choices and to offer hope to those who wished for the same opened the door for her to motivate others through speaking engagements. The empowering presentations she gave, in turn, led her to enter the world of academia to pursue a higher level of education earning both Bachelors and Masters Degrees.
She started HMG Consultants in 2000 and credits it as the reason she has become more involved with the central Ohio community. Through her informational and transformational workshops, her positive message has resonated with many who have turned their lives around by making better choices and creating positive legacies for future generations.
Her relationship with INCREASE CDC is a strong one. She has received two micro loans from us and is currently taking advantage of our Individual Development Account (IDA) program, which matches $2,000 when the participant saves $1,000. This past November, she was a guest presenter at our Passion to Profit Seminar. Click here to see her video from the event.
On a personal level, I asked Ms. Daniels to recommend a good book, one she had read recently. She quickly replied, “The Servant Leadership of Jesus Christ,” a book which has helped her in leading and serving others. When asked for her favorite quote, Ms. Daniels wowed me with, “Sometimes, you have to close your eyes to see clearly.” She explains that often our sight gets in the way of our vision. “To keep this from happening,” she says, “We must turn our visions from outward to inward.” We agree and will remember her words of wisdom (WOW).
As a graduate in this month’s spotlight, we wish Ms. Carla Daniels much increase in 2012 and beyond. For more information on Ms. Daniels and her company, HMG Consultants, LLC, please visit, Carla@hmgconsultants.com.
