Starting to Turn Obstacles Into Opportunities Lasada grew up in an underserved community with low resources and not having a whole lot. He feels like during his entire life that he’s had to turn obstacles into opportunities. There was always some type of roadblock, there was always some type of challenge. Lasada has a background in engineering and technology where he spent his professional time for a decade. Even making the shift from engineering and technology into the keynote and motivational speaking space was an obstacle. Lasada had to see the opportunity inside of that transitional moment if he wanted to get past that obstacle. An obstacle can be anything. It can be fear, it can be anxiety, it can be procrastination, it can be self-doubt, it can be a lack of self-confidence. There are so many obstacles that we don’t realize are obstacles because they’re wrapped in a different type of clothing. Because of that there are so many obstacles that we need to identify, and that’s the only way that we can turn them into opportunities. For Lasada it was getting over the fear, embracing it, learning how to coexist with it, and building up his self-confidence. He needed to develop the confidence that he could make each leap and go forward and operate in the space of keynote and motivational speaking that he operates in today. A Lifelong Journey Turning obstacles into opportunities has been a lifelong journey for Lasada.

It’s then that you really need to see and focus on the opportunities. A Decision to Create Opportunities When Lasada was getting ready to leave corporate, he was faced with a decision.

Nothing was “wrong”. OR he could take a leap of faith and go after what he really wanted to do, what he really loved, and what he really desired. He said a lot of times you are so blinded by what’s good that it blinds you from getting to what’s great. If you are blinded by darkness in your life, it’s oftentimes going to be hard to see that light. You have to shift that perspective. You have to change the way you see it. You must look at it like as an obstacle, but at the same time realize there’s also an opportunity naturally baked into every obstacle. If you adopt a mentality that for every problem there is a solution, whether you have the solution at that time or not, that’s a whole different story. You can adopt a mentality that within every problem that you face, there’s also a solution. So Lasada did a ...
