Title:  Step up, Level up, and Never give up to Inspire Others

Abstract

The first step in serving is to sign up to serve. The action is worth a thousand words.

There are many ups and downs in life, but I’ve created fun and learned many valuable lessons during Covid-19 crisis.

During this crisis, what can an individual do to contribute to others? There is no one absolute answer to this, but through a self-publishing project, this speech aids to inspire you to step up, level up, and inspire others together. I will be sharing the journey to publishing and the project experience with my first book – “Mommy is a project manager”, from the idea to publishing.
