About Us -
Breakout Bold, Inc. is a non-profit organization that was established in February 2020, to help people discover, believe, and pursue their uncommon gifts in order to live a life fulfilled.
Our primary mission is to inspire young people to pursue an encouraging path, unwrap their gifts, believe they are exceptional, and Breakout Bold. We want them positioned so that they can test and activate their gifts, experience the extraordinary, and boldly step into their destiny.
If we succeed … humanity wins.
We believe as stated by public education advocate Horace Mann, (1796-1859) “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”
Purpose
To inspire and motivate people to discover their true gifts and live a life fulfilled. As a result, they help their community and humanity. Breakout Bold provides key principles that will change and advance the way people think. They will listen to their encouraging inner voice and begin to unwrap their gifts, test, and pursue their gifts with passion. This pathway to purpose will help eliminate isolation, helplessness, and advance the human condition.
Problem
Many people go through life without purpose - they wake up every day and walk an unremarkable path and expect the ordinary. That’s unacceptable. High schools, college campuses, workplaces, and communities are filled with too many people who lack direction and passion to discover their purpose in life.
Solution
We embrace the SMART formula - Specific, Measurable, Appropriate, Realistic and Timely. We have designed our Breakout Bold programs to include such activities and resources that can be tracked and measured for success.
We speak and educate teenagers as to how they can Breakout Bold. Give them copies of the book, “Breakout Bold: Experience Your Extraordinary” so that they will be motivated to explore their uncommon gifting. The book includes Breakout Bold Declarations that impart an extra measure of self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. It empowers people to pursue an encouraging path… one filled with hope and personal accomplishment.
