In a society that often glorifies constant hustle, M. Teresa Lawrence stands as a beacon of unconventional wisdom. As the Creative Visionary of Henry Forest LLC, she’s transforming how we think about leadership through her compelling concept, “The Leadership of Play.” From her roots as a Cuban refugee to becoming an accomplished lawyer and now a pioneering force in personal development, Teresa’s journey offers a riveting blend of resilience, ingenuity, and heart.
Teresa’s story is unique, spreading the heartfelt belief that a true leader resides inside each one of us, waiting to be awakened by playful adventure. “True leadership exists in us all,” Teresa explains, “We celebrate each other and the world we live in.” These aren’t just words for Teresa; they are a way of life, a philosophy she endorses, partly shaped by her early life experiences.
As a child refugee, Teresa was subjected to general displacement and alienation. However, a simple act of kindness from her grandmother—a doll and an encouragement to tell stories—empowered her to reshape her narrative and “rewrite her grand adventure.” Today, she wishes to gift her book “GLORIOUSNESS” along with journals and coloring materials to refugee and displaced children. “They must know they are the creators of their journey; they can choose their path,” Teresa insists.
Teresa’s commitment to sharing her wisdom extends beyond her own personal growth. Her desire to provide books, journals, and coloring materials to refugee and displaced children reflects her belief that everyone has the potential to shape their own narrative, regardless of their circumstances. It’s a beautiful reminder that leadership and empowerment are not limited by external factors but are innate qualities waiting to be awakened.
This year, Teresa takes her message to a larger platform as she speaks at the annual Fire Up Live business networking mastermind event in San Diego. This event promises a lineup of Red Carpet Reality TV Show Premieres, Real Estate Investing Mastermind Breakfasts, and celebrity guest speakers. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in visionary ideas while networking, you won’t want to miss this.
So, if Teresa’s message resonates with you, you’re probably the kind of person who values vision and is committed to real, meaningful change. “This event is for people who want more than success; they want to make a lasting impact,” Teresa explains. And if you’re looking for ways to pass down these values to the next generation, you’re in good company. After all, what’s more rewarding than leaving behind a legacy of positive transformation?
Teresa’s “Leadership of Play” is designed to help individuals step outside the box, embrace who they really are, and unleash their true leadership potential. “It’s time to share your TRUENESS with the world,” Teresa emphasizes.
If you’re someone who believes in the power of playful adventure to unearth the leader within you, keep an eye on M. Teresa Lawrence. “Together we rise,” she says. And with that, she invites us all to join her on this grand adventure.
