BACKGROUND & BEGINNING PURPOSE
After Sonya Bailor was finally out of the state system, living in an orphanage, then foster home, her mother made a conscious decision to overflow her daughter with as much good as she could - in an attempt to overpower the bad childhood that she had finally come out of. From a pre-teenager, Sonya's mother and adopted dad raised her in church, as well as with a non-stop overflow of Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbin's audios, videos, and books. Even the rarely heard of Zig Ziglar Singers cassette tapes were on repeat in her household from that time. Sonya quickly showed leadership traits, and her mom & dad began bringing her with them attending many business and motivational conferences, such as Tony Robbins, Dale Carnegie, and other personal and business growth leaders. The growth mindset was engrained into her as a foundation for who she is today.
Fast-forwarding into Sonya Bailor's marketing career, she went deep into the study of the human brain and human behavior - why people do what they do, why they respond the ways they respond, and so on - as well as deep communication skills. This not only helped accelerate her career path up the marketing executive ladder while she was in the corporate world... it made her excellent at the niche of growth that she focuses on today. Understanding how to unlock growth in people and businesses comes from both her entrepreneurial parents, her upbringing of grit and mindset, and the skills that she learned and studied along the way.
