How do I get people to help me with my nonprofit?
I recently started a global youth-led nonprofit called Project Pulse, (@theogprojectpulse on TikTok and Instagram), which focuses on helping underserved communities across the globe gain access to healthcare by connecting them with licensed medical professionals. Right now, I’m facing a challenge: I don’t have medical professionals willing to partner with us. Beyond cold emailing (which often doesn’t get responses), what are effective strategies I could use to connect with doctors or healthcare providers who might want to get involved? Also, if you know of any medical professionals who may be open to volunteering their expertise, or if you’d like to help me grow this organization in other ways, I’d love your advice and support!

Which Career Path, Major, & Industry Should I Go Into?
Hello! I’m a high school student preparing to apply to college very soon. I’ve spent the past four years fully immersed in business and marketing—I’ve worked as a marketing intern, served as a state officer for Business Professionals of America, and received multiple awards in the field. I would also say I have a talent for it as I am very creative and business minded. However, recently I’ve experienced a shift. I’ve been deeply drawn to advocacy—especially in supporting underserved communities, advancing youth education globally, and championing women’s rights and access to resources. It feels like this is what I’m truly meant to do, and I want to take that passion to a professional level. I’ve started looking into careers in law, policy, and even advocacy-focused marketing, but I’m still uncertain about the right direction to pursue in college. As someone who’s navigating this transition, I’d be so grateful for any advice you could offer—whether on combining these interests or exploring pathways that align with my purpose.
How did you earn people's respect when leading them? I've tried to treat them as my equal so that communication is more open, but how do I maintain that trust in me while also ensuring that they respect my authority??
I've tried to treat them as my equal so that communication is more open, but how do I maintain that trust in me while also ensuring that they respect my authority? For example I was president of the Science club at my school and was good friends with my board members but when I needed to be serious with them I felt like I wasn't really getting through to them and that they wouldn't respect me or take me seriously.

How do I break out in management consulting?
Whenever I try to find information about consulting online, it's usually in reference to tax/audit consulting specifically, which isn't what I'm hoping to do. Instead, I want to do management consulting. While I have plenty of experiences in leadership outside of the working world, I've rarely had an opportunity to manage others in my career so far. Do I need a few years of management experience coming out to school to really be a viable consultant? Or would potential internship experience and my education be enough for me to start at an entry-level at a consulting firm?
How Can I Discover My True Talents, Regain Confidence, and Align My Career with My Passions?
Hello experts and professionals, I am reaching out because I’m currently facing a deep personal and professional struggle—I feel lost and uncertain about my identity, abilities, passion, and talents. I desperately want to understand myself better and discover my unique strengths, but I’m overwhelmed by confusion, self-doubt, and a lingering sense of inadequacy. To give you some context, I’m in my final semester studying Database Technology. I didn’t choose this major out of passion but rather because it aligned with the available opportunities at the time. Frankly, I’m unsure whether I have a genuine interest in this field or whether it aligns with my abilities. I often feel disconnected from the subject matter, which contributes to my anxiety since I’ve invested over 16 years in education. The possibility of not working in my study field makes me feel as if those years were wasted. Currently, I work as an administrator for a job recruitment company. My responsibilities include: Scheduling and coordinating appointments with job seekers, discussing available opportunities with them, and guiding them through job options. Drafting and providing employment contracts. Handling and managing incoming calls regarding job openings. Maintaining detailed Excel sheets to track job data, job seekers’ profiles, and customer information. Managing social media accounts and creating posts to promote job opportunities and company updates. The most challenging part—matching job vacancies to job seekers, which often creates significant pressure as I strive to find suitable positions for everyone. Despite managing these tasks effectively, I often feel drained, uninspired, and exhausted. I constantly push myself to spread positivity and help those around me, even though I rarely receive encouragement or recognition in return. People describe me as knowledgeable, a smooth talker, and someone who can engage and satisfy others through effective communication. However, internally, I battle a lack of energy and confidence. This struggle is partly rooted in my upbringing. My parents and older brother rarely acknowledged my value. They often told me I was useless or not clever enough, which profoundly shaped my self-image. My brother, a doctor, frequently imposed his opinions on me, leaving me feeling unheard and insignificant. This dynamic made me feel like I had no individuality or voice. Looking back, I realize that I once had a passion—bodybuilding. As a teenager, I dreamed of becoming a bodybuilding coach. I loved spending time at the gym, sometimes working for over 14 hours without feeling tired. I became an assistant coach, guiding gym members, motivating them, and earning their respect. I was passionate about helping people achieve their fitness goals. I even dreamed of studying pharmacy to learn more about supplements and nutrition to enhance my coaching skills. However, due to the mark-based educational system in my country, I couldn’t pursue that path. This passion for helping others hasn’t disappeared. I still find immense satisfaction in supporting others genuinely. However, as time has passed, I’ve lost confidence in social interactions. I often feel that people don’t care about my opinions or value my input—a feeling likely rooted in my early experiences with my family. Although I know this perception is not necessarily true, it continues to affect my confidence when meeting new people or speaking in unfamiliar settings. I also yearn to live a creative and meaningful life. The idea of simply going to work, watching the clock, and waiting to leave feels unbearable. I want to contribute creatively, solve problems innovatively, and add meaningful value. I strive for perfection and often pressure myself and my colleagues to ensure everything runs smoothly. When things don’t go as planned, it weighs heavily on my mind. My ultimate goal is to find clarity about my abilities, passions, and talents. I believe that once I truly understand my strengths, I can face any challenge with confidence. I want to recognize my value, unlock my potential, and thrive both personally and professionally. I even dream of going abroad to start fresh and rediscover myself. Given my background and challenges, I am seeking your expert guidance on the following: How can I discover my true talents and passions? What practical steps can I take to align my career with my interests and abilities? How can I regain my self-confidence and overcome the long-standing feelings of being unheard and undervalued? What strategies can help me break free from this cycle of confusion and find a fulfilling, creative career path? Your insights and advice would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and support me on this journey toward self-discovery and growth. at the end if someone can hear me closer, i can contact him i will be so pleasure and never forget it, cause i really need help and hand to raise me up .

How Can I Discover My Talents and Find a Career Path I Truly Love ?
Hello everyone, I’m currently an administrator at a company’s employment office, but I’m on a journey to discover my true passion and career path. I understand that the best career for me should align with my abilities and interests, allowing me to work with enthusiasm rather than just waiting for the day to end. Here’s some background about me: My colleagues say I’m very talkative and good at communicating with people, especially in commercial fields. Five years ago, I dreamed of becoming a bodybuilding coach, as fitness and supplements fascinated me. Back then, I could work for 12 hours without feeling tired. However, I’m not sure if I still have the same passion for it. I graduated with a degree in database technology. While I have skills in technology, I find that I’m more of a social and community-oriented person. I thrive when working with people and enjoy leadership roles. People often say I have strong leadership skills, patience, responsibility, and loyalty. They also mention that I leave a positive impact wherever I go. On the downside, I’m a deep thinker, which sometimes leads to social anxiety. I know I want to build something of my own and create a career that reflects my strengths. However, I’m struggling to identify my talents, abilities, and the right path for me. I’d love to hear advice from professionals and experts: How can I identify my true talents and abilities? How can I find a career path that aligns with my personality, interests, and skills? Thank you for taking the time to read my story and share your insights.
