Choose joy in spite of…

My chat with Donna Duncan Scott reinforced my belief in the power of possibility.

Duncan-Scott is Group Executive Director for Culture and Leadership at the JMMB Group and she lives her mother’s dreams every day.

Donna’s late mother founded JMMB in 1992 after enduring what could only be described as a personal tragedy. Her inspiring story of making the bold step and manifesting her greatness when the odds were against her, is a reminder that if you truly want something you can achieve it.

Now 30 years later, Donna and her siblings continue to ensure their mom’s legacy thrives by staying true to the foundation she lay.

In spite of her mother’s presence and protective nature, Donna’s childhood was violated. The mental and emotional turmoil that resulted from the experience followed her into her teens and adult life. It wasn’t until a major breakthrough during a personal and professional growth workshop that she came to the realization she would no longer allow her past to define her present and future.

This really candid conversation with a lady who exudes incredibly positive energy in spite of everything she’s experienced underscores the power of forgiveness, working through tragedy and not giving up on yourself.
