H appy New Year! Happy 2013

I dont know about you, but as soon as we crossed over to 2013, a cloud that had been looming over me in 2012 disappeared.

2012 was a very challenging year for me and Im sure for many of you; however I put it down to the various areas of development I was going through in my life i.e. marriage, ministry, children, life in general. There were some super fantastic moments such as the wonderful connections I made; the release of my 3rd book and generally hearing the positive things that other women and men were doing in their communities locally and internationally.

2013 is a year of establishment and harvest, a year that will see all your seeds of hard work manifest into harvests of establishment and expansion.

I would like to encourage you to keep on declaring it and only believe there is a verse in Mark 11:23 24 which says,

For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast

into the sea, and does not doubt in his/her heart, but believes that those things he says

will be done, he/she will have whatever he/she says.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask, when you pray, believe that you re-

ceive them and you will have them.

What things are you asking for in 2013? Do you believe that you already have them? Theyve been in the spiritual realm waiting for you to claim them, but you can only see them physically when you believe without doubt, and in doing so you declare and claim.

What mountain were you dealing with in 2012 that has been waiting for you to get rid?

To speak to your mountain and see it move takes certain strength of grace, under-standing your authority in Christ and a total belief in Gods Promises for your life. Thats why its important to:

Make a Decision to Get Out of Your Own Way in 2013

Have you ever heard the term the enemy within?

When people use this term, most times theyre referring to someone in their cir-cles, close to them, someone who may be part of their lives. EW

CEO Dare to Dream & Founder of WOW CEO Dare to Dream & Founder of WOW MinistriesMinistries

Usha Oliver is an internationally renowned speaker, and training and development

consultant who is passionate about uncovering potential, especially that which is

latent. Her motivational style is inspiring, entertaining and aims to encourage clients

to look beyond their comfort zones and step out with confidence.

Ushas previous experience in various roles in government spanning two decades

has given her transferrable skills that have proved crucial and invaluable to Dare to

Dream. Her role of Communication and Marketing Manager at the Voluntary Centre,

Westminster, was instrumental in formulating their marketing and communication

strategies. As Training and Development Manager, Usha has assisted in the formu-

lation of organisational training strategies and developing leadership courses for

senior management teams across the entire organisation.

Ushas success lies in her ability to be honest yet positive, and her desire is that every attendee will gain new and relevant information, reach their full potential, and acquire any necessary para-digm shift. Thus enabling them to stretch their boundaries and conquer self-limiting beliefs.

Empowered Woman met up with Usha to find out more about what makes her so unique:

EW: Tell our readers who Usha Oliver is

Usha Oliver is first a woman of faith, a mother, a professional and someone who has a passion to help others

reach their potential.

In 2008 I came to a crossroads in my carrier, I was managing private prisons and moved over to working for the training and development and did a talk at the away day, I got fantastic feedback it still did not dawn on me to have this as my business, then I spoke again and I received so many accolades. I was part of the womens issues network at the ministry of Justice and went for a winning womens conference and one of the jet banners had Dare to Dream below its caption I walked out of there and knew the caption could be something I would like to have as my business, the idea was conceived within me. I went to a talk with a company called Partner Potential at the Charing Cross Hotel and the speaker spoke about per-ceptions his name is Kojo Gottfried, and when I walked out of there, there was a paradigm shift within me and I realised my perception of myself was different to peoples perception of me. I began my journal and wrote down my aspirations to be a motivational speaker to influence people with my words. I took my re-dundancy in 2009 and in October 2009, Dare to Dream was born and I have never looked back since, I started networking and began doing a lot of talks for charities, business meetings and training . Dare to Dream is a business where I do inspirational talks, training and development in confidence, public speak-ing and presentation skills among other bespoke course. In June 2012 I formally launched Dare to Dream at the prestigious Hotel Park Plaza in London.

EW: What was the inspiration behind WOW Ministries?

In 2004 I had a powerful encounter with the Lord. I was mar-ried and as things became unbearable I left my ex-husband for more than 5 years and in leaving I was searching for God even though I was always a Christian I did not have a relationship with God.

I was walking my dog and asked God to be the Lord of my life, something powerful happened, the power of God came over me and I began to cry, when I got home I had such a powerful desire to read His word and the next year that was what I did. People commented about the glow on me and asked if I had a man, I could not explain that the glow was an encounter with the Lord. A year into having this powerful encounter with the Lord, I started Women of Worth ministries as I felt that as a woman I can help other women to be whom God wants them to be, The ministry began at home but the fifth anniversary we had to hire a hall to hold more that 300 people as we had men and wom-en and the Lord gave me the name WoW ministries. It has been a powerful journey where many people from different faith came to know the Lord. WoW ministries is Meeting needs changing lives

EW: How does WOW Ministries and Dare to Dream Ltd serve its purpose in the lives of others?

Seeing people tangible change through my programmes, I say I want my words to empower people to reach where they want to be, and call Dare to Dream a runway to success, and it is. Some testimonies blow me away, among others a few ladies heard me speak and something changed in them and the nug-gets, the passion and the words delivered transformed them. WoW and Dare to Dream have synergy, I use the gifts the Lord has given me in WoW and allow the anointing of the Lord in my talks. Invariably I am able to pray prophesy and give words of knowledge and wisdom to the market place and that is what brings me immense joy. I Also believe that WoW and Dare to Dream are inter woven and the Lord equipped me to be a ves-sel to speak life into peoples lives. When I launched Dare to Dream I prayed over the place using Isaiah 61 to bind the broken hearted, the title of the launch was No Limits and there were so many people who felt that they were set free this is what I do. In November I did an event and it was setting cap-

tives free the title of the event was Keys to Success. The purpose of WoW ministries soon to be changed to WoW Foun-dation and Dare to Dream is to meet needs and change lives .

EW: What advice do you have for women who are fed up with their careers and want to embark on something more fulfilling.

I would advise people who want to do what I do, to know who THEY ARE to value themselves, and to be authentic and have integrity in what they say, to have new material and be different in delivery, values and most important to ensure that their character matches their gifting and skills. Passion is another important factor, when youre passionate about what you do then money will not be your driver, the passion will bring in the revenue.. Well thats my policy.

EW: Throughout 2013, EW Newsletter will be communi-cating the message of transformation to empower wom-en to think differently thereby operating differently so that they can see success in areas that have been stag-nant for a long time; how is transformation an important process in ones life development?

I set up Dare to Dream so that I can encourage, empower, build and restore people to regain their purpose and destiny in life. Seeing that happen is so rewarding. I have a genu-ine love for people and those who know me know that all I want is to build not tear down peoples self esteem and help them see themselves as a valued precious and gifted human beings if I can do that then its a job well done. It takes one drop of water to make a mighty ocean one act of kindness, one step is a giant leap for mankind so my simple principle is to do what you are passionate about even if this is not the norm a fish that stops swimming dies , we change, evolve in our thinking and use mentors and the word to be who God wants us to be. I am not the person I was 10 years ago and I thank God for that a new creation all things passed away and all things made new. I want to make a small change and if this leaves an indelible mark for genera-tions to come then I will do what I love. Like the prayer of Francis Assissi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness joy.....

EW: What can women look forward to with WOW Ministries for 2013?

I want to be a voice for the voiceless, to empower men and women to reach their God given destiny and to leave an indelible mark and legacy for the generations to come, through my inspirational talks, in my training and coaching.

My heart is for WoW to be a foundation and help me deliver Gods heartbeat for this ministry which is to meet needs change lives build orphanages, places of refuge and to make people feel valued loved and allow them to reach their God given desti-ny. To be able to preach Gods world in all the earth wherever the Lord leads, and the most important heartbeat of mine is to make Jesus Real. Love the Lord and love one another that is what WoW stands for and He has given me Love for this minis-try. I am so excited and cannot wait to see what God is going to do and you will be kept posted with all the praise reports. Keep me and my business and the ministry in your prayers. Isaiah 61 is my mandate and I will serve the Lord and run the race that is set before me ONLY with HIS grace I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Every year during Christmas, we have another oppor-

tunity to read, hear or watch the nativity story.

We are reminded of how Angel Gabriel visited Mary

to announce the conception of the Messiah by the Holy

Spirit, an awesome gift that is that is a miracle.

At times, I am also reminded of the story with this

song by various artistes :

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

Will calm the storm

With His Hands..........

Reflecting back , I don't think Mary really knew the

magnitude of what she was carrying, the strength of

the promise, until she kissed her son's feet at the cross

of Calvary, yet this promise brought hope, peace and

restoration to so many people's lives.

It was when the angel spoke to Joseph instructing him to

continue with his plans of marriage to Mary that a family

was created; not just any family, but a family with a prom-

ise.

Now let me bring it closer to home.

Ladies, do you know what you're carrying? What promise

that when birthed will continue the work that God started

through His Son Jesus Christ?

K EYS TO SUCCESS FOR WOMEN IN

BUSINESS

BY USHA OLIVER

11

For every women like me who came from a city in India I got

married and through that process lost who I was and my confi-

dence.

14 years ago I began my journey to success, and started to build

my confidence in finding out who I am. This is the key to suc-

cess knowing and finding out who YOU are before you embark

on your business.

For me the journey of finding my faith and confidence merged

and I knew who I am in Christ and through the healing and res-

toration built my journey to success.

People will tell you a lot of things about your personality be true

to that inner voice for me a clear direction from the Lord and

go with that through the opposition that is the first KEY to

success.

The second is to never give up having the right mentors, right

people to applaud and help you grow is crucial for success when

you are stepping out in faith and doing what you know best or

what God put inside of you YOUR purpose on this earth. When

we know that and find that that is a crucial key to success.

Knowing who you are is essential as that will drive you to be the

mentor or influence others integrity should be your portion and

passion your key. I love what I do and I do it because I love it

that is what we need as women to know understand love and keep

at what we do. I am a 51 and a half Indian woman with all odds

against her but I stand 6 tall and tell the world that the world is

my oyster and I will take one step at a time, touching one soul at a

time and enjoy the ride. That is a key to success.

I do a lot of talks and presentation and confidence building cours-

es, I also teach on public speaking, the reason for MY success is I

have and my journey my inspiration the roadblocks, the criticism,

the words spoken over me that I cannot do made me who I am and

I want to sound this out to every women be the best you are

YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made, do the best you can and

then as my mum used to say put up your umbrella and let the

rain of criticism fall down your back. Believe in yourself, surround

yourself with people who love and support you and listen to the

inner voice for me it is the Holy Spirit and never give up.

I dared to dream and that is what I want for every person. Dare to Dream and live your dream I will be rooting for all of you.
