Live Your Dream party in Seoul

On January 14th, 2016, Give One Dream had its first event outside of the U.S., in Seoul, Korea!

In just few days of announcing the event, we had over 400 people RSVP, and we sold out in 3 days before we even had a chance to announce the speakers!  We are so grateful for your enthusiasm and support!  The evening started out with three amazing and inspirational speakers who shared their stories on how they pursued and achieved their dreams, and what they learned during their journey.  Then, people got to be their future selves living their dream at the "Live Your Dream" party!  Thank you for celebrating our first international event with us! We can't wait to return to Seoul with another event!

Give One Dream: Afternoon Tea with Celina on September 14th

Many of you have asked me if there is an English version of my book and while it's only available in Korean for now, I'd like to invite a small group of you to my place on September 14th, and I'll share with you (in English!) what my book was about, how and why I wrote it, what I learned from the people I have interviewed, and the answer to the question I get the most- "What are the common characteristics of the successful people?"

You'll also hear about some crazy things I did to try to meet these busy and famous people (I got more rejections while trying to write this book than I have in my whole life!), how I turned "NO" into YES(!)", and the creative (and crazy) ways I approached and persuaded people to join in my vision. Not only did they eventually meet with me, not once but many times, but they also became my friends, mentors, and the greatest supporters of my vision! :) I'll share with you the behind story of how my childhood dream- to have a book with my name on it- came to life, and what I learned during this journey.After the talk, you'll also have time to write your own dream chapter (called the "10th chapter" in my book) that have inspired the birth of Give One Dream. I'll share with you some tips and advice on how you can find your passion and pursue your dream. You can also ask me any questions you have. Many of you asked me for advice on writing and publishing, and I'll be happy to share with you what I have learned.

We will serve a beautiful variety of tea that I brought home while traveling in different parts of the world (did I tell you I'm passionate about tea and traveling? :)) with an assortment of healthy baked cookies, finger sandwiches, scones, and sweets.

Of course, you can also give a gift of inspiration and encouragement by purchasing Pay Forward Tickets and join our group of wonderful sponsors! :)

Anyone is welcome but space is limited so please make sure to register early if you want to join me! Of course you are welcome to join us if you read my book too!

My place is in Chelsea and the exact address will be provided to those who are attending.

See you on September 14th! :)

Give One Dream – Mentor Series Author Kyung-sook Shin

The first step for Give One Dream is the Mentor Series where you will get a chance to meet in person and hear from inspiring people about their journey to living their dreams (a live version of my book)— how they found their passion, stayed true to their vision despite inevitable struggles and difficulties, and got the courage to get up and try again after many failures.

Opening the Mentor Series is the writer, Kyung-sook Shin (신경숙 작가님), one of the most respected, famous and loved writers from Korea. Celina Lee, the founder of Give One Dream, will interview Kyung-sook Shin, and you can hear about how Ms. Shin achieved her dream of becoming a writer as well as how Ms. Shin became Celina’s mentor, and how Ms. Shin helped to make Celina’s dream come true. The talk session will be followed by reception and party at a beautiful place.  

Date: June 24, 2014 7PM
