People with clear goals in their lives are rare. It is difficult to know what you want to do in several years time, but an even bigger challenge is daring to pursue exactly those dreams. Of my friends, only a handful carry within them that true dedication needed to reach for the dreams of their life. 

One such person is very dear to me and currently engaged in an massive undertaking in the alp-surrounded, multi-national, and ever so lovely Genève. Her work is often beyond my intellectual capacity, although I try to follow as best as I can, and contribute with whatever cents I find. 

For long as I can remember, Lisa has had the dream of pursuing a career at the United Nations. This Monday she took a giant leap towards exactly that goal through an internship at UNAIDS. I'm confident it will be a hugely rewarding experience for her, and it will further reinforce the dream of her life. I, for one, is eagerly looking forward to the outcome of this adventure. 

To get a taste of her determination and dedication, listen to Lisa's talk at TEDxYouth@Göteborg where she speaks about the importance of young leaders and how organisations can foster a culture for young talents. 

In simple terms, it is purely awesome to be a part of Lisa's journey! A journey which has just begun.
