As I create these notes, I must first explain that being an “explorer and adventurer” goes far beyond seeing many unfamiliar lands and different cultures. Seniye Groff has indeed done these things. However, she also has learned how to look within herself and accept difference. She also has learned that she can move out of her regular and normal comfort zones when necessary. Of course, going out of the familiar does cause discomfort for Seniye, but she can still do it. I think you will be fascinated by some of the adventures she has faced both physically and mentally. Seniye’s basic philosophy is not to say “no”, but rather to say “yes”. She readily admits that saying “yes” can lead to challenges as you will see during our time together. However, Seniye will tell you that the ultimate rewards for saying “yes” go far beyond what would have happened in her life if she had taken a different path. I hope you enjoy Seniye’s and my conversation as much as I. About the Guest: Seniye has never been interested in the word, “no” and because of this, she has been able to move in many circles. Seniye grew up moving a lot which inspired the wanderlust that stays with her today. She lived in the Middle East, Central America, the Caribbean and throughout the United States. She loves change and can pretty much find talking points with just about anyone that she meets. Seniye has a natural curiosity, an insane passion to make a difference and is not afraid to speak her mind. She currently takes on freelance projects in human resources, diversity, equity and inclusion, training, management coaching and organizational development initiatives. She has authored articles and spoken at national conferences on best practices for all things related to helping people succeed. Seniye believes that the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
