Buna Dahal’s journey: Buna Dahal was a child born blind in Nepal and soon encountered the boundaries of low expectations. A precocious child, Buna at age five, pushed against those boundaries and led her own parents to the doorstep of the Provincial School for the Blind in Dharan. This initiated a personal trajectory that found her in the United States as a scholarship student at the Overbrook School for the Blind International Program at age 18. Buna completed her undergraduate at Columbia College in Chicago and her Masters at the Regis University School of Professional Studies. Along her quest for education, she was invited to deliver a speech at the United Nations in March 2007. DynamicBuna’s impressive personal and professional journey has attracted the national and international media to her courtyard. Buna was the recipient of the 2010 David M. Clarke, S.J. Innovative leadership Award from Regis University. At an early age Buna realized that she had a dream… not just to survive but to live. She had a desire to spread her wings because she knew there is much more in life than just existing.
Buna Dahal has been transforming lives for 25 years. Successful executives have applied her strategies toward personal and professional growth. Fortune 50 mindsets come from discipline, drive, and detachment. Applying self with an open hand and a quiet heart is true leadership. Realize your aspirations today.
