🌟November's Edgewalker Facilitator Spotlight

Greetings Edgewalkers! I'm Amy Lynn Durham, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to our monthly Edgewalker Facilitator Spotlight. Each month, we come together to shine a spotlight on a remarkable individual within our Edgewalker community, providing us with an opportunity to amplify the Edgewalker skill of "Connecting" - the ability to see and nurture unique connections between people, tasks, and ideas.

Today, we are excited to introduce you to Sal Celly, the Founder of Maximize U, a true Edgewalker whose journey is filled with accomplishments and innovation.

Sal Celly, Founder of Maximize U, is a seasoned leader with over 30 years of high-impact experience in the world of Technology, Sales, and Consulting. With a track record that includes Oracle, Infor, Dell, and more, Sal's expertise lies in identifying, analyzing, and successfully executing market opportunities across diverse industry verticals and organizational stages.

His global journey, both in life and career, has equipped him with a unique perspective and a profound understanding of international markets and business dynamics. As a highly successful entrepreneur and angel investor, Sal has nurtured and mentored leaders across various industries and geographical locations, contributing to their growth and success. His influence extends beyond the boardroom, making him a sought-after speaker and mentor.

Sal's academic achievements are equally impressive. With an MBA from Dalhousie University and graduate studies from Cornell, MIT, and Stanford University, he has embraced learning and innovation at the highest levels. Based in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, Sal brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the world of Edgewalker Coaching and Facilitation.

MaximizeU.life is Sal's brainchild, an AI-powered tech platform designed to unlock human potential and customize the journey of personal growth. This platform empowers individuals to lead more balanced, fulfilling, and happier lives by leveraging the power of technology.

Sal's Edgewalker Outlook:

“I am a firm believer and advocate of continuous change and adapting to life’s varied circumstances, through action, faith, timely execution, and taking calculated risks. As a result, I embrace the Edgewalker philosophy and the valuable contribution Edgewalkers make to their teams, organizations, families, and communities by leading from the front and paving new frontiers of opportunity, growth, and challenge. I regularly volunteer and give back to the community by sharing my time and expertise with others and helping them grow, develop, and transform to being better individuals, leaders, and members of society.”

What worlds do you walk between, and how do you build those bridges?

I walk between the Eastern and Western worlds, having lived and worked in both cultures and regions. There is a fundamental difference in philosophy, mindset, beliefs, values, and perspectives, which can create an interesting mix and concoction. One is not better than the other—just different. I try to incorporate the best of both worlds into my viewpoint and actions and the way I conduct myself.

What is on your leading edge?

My leading edge is enabling individuals and institutions to maximize their potential by leveraging technology and transforming for a balanced, happier, and impactful life. Lead the life you deserve with greater freedom, power, and peace of mind.

What can you sense but not yet see?

I sense the true transformative power of AI and Generative AI and the impact it will have on human lives, societies, business models, and overall ecosystems, and the paradigm shifts it will create and engender.
