We had the good fortune of connecting with Nollis Dewar and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nollis, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
The habits that have propelled me toward success are rooted in several key practices: hard work, consistency, seeking mentorship, valuing great teachers, and collaborating with a great team. Together, these habits have created a solid framework for my success, turning aspirations into tangible achievements.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Nollis Dewar is a vessel that carries a blend of talent, dedication, resilience, and a commitment to excellence. I take immense pride in the achievements and milestones that have marked my professional journey thus far. I’m particularly proud of the impact I’ve had in my field and the positive influence I’ve been able to have on youth in my community.

Challenges have been constant throughout my career, but I’ve learned to view them as opportunities for growth. Perseverance, adaptability, and a willingness to learn from setbacks have been crucial in overcoming these hurdles. I want the world to know that my journey is defined by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a commitment to making a positive impact.
