Motorola employees share how they´ve embraced Power To Empower

Today, we´re excited to share the next wave of our Power To Empower platform, focused on our employees. At Motorola, we believe our products can empower people to achieve the things they set out to do – and the same goes for our employees.

Late last year, we introduced the first phase of a campaign dedicated to showing millions of people across the globe the power technology has to make a positive impact on their lives and the communities around them, through our Tech With Heart campaign. We shared 12 authentic stories from real Motorola users all around the world on how technology empowers them to pursue their passions, use their voices and achieve their goals.

With this next phase of the campaign, we´re thrilled to share the stories of some of our employees located across the globe and from various parts of our organization:

The employees featured in this phase of our campaign were selected from a global, company-wide video contest where employees submitted videos describing how Motorola technology enables how they live, work, create and grow, what Power to Empower means to them, and their pride in bringing the world Smarter Technology for All.

When I decided to be part of the campaign, I thought about how the smartphone can be this powerful tool that people are constantly using to share and bring this sense of belonging for those that shared the same vision, said Vivian Lemes M Bittar, Senior UX Manager at Motorola & Campaign Participant. The experience of recording, selecting images and remembering good moments was very rewarding and also fun, because there’s no way to be in such a good company and not feel happy about it.

In addition to being featured in the campaign, those selected also received funds to donate to a nonprofit of their choice through the Lenovo Foundation.

Having received submissions from employees all across the globe, we´re so thankful to have such passionate people representing Motorola. To see all the videos from our employee-focused campaign, please visit our YouTube page.

The Power of Design, Meet Lewis Suaton

Lewis Suaton is a fashion designer based out of Paris, France, studying psychology. While some people might think the fashion industry is manipulated by the market, Lewis believes it’s actually people and their daily routines that are influencing the trends coming to the fashion industry.

It’s always been his dream to unite his two passions of psychology and fashion design. With the help of his phone, Lewis scans for present references – everywhere, even in people’s daily routines – to identify and predict what the next trend will be for the industry. “Technology has been helping me in my quest to ‘design the future’,” said Lewis. “It has given me the tools to capture so many images of what I later analyze and use for the concepts I am interested in regarding fashion and my creations.”

In the future, Lewis’ goal is to collaborate with fashion brands to help them understand new trends and use more upcycling. In turn, Lewis hopes to create a more sustainable industry.

The Power of Connection, Meet Daniel Juarez

Based out of Los Angeles, CA, Daniel Juarez loves creating songs and vocal arrangements. But for Daniel, what he loves most is being able to share this passion with others. 

“My dream has always been to form my own vocal band,” said Danile. “Not so long ago, I carried out a deep search for the perfect voices to join me and after meeting Angelo and David, I created Saturday Nights. We are now recording our first songs together and I can’t believe how great this is, even more than I had imagined.”

Daniel and his band are always preparing new original material, sending each other their melodies and looking for inspiration. That’s why technology has played such an important role in Daniel’s journey. He also turns to technology to help him share his music with others, because for Daniel it doesn’t make sense to create music if he’s not sharing it with the world.

The Power of Freedom, Meet Carmen Masllorens

Originally from Argentina, Carmen Maslloren has always been drawn to travel and the nomadic lifestyle. And after meeting her husband on a boat trip in the Peruvian Amazon, the couple decided to buy a van and travel across the Southern continent to Tierra Del Fuego – the end of the world.

Through technology, Carmen discovered that new ways of living are possible. “Thanks to my cell phone, I can continue working as a graphic designer remotely from the van,” said Carmen. “I can create, edit, fulfill deliverables and above all, to be connected with my clients (and my family and friends), from wherever I am. Also, technology helps me with routes and the challenges of nomadic life.”

Carmen believes technology gives us the freedom to stay connected, explore new places, and still become deeply engaged with nature. And having the freedom is what empowers her.

The Power of Knowledge, Meet Gaurav Juyal

Gaurav Juyal is a teacher in a small rural village in the deserts of India. As a child, he never liked the way traditional schooling was structured and always felt there should be more than one way to teach others. That’s why Gaurav had dedicated his career to not only teaching children but understanding and creating different methods of learning to help make school and education a better experience for them.

Gaurav believes he has the power and passion to help generate a better future through education, and he’s using technology to do so. He uses the translator in his phone to communicate with children who speak other dialects. He’s become a mentor for children in school and in their communities and delivers motivational workshops focused on art and creativity. He also uses technology as a way to teach design at the university level and to create a way for the design faculty to better collaborate with professionals from across the globe.

For Gaurav, technology enables him to share his love for learning with the world, and to reach his goal of making education more simple and fun for his students.

The Power of The Sea, Meet Sharon Minkevich

Argentinian Sharon Minkevich is a yoga instructor and owner of her own online yoga institute. On vacation 13 years ago, Sharon fell in love with the Chilean beaches and decided to stay and live by the sea. She learned to enjoy and flow with the waves, which is what got her into yoga in the first place.

Once she started practicing, she felt an instant, intense connection with yoga. So intense, that she wanted to share it with other people. Today, Sharon uses technology to bring her classes virtually to people all around the world. With her smartphone, she’s able to help people to connect with themselves, create consciousness and live in a flexible mind and body.

“Thanks to my smartphone and the connectivity I have with it, I can host my classes and share my message, creating awareness in people from all over the world, sharing the energy of each experience, both in person or virtually, regardless of distances or the differences,” said Sharon when asked about how technology has empowered her to achieve her goals.

For Sharon, the sea introduced her to a new passion and career. With yoga, she’s able to make other people feel that same connection she has with the sea, and giving them that freedom is something truly unique.

The Power of Endurance, meet Kellys Arias

Training for the Olympics isn’t easy, and being a mother and training for the Olympics is even harder. Based in Antioquia, Colombia, Kellys Arias has been athletic her whole life. She set her eyes on becoming an Olympic athlete at a young age, and since then, has never stopped dreaming and working towards that goal. Now, as a mother, her motivation has only increased. With every obstacle she faces, Kellys is inspired to keep pushing forward to show her daughter you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Kellys believes we’re all mind, heart and body – and for her, technology is at the center of creating a balance between the three. She uses her phone to analyze her workouts (mind), to stay closer to her daughter (heart) and to keep up with her training (body). Her phone serves as both a communication tool and personal trainer – inspiring her to be a better version of herself everyday. 

For Kellys, being both a mom and athlete has taught her the power of endurance and how it can empower her daughter to pursue her own dream.

The Power of Strength, Meet Jamie Gane

Jamie Gane is a disabled professional athlete from Hampshire, United Kingdom. Currently ranked number two in the world for Judo within his category and a professional obstacle course racer, Jamie has never let the challenges he’s faced get in the way of his dreams – including a below-knee amputation.

Although Jamie now has several accolades under his belt, when his condition first started, he had little information and resources to rely on. That’s why once Jamie’s story gained attention on social media, he decided to create his own blog where he could share the vital information he did not have access to following his own surgery. Jamie hopes to be an inspiration to other young people trying to overcome similar challenges and believes his blog can serve as a resource for them.

For Jamie, technology has played a huge role in his life. It’s helped him help others and also helped him with his own journey and recognizing his strength both physically and emotionally.

The Power of Rhythm, Meet SuperMike Mosquera

Super Mike Mosquera is a 21-year-old singer, rapper, and composer of his own music, as well as a lyrical writer for other artists too. He’s also a barber. For Super Mike, every moment of his life consists of music. Whether he’s getting ready for work, cutting a client’s hair, or hanging out with friends, he does everything while singing and turns every experience into a song.

That’s why technology has completely changed his life, enabling him to write or record the melodies that appear in his head almost instantly, no matter where he is or what he’s doing. And he never loses a moment of inspiration, because he has all of the tools he needs in the palm of his hand.

When asked about how he felt working with Motorola, Super Mike said, “It was a super special experience for me to be part of such a big and beautiful project by the simple fact that I am a multifunctional person, and to be able to work hand in hand with Motorola to inspire others… I felt super proud and excited.”

For Super Mike, rhythm gives him the power to feel alive and with technology, he’s able to share his music and create magic with the world around him.

The Power of Growth, meet Mitchell McCulloch

Mitchell McCulloch is a self taught organic grower from England. Last year, he closed his catering business and moved from east London to the countryside to pursue his passion for the natural world, ecology and horticulture – specifically involving plants that can feed and heal us. Being a chef, Mitchell knew a lot about food, but not a lot about growing it. After some practice and nearly seven billion YouTube views later, he’s grown his kitchen garden into an impressive all organic permaculture. 

Mitchell uses a lot of tools to grow his food sustainably, but most important to him has been his mobile phone. It helped him learn how to start his organic garden from zero, and create more contacts in the industry. He’s even started teaching others all about growing through his own radio show. 

Mitchell has been around food his whole career, but the power of growing it himself has given him a new purpose.
