"I wanted to share my love of languages and my brand's emphasis on forging strong international relationships. I additionally wanted to incorporate the letters WPGC – the initials of my first entrepreneurial project from childhood – into this venture as a source of inspiration. The letters are also a reminder to trust my instincts and to maintain the values under which I was raised. The eventual name, Weilian Poder Global Consulting (Weilian is Chinese for William and Poder is Spanish for power) accomplished these goals, as the idea of Will Power perfectly describes my personality, aptitude, and persistence in accomplishing things with success."
