Self Introduction
I'd first like you to know a little about me and why I teach. Actually, a Goethe quote says it so well,
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being."
With over 20 years experience as a fully qualified teacher, workshop leader, trainer, mentor teacher, and a member of various associations I usually urge my students:
• free yourself from past limitations,
• find and attain your personal and professional goals, and
• seize opportunities that are available to you.
I simply love to see people grow and develop who they are to become productive, profitable and experience a sense of wholeness.
I see teaching as the way I can help people focus on their life and take action toward the realization of their vision, intentions and desires. I strongly believe that a teacher is students’ personal guide & helps them to
• Discover what they really want.
• Develop a specific plan of action to get there.
• Remove obstacles over which they may trip.
• Resolve their personal problems, if possible
• Integrate balance in their personal and student life.
• Recover from a major event or problem.
• Free them from the limitations of the past.
