Testimonial
"I just wanted to thank you again for the wealth of info you gave Rah and I the last couple of days. I can hands over heart say that that was the best course I’ve ever attended, and for a course freak like myself that speaks in volumes.
It wasn’t just the content but it was the delivery and how you took the class for the two days. I saw so many people who would usually feel uncomfortable speaking in front of others come out of their shell and gain more and more confidence. It was really inspiring.
One thing that hit the most was the video you shared about the jar of golf balls. I’ve spent a lot of time the last year and a half focusing on work, I’ve given way too much time and energy… when it’s really just a pebble. So today when I usually would stay behind at work and fluff around finding unnecessary jobs I instead took my daughter and mum to go see my grandparents. I also now have a new ornament for my desk.
Thank you again not just for the new skills but really making an impact on my life and my future with my family."
