To begin, I want to give you a deeper and more personal
perspective on why I do what I do.
I survived
a physically and emotionally abusive childhood that had
long range effects on me as I went through adulthood. Because
of my lack of relationship and communication skills, I was
married and divorced three times. I had three sons, and
lost contact with my first son when his mother took him
away. I
also experienced problems in my relations with supervisors
and coworkers, particularly with my employees while running
my own business.
Although
I did not have a lot of self-esteem, I had a strong desire
and a dream of overcoming these negative experiences, and
therefore I never gave up on me and kept taking
personal development courses. I
finally got in touch with all of the anger I had been carrying
inside and released it. I learned to discover my wants,
express my feelings, tell my truth to others, and eliminate
the fears that had held me back.
As a
result, my oldest son is back in my life, and I have loving and supportive relationships
with all three of my sons. Overall, I have become more successful
in my life, and I now want to share these tools and techniques
with others. If you want to Be more
loved and loving, more successful and prosperous, have relationships
that empower you and a life that is more joyful and fulfilling,
then I am the one you need to work with.
