I learnt at a young age – 20 in fact about the power of a human mind and about mindset and attitude after I was involved in a head on car accident that almost killed me. There were no seat belts in those days! I had to leave university and my life I had planned [...]
Making a difference in the development of people in the world is such an important drive for me and the work that I do. I meet amazing human beings and get inspired by the changes people make in their attitudes and drive for change and a flourishing life. It brings a smile to my face! [...]
