The most common myth I've come across in life coaching is that: "it's too late to change my life". Well, this is almost always not true! I have seen some clients and surely, potential clients who 'devote' their lives to someone else. It's often their children, their husband/wife, caring their parents, or simply their jobs [...]
I used to believe that some people are born to be leaders and most people are meant to be followers. At least, that's what I have seen around me and perhaps, in the society as a whole. However, there are two issues with this view. First, it's true that most people are 'followers'. Humans are [...]
I officially launched my online store yesterday! It's a big milestone in my life and I'm proud of it. 3 Years ago, I realised that I truely loved teaching, education and coaching people.

If I ask you: "what business is McDonald's in?" Then, I guess most people will say that McDonald's is in the fast food business; they sell burgers. Well, this is not entirely true. The most interesting thing I learned last year about finance and business was that a company can have a business that builds [...]
