Programmes
Praxis Customised Programmes
What are you an expert in?
Helping people reach their full potential and the ability to celebrate their lives. At Praxis, I use creative visualisation as a catalyst towards self-discovery.
What is it you are currently thinking about/care about in the world of work?
I would like to see a more caring attitude to children, so that future generations would have a higher self-esteem and compassion to others. This would lead to more harmony in the work place and thus to a more effective workforce and management.
What would you like to see change in organisations?
Work environments that foster valuing the self and others.
What is special about Praxis?
Praxis has a spiritual dimension that adds a missing ingredient to a business environment. It is both peaceful and dynamic.
Why does the programme you teach at Praxis matter in business?
They help people in business to achieve their full potential, therefore increasing the likelihood of organisational success.
How would you describe your teaching style?
Supportive, reflective, experiential and learning centred.
