"When the Hypnotherapist Course came up, I decided to join to refresh some of my old training, and add a new twist to it."

I have a 35 year career as a Risk and Credit Manager in banks in the UAE. Around 10 years ago, I realized I would need to make some changes in my life. It started with three years of courses at Transformations Institute in Dubai, including hypnotherapy and NLP (Richard Bandler).
 When I returned to Canada in 2020, the intention was to be a small business consultant for SME's considering their options. Of course, whatever plans were made in 2020 had to be adapted to the existing conditions. 
 I had been following Mindvalley, and even met Vishen in one of the conferences in Dubai a long time ago. When the Hypnotherapist Course came up, I decided to join to refresh some of my old training, and add a new twist to it. Rightly so, because I learned that scripts are no longer required. And that took some of the certainty and preparation out of the equation.
 I'll be using all of the hypnotherapy and NLP techniques, with consent, to relax and assist my coaching clients to transform their lives.
