practising empathy in emotional situations…tough

Posted on 23/01/2017 by Midja

In this video I talk about what I learnt at a recent lunch with a group of girlfriends. I walked away with greater understanding and empathy – what a gift!!

the key to goal setting

Posted on 02/01/2017 by Midja

In this video I share the key to successful goal setting. I believe that if you connect your goals with your personal values, you will have the drive, determination and motivation to succeed.

Success!
