Compose Your Own Freedom
As a music composer committed to help others (and myself) to find the freedom they desire, I often think about the composition of freedom.

Just like a musicalContinue reading “Compose Your Own Freedom”
Why Do I Still Have Unhelpful Beliefs?
When you hear coaches and therapists talk among themselves, the term limiting belief will be inevitably dropped at some point.

Why Taking Control of your Life Matters
One of the main reasons people seek the help of a professional coach, is because they feel they need change in their lives or careers, or feel some dissatisfaction about their lives. Often, they might not know exactly what needs to change. They might not even feel a sense of dissatisfaction per se; they justContinue reading “Why Taking Control of your Life Matters”

His stance was that since any company’s single aim is to make as much profit as possible, they can’t therefore be ethical. In fact, they must be ethics free. This gentleman was wrong.
