“If you are going to judge others it is wisest to do so
individually not collectively and on your own direct
experience of them personally. But first - and
throughout - examine yourself closely. Blurred vision
can often occur due to the lens, perspective and
perceptions of the viewer projected onto the object
that it sees. Be wary of taking to the judges seat. Above
all meet at treat yourself and everyone else mindfully,
compassionately with humanity.”

Your Business, The Gift of Inner Success, A Zest for Business

14. About me…
I’m a avid believer in people and their potential, and have not
been proved too wrong yet. My biggest investments in trusting and
just letting people ‘be’ have all paid off—creating young
entrepreneurs, solid corporate executives and just unique
individuals in their own right. Trust and patience with people comes
easy to me.
My talent solutions company is trying to work at creative yet
practical people, team and organizational development solutions
for organizations, mostly tuned towards the new world with
continuously evolving features of how people interact, learn and
use skills and knowledge.
Coaching, consulting, history, reading and music are all close and
enthralling activities for me. I mentor a few young
companies/teams and enjoy the energy and the astoundingly
grounded thought process youth brings.
