Testimonials

“You were a joy to have on my team and it's great to see how you have progressed in your life, through your own hard work and willingness to learn. And all without losing your unfailing good humour."

“Quite simply, you were head and shoulders above the other applicants and, I spotted something in you that was quite incredible for somebody so young - you had an amazing ability to understand people and to reach out to them.  I recognised then that you were not the 'average' person and had a gift for helping other people find solutions to problems - best of all, even if you already knew the answer, you knew how to guide them to to help them find their answers. A very uncommon and powerful skill - 'Focused but nurturing' might well capture your style best!  If something I did all those years ago helped move you one inch in the right direction, then your kind words are like treasure and, please do the same for other people - something I suspect you will have no trouble doing. Thanks Emile, and whilst I can wish you 'good luck' ( which I do), I sense your sound judgement is what sets the pace in your life and career. Thanks - from the bottom of my heart. Now do the same for the next person!
