WHY I DEVELOPED THE SUNFLOWER EFFECT COURSES
Shyness was my living pain until I discovered drama at age 22, which enabled me to achieve things in my life that would never have been possible if I hadn’t come out of my introverted hidey-hole. I don’t want anyone to go through what I did.
Sadly, too many quieter people are living disappointing lives and are not achieving what they could. Sadly, the traditional ways of building confidence are failing them because they are not are giving them the tools to transform the limiting behaviour patterns that are keeping them stuck.
A lack of confidence is becoming an increasing problem in the 21st century, which can impact all aspects of health and wellbeing. So, it has been my greatest pleasure to develop these courses and witness the dramatic results that my participants are achieving – even people who believed they were a lost cause.
One of the main reasons that I have been running these courses for 28 years is simply that it is so much fun. This suits my personality. I love to bring joy to people’s lives and to enable them to have fun through expressing themselves through drama. This is particularly people for whom this is an absolutely terrifying idea.
