Testimonials

As we offer a range of people oriented services, we get to work with a wide range of clients from all walks of life.

While we may work with large corporations, ultimately it is individuals we deal with.

What we do with you really depends on where you are at, right now.

Some of our work falls into the category of therapy and counselling, which allows the clearing up of limiting beliefs and past trauma. Other work is purely coaching and is future oriented. We find that the focus can shift during an engagement, and being able to provide a flexible approach to how we move forward is the difference that can make the difference.

This is a sample of client comments...

“Rashid has provided and empowered me with a completely new concept of planning and viewing my business. His ability to listen, probe, assess and reassess my direction is like peeling the layers of an onion. In our last session, Rashid and his partner Barbara Sauter removed a blockage, (one that has existed all my life), that had prevented me from planning my future effectively.

Unlike traditional coaches, Rashid does not set homework, focus on goals and then chide me for not achieving them. Working with Rashid, I have realised that I am responsible for myself and my success. Rashid and Barbara are facilitators and champion me on with my quest.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rashid and Barbara as professionals you should at least take the time to meet, as who knows where you may end up.”

"I met Rashid with my partner, whom Rashid had offered to help overcome embarrassment in certain situations. Having significantly helped him to reduce his fear of embarrassment, I put my hand up for some help. I was attending a course, and feeling overwhelmed and stressed at the amount of new information being bombarded at me. Although I have a history of being an exceptional student, I was feeling scared of not getting it all quick enough. (A perfectionist who desperately wanted to work on some personal issues and grow; but was so fearful of making a mistake that my brain was full of worry rather than space to learn). I also had a major issue with risk taking, which manifested itself as a huge knot in my stomach, which would paralyse me.

Within 20 minutes Rashid had taken the HUGE knot out of my stomach and transferred it to my little finger! Wow! Sounds weird but it works! My little finger vibrated all day to remind me that I was taking some risks, but it has NOT ONCE, since that morning, held me back from taking risks. And I have been enjoying making mistakes and really learning and growing ever since then! No knot in my stomach, and no longer reticent to do something I really wanted to do! It's absolute bliss to be able to go and achieve what I've always wanted to do - to be me, to have a go, to play, and more importantly to have permission to not always have to get it right the first time. A feeling of freedom! Of course, this allows me to grow much, much faster because by having a go, I make mistakes and learn!

Thank you Rashid - I coach business people regularly, have a good understanding of attitude and behaviour change, and I've had affirmations about growing by making mistakes and thus learning for the last 5 years, but never really got there. You helped me get there in 20 minutes!

I have continued to share and learn from Rashid. I find him a true Master at his work. He quietly and confidently helps you to achieve your goals. He listens well, and quickly understands your needs. He is exceptionally good at questioning your beliefs and values, and manages to do so in a non-threatening way.

He is an intelligent operator and does not just practice basics in the standard way. Rather, as a true Master, he adapts, flexes, and innovates to create a strategy that will best help you arrive at your destination in the shortest possible time. As all true Masters he does his work quietly and confidently without the need to brag or ask for recognition in return for your growth.

I would urge ANYONE seriously wanting sustained growth, and wanting it NOW! (sound familiar?) - in their business endeavours or personal growth - to invite Rashid to work with them. I know your growth will excite and energise you to move to your next level, as it is doing for me now!

THANK YOU again Rashid!"

"I met Rashid at an NLP training in which he was with a group of people assisting a well-known overseas trainer.

I found Rashid very pleasant and easy to get to know in the first place. At one point he was observing a group of which I was a part, and with penetrating thoughtfulness, gentleness and perceptiveness, he made a comment which enlightened the whole group about what was happening, and which changed my self-perception dramatically for the good.

It was a wonderful moment of insight, an 'aha' experience which has validated my personality and learning style in a wonderful way.

Up until that moment, I think I had always just thought I was dumb. Then I understood I was different in the way I took information in, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Others in the group, one in particular had the same experience, and it just blew her away, as her style of learning is similar to mine."

"After a traumatic event in my business, I suffered reactive depression that sent me off work for 9 months. For the next 4 years, I was counselled by a psychiatrist on a weekly basis, while being on anti-depressant medication.

In terminating the business arrangement with my supplier, I was advised that it would be unlikely and definitely inappropriate for me to work in the industry again, and that according to the definition in DSM IV, I was essentially suffering from a post traumatic stress disorder.

Four years after the event, I met Rashid and we did a two-hour session, and subsequent to that session, the feeling of anxiety, anger and all the other associated emotions including depression have not been experienced.

In the past, if I thought about the events, I would have become quite upset and re-lived the trauma, and would immediately head for my bedroom and go to sleep, sometimes all day. Now, while I can think about the events, it is at a distance, and the emotional attachment has disappeared.

In May 2001, I made a comfortable, conscious decision to return to the industry and have embarked on industry study qualifications to do so.

To date, revisiting all the case studies and exposure to the industry background, laws and functionality, I've experienced no negative emotions. To the contrary, I am enthused about the future, and actively contemplate working in the industry past normal retirement age - 25 years ahead.

I would highly recommend a consultation with Rashid to see what he can do for you."
