With each course I teach, I strive to impart useful and life-impacting instruction to help my students create a better quality life for themselves and those around them. For example, if I teach "you can live abundantly," then I want to provide tools which help to create financial freedom.
As an Instructor, I teach information my students can grasp and share with others. With these efforts, I abide by the Universal and Spiritual Law of Transcendence which contends that we all should help each other realize our Divine Self and highest potential. Through life experience, I have learned we are all in this together. If there is something I know that can help make life better for someone else, it is my duty to share it with gratitude. For this reason, I am thankful for each student who enrolls in any of my courses and I hope what I teach will change their life for the better.
As a philosopher and coach, I feel it is my duty to understand the reason for human behavior, but also to provide tools and instruction that will eliminate excuses and help to empower the individual who wants to live and be happiness.
Specifically, as I segment some goals for the 2008-2009 term, my specific areas are to provide additional training courses in areas of social entrepreneurship and marketing to serve students who have enrolled in courses related to Wellness Coaching, Holistic Life Coaching, Spiritual Education, and Success Coaching. Many students have expressed an interest in learning more about how to tap into markets available on the Internet. To honor this concern, I will focus on these areas during the Spring/Summer Seasons. Furthermore, I will be expanding on areas Abundance Training and Spiritual Education Courses.
I expect this year (2008-2009 term) to be one of wellness, wealth, and wisdom for all students who enroll.
