Reflect and Rise

I feel honoured and humbled to have been invited onto the Reflect and Rise course by Raj Hira. I joined the course in 2023, during a period of significant change in my life. At first, I felt daunted and unsure whether I could commit to a six-month course with strangers. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful pacing of the sessions, and how engaging and thought-provoking the course turned out to be. Raj has a wonderfully compassionate coaching style – she brings a generous dollop of patience and kindness to everything she does. She gently asks the right questions, creating space with no pressure or compulsion to participate – just listen, reflect and learn! Thanks Raj.
