Hi there!
I am the author of several websites, books and courses available to specifically help with improving general happiness and self esteem - check out SuperCharge Your Self Esteem In 28 days Or Less if you want to know more (or read on below :-) ).
I believe that our self esteem is subtly and consistently being eroded by the consumer-driven messages that effectively tell us "You are not good enough unless you buy/have/do (insert whatever the advertiser is promoting here)".
We are constantly being compared to others and unconsciously influenced to do the same ourselves.
I find this unacceptable - in fact I wrote an article about the New Age movement perpetuating the very same poor practice (see How You Can Avoid New Age Guilt Sabotaging Your Self Esteem).
I believe who you are - and who I am - is perfectly acceptable as long as we are not deliberately hurting each other. Self improvement and improving personal happiness should always start from a foundation of "there is nothing 'wrong' with you - but there is plenty of scope to unlock your potential and turn it into reality".
Here's a little bit of my reality, so you'll see I've had my own battles with this along the way!
--------------------------||---------------------------
I have had a successful Corporate Management Training andr Consulting business since 1991, teaching these development techniques inside the realm of business.
I have a University Degree in Pure Chemistry from Nottingham University in the UK (which quite frankly, apart from keeping my scientific curiosity alive, was not inrnthe slightest bit as useful as the techniques in "SuperCharge Your Selfr Esteem In 28 Days ... Or Less!").
I am also a:
- NLP Trainer (NeuroLinguistic Programming)
- Master Practitioner of NLP
- Practitioner of NLP
And I love to read ... and read ... and read.
Myrncolleagues tell me that one of my unique skills is to learn about new concepts and quickly digest them, then turn them into practical tools.
Which brings me to a particular point: Many self help 'gurus' can tell you all the 'stuff' to do. In fact they are often full of 'what to do'.
But they have very little practical 'how-to-do-it' application to their concepts and theories.
And that is where I come in!
Not only can I make concepts useful to you, distilling them down into easy to understand practical techniques ... I've used them on myself.
Let me digress for a moment.
I can remember a time living in London, unemployed on welfare benefits.
I was single then, but I had a cat.
I was very depressed ... to the point of inactivity.
I had only £1 in my pocket ... two days until the next welfare check ... no food in the house and a very hungry cat.
An intelligent guy, supposedly capable -- with a University Degree -- and he can't even feed his cat? What would you do?
There comes a time when you hit rock bottom -- maybe you too have known that -- and you make a decision to turn your life around there and then.
Irnhave to say, that this is not the only time this has happened to me,
but I am not going to regale you with all my ups and downs ... just bear with me for a moment longer.
I have been chased by debt collectors for substantial amounts of money , been through a divorce, lost all my real estate TWICE then got it all back again and more ... so along the way I had had plenty of opportunity to learn.
You don't need to spend all your life trying to figure it out like I did --thanks to the internet, people like me can share the secrets of what isrnnow my profession and save you a great deal of time and money.
All the best!
Robert
PS. I fed the cat and subsequently became happily married again. And I've spent the last 21 years of my life in Australia ...
