equipping you with the skills to take action

Participant Testimonials

First I would like to thank you for taking the time to teach us how to
communicate better. You have been very gracious and patient with us
and the difference in my life has been amazing.
Before I started the course I had trouble communicating with my husband
as we often got our wires crossed and ended up arguing. I also had

some trouble communicating with family and friends often being so busy

thinking about what I was going to say I didn't listen properly to others.

In addition to this I would let people dominate my life in a way that was

not making me feel comfortable. I knew I had some problems such as hating

confrontations and being a people pleaser. I had no idea how to go about

changing but knew I needed to. After hearing you on the radio I knew that

what you were talking about was just what I needed and was determined

to go, even if I went by myself.

I have learnt so much about myself and others. In just a few short weeks

I can see the difference in many areas of my life. I now try to listen properly

make sure I ask questions so I don't assume I know what others are saying.

That was a big mistake I made wth my husband, now I know to make sure I

listen and understand.

I found the role playing extremely helpful too as just talking about ideas is good

but acting them out helps to show us where we go wrong, and is lots of fun.

It was great to know how the other person feels. A great revelation. It is

a good way to make new friends and learn to love yourself and others.

I still am learning and probably will be all my life and still make mistakes

but it is exciting to see the change in others when we communicate in love.

I have seen my family's heart soften and their mood change when I put into

practice what I have learnt.

I would encourage any others who feel they could do with more skills in

communication to do this course and change their lives. I feel more

confident and happy having been shown the pillars of communication.

Eternally grateful thanks Tanya,

love Narelle

What the course meant to me.

When I read the add in the local new paper about a harmony course I had no idea what it was all about but decided to go.

I was in a feel sorry for myself and even angry at my life at that moment in time.

The course gave me the nudge I needed to see I had many ways of dealing with my situation and that it was up to me.

I had learnt a great deal of interpersonal skills and self help courses whilst being employed in the Public Sector of Govt but as I have been out of the work force

For over 6 yrs. I was no longer using all these skills.

I have regained my sense of worth and balance.

I communicate with my husband without the fear of hurting his feeling.

I am taking control of situations I am able to and letting go of the ones I can not.

I try and succeed most times in letting go of the past.

I just feel a great deal better about myself and the lessons given to me in this life.

I enjoyed the sharing with the other members in the group.

And last but not least, Tanya you inspire me to know it’s OK and that I am able to accept and deal with all the challenges in our life’s journey.

Pete and I have made some very positive plans for the New Year.

One of my Tues Appt was at United Synergies for employment and my caseworker Lindsey noticed the change in me, more confident and self esteem.

I look forward to the next group in the New Year and hope I will be able to attend.

Thanking you

Kind regards

Tina
