  6. Charika Teillet

    I completed Motivation and Goal Achievement©. It helped me to become authentic with myself and my approach, to get genuinely interested, and ask the tough questions kindly from myself and others and truly attempt to understand life: emotions, feelings and thoughts as a whole, and to become friends with what is not desirable. Hugo’s delivery was very effective and powerful.
