“The lessons during the Empowerment Seminar will stick with me for years to come. Breaking out of my comfort zone isn’t always easy, which is why I tend to avoid it! However, I found that pushing the boundaries helped me understand what I’m capable of if I set aside my fears. Challenging myself made me feel stronger and more self-confident than ever!”
Charlotte Grainger, Freelance Writer
“I’ve never took part in a session like Duka’s before now, so I didn’t know what to expect. It was an experience like no other and definitely one that helped me challenge my own reservations. Learning how to get outside my own head and tackle difficult obstacles was invaluable and I have no doubt it will help me moving forward within my own life and career. Showing me that by overcoming the day-to-day fears life can bring, will only be beneficial to my productivity, life and happiness. I can’t recommend it highly enough and it’s defiantly something I would pass onto other to try. We all need a bit more ‘Let it be easy!’ in our lives.”
