Personal philosophy


“You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make.” by Wayne Dyer
I believe in taking ownership in making any change journey and in going through the journey, support and encouragement
are important to drive a real change effort towards success. I have had the benefit of the support from my family and friends
during the change journey. Similarly, I am keen to provide support to those who wish to embark on such a journey.
