THE NATURE OF YOU
Many years ago, especially in Indigenous communities, people were in tune with nature. Nature’s harmony and the human happiness were considered one. What happened outside of us, happened within.

Hard work is bad management

BALANCED CENTRED AND CALM – LEADERSHIP ATTITUDES THAT WIN FRIENDS
