Collaborations

"...i have learned to balance the technical and the emotional..."

I definitely, at this point, feel I am able to balance the technical (logical) side of myself with the emotional 'soft skills'. That goal, although ongoing, was huge for me and I am able to use it and understand people better with utilizing those skills in conversations at work.

"...i am finally excited..."

I am so glad we are doing this; I feel I have really made strides over the last month in reaching my goals. I am finally excited about the next few weeks!

"...you allow me to come to a point on my own and understand myself..."

I feel better at the end of each session. There is always a solid conclusion to move forward into the next week. Shastan is so patient; thank you for allowing me to come to a point on my own and to understand myself.
