AVision Appreciations

• This was a great course to motivate our clients - women who were initially quiet and unsure of themselves were soon contributing in a positive way. Avril was full of knowledge, passion and enthusiasm. As a worker she has helped me focus on my goals also!

• “What you are doing is providing a platform or blueprint – or foundation – of every life skill situation. In other words, ‘If they ain’t got these fundamental mental, emotional, physical, psychological, social skills in place or intact, then any challenge or obstacle dealing with an institution, with their friends, spouses, family, work, community would prove difficult.”

• “I was able to really think about 'ME' and find out what was stopping me from following my dreams or goals in life. The simple answer is ME! It's a great thing to be inspired which is exactly what AVision has given me – the inspiration I needed!”

• “Before the course as selfish as it sounds, I didn't care if I lived or died” “The Self development techniques & concepts i learnt from the AVision course truly and really practical & have worked when implemented them in my life. Whether it be in school, prison or probation but the advice I was given always seemed to be missing something which I feel is genuine practical motivation from the advisor. The reason the course worked for me is because its realistic and not just idealistic”

• “Taking your course has changed the way i now look at my life and how I make the decisions within, I’d like to thank you for the firstly doing what you do and secondly (again) for the changes in me that have manifested through what you do. I'm on the way to opening one of two business ventures which should be open in the next four month so that should be good.”
