What Is Series
Here you’ll find a list of topics that you have always wanted to know (more) about … but without being served a PhD in return. Tanya Curtis, Senior Behaviour Specialist and Counsellor, answers one question per video, which are short and to the point – but will frequently surprise because they cut through any waffle, avoid complication and present a way forward. From ‘Dealing with regret’ to ‘How can I stop making the same mistake?’, Tanya’s insights and delivery are second to none. Why? Because she lives what she teaches and thus makes everything super practical and simple.
