I see confidence as a combination of self-awareness and courage.
Confident people go for what they want. They can do some things with ease while understanding other things may require more knowledge and/or more practice.
Independence is the ability to think, act, or do things without the assistance of others. Independence increases self-esteem and provides a true sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Everyone has a right to their own independence, however, it's important to understand that we all depend on others for certain things. Nobody is entirely independent - unless they are living alone in a cave or in the jungle ☺️
We all deserve to enjoy genuine confidence and certain levels of independence regardless of our situation.
I believe just a little more confidence and independence can make a massive difference in living a happy and fulfilled life!
Hi there! My name is Adam, I am 54 years of age, former business coach and digital marketer from the Blue Mountains.
Back in 2018, I was in hospital, feeling blessed and lucky to be alive. The surgical team just told me, if they hadn't operated when they did I wouldn't have survived. My large intestine was in a state of necrosis and had to be removed.
I was in pain and could barely move but it was one of the best moments of my life. I was feeling so grateful for the surgeons. So grateful to be alive. It was at that moment I made a promise to myself... when I get better, I will do something with my life. Something that matters, something that truly makes a difference.
Photos After Surgery
Before the surgery, I wasn't well for several years. My life was way out of balance. I was too concerned with money, success, and business. I was out of alignment with my true nature and something had to change. I wanted to do something more suited to my personality, as well as something rewarding, interesting, and fun.
Working with people who have autism certainly is rewarding, interesting, and fun.
I have a valid clearance to provide support services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), a current Working With Children clearance, First Aid certificates as well as several certifications in Life Coaching and Holistic Health Coaching. I have also completed several relevant courses and training programs provided by NDIS and other disability training organisations.
