Introducing myself - Being different can be a blessing or a cure, make of it what you will.

I considers myself “different” and with this I have come to realise that this knowledge can be used to see and feel what people are about. I used this and my PhD in Life Coaching to recognise the areas in people’s lives and performance where they may want some “tweaking”. I come from the perspective “we are all perfect”. The changes that people want to make are about bringing forward hidden talents to tap into some more of that perfection.
With an inquiring mind, one has a tendency to ask many questions. These questions may not have an answer readily available, this is where the inquiring mind together with the “gift of dyslexia” (Yes, I have come to understand that “dyslexia” is a gift that allows me to see problems form many perspectives and so find a solution by combining more than one solution) gives me the perseverance and insight to finding the truth (most correct answers to my questions).

Wireless communication networks

For 30 year I have been in the electronics field, network design and business acumen as a combination makes for a unique problem solver and designer of wireless communication networks. The networks I have worked on are rail radio networks used as backup for the signalling network. The Telkom Wi-Fi hot spot network implemented throughout South Africa. This is a network that is integrated to the mobile network. Other projects range from radio coverage in train tunnels, emergency communication caravans for use at train incidents, three in one radio, communication network between x-ray machines and the x-ray printer, Wi-Fi and Wi-Max networks where the cables cannot be replaced as they tend to disappear overnight.

Combination of Skills and talents.

With a combination of skills and talents I am uniquely suited as project management consultant as I “see” how your projects can be streamlined to make your company and your most important asset (people) more effective and motivated. On the subject of motivation, if people are doing what they love and because they love the feeling they get from what they are doing, motivation from outside is not required because they haveall the motivation they need, the love they feel.

Meanwhile.

While working on wireless communication network implementation during the day I still had a craving for knowledge. It has never been OK with me to be labelled as “broken”. Over the years I searched for answers, looking at every subject under the sun. When I discovered YouTube I plunged in head first and found a wealth of information and alas disinformation. From there it was a journey of finding a way to discern the wheat from the chaff. This showed me once again I have to decide what is useful and what I prefer not to accept as truthful.
I have tapped into my creativity in many different ways, some practical, others not so practical. I have written several books and done illustrations for some of them. I combined the information I gained from years of experience to create a book to show how our physical and non-physical bodies are intrinsically connected and now after all this I have come to realise I am not “broken” just different. Mould – not for me thank you.
I can finally say I am not “broken” I am different with a touch of perfection.
This poem gives you a feeling of how I feel about it ;

Free to be me!

I am free, I am free, I am free to be me.
No matter who you are.

No matter what you think I should be.
I am free to be me.

When it rains and when it shined.
I am free to be me.

Every day and every night I sing my song.
I am free to be me.

When I am happy, when I am sad.
I am free to be me.
