Jane Sinclair

I was teaching at that time and had become increasingly aware of the impact of fear on learning progression and decided to contact Dr Jeffers directly, to request permission to incorporate ‘Feel the Fear’ techniques in a more formalised way in my teaching. Dr Jeffers agreed to grant me a licence to train others in the techniques but she also threw me a curveball - she suggested I train as a Life Coach.

One year later and I had trained with the Coaches Training Institute.

Roslyn Saunders

Roslyn is a co-dependencey recovery coach who has first hand experience of dealing with addiction, in herself, her children, and her family. Having faced the legacy of her primary family’s debilitating addictions, Roslyn was then challenged with the drug and alcohol addictions which emerged in her now adult children.

What Roslyn will now tell you is her deep gratitude for this experience, which afforded her the insights and wisdom to address co-dependency behaviour in herself. As a result of this lifetime’s experience, Roslyn has developed a thorough ‘daily deliberate action plan’ and with a program and network of support, she has navigated the tricky road to recovery. Now with the benefit of a lifetime’s experience, she is now inspiring greatness in others who are navigating a pathway to recovery.
