Join us in yet another exciting talk with The Happiness Coach to find out why we do what we do and how we can change it.

The Happiness Coach is back with us on a discussion of his first book, The Transformative power of words: How language shapes who we are. A very powerful toolkit required today when we have almost neglected how we speak to ourselves and others, not understanding how communication starts. It is a new skill set in your bag if you have ever wondered how to transform your life. The book can be bought at https://happinesscoach.gumroad.com/l/bnmob.
