The learning journey continues...
I am awake early this Sunday morning to get a few work things done before some very dear friends that we have known for years arrive here for lunch for our annual pre-Christmas 'get-together'.
Little did I know that I would be woken up by just two most wonderful gifts, that have certainly brightened the still dark skies outside. We all know how lovely it is when people say nice things about our work. We are told to ask former clients to comment about our work with them, I am no different, however, I often forget to ask my clients to do this. Yes, shock horror, I do forget, and I know that those of you who teach small business marketing techniques and bestow the virtues of capturing as many testimonials as you can, will be holding their hands high in the air and crying "no, that is not how you are supposed to do it"
So imagine my delight and surprise when I went to my computer this morning to find, not one, but TWO, completely unsolicited testimonials!
The first is from a lady who has just completed her dream, to create an audio book about breathing techniques for asthmatics which will help them control their condition. Here is her lovely email to me...
HI Józefa
The second, is from just the most wonderful, unique and thoroughly amazing British commecial poet, Amy 'I Want A Poem' Catherine.
Here is the short film that she made for me...

HI Józefa
Hope you are well, I know you have not asked for a testimonial from me, but I would like to provide one anyway:-)
Józefa has been instrumental in supporting me in getting my first audio out for public distribution, her support throughout has been professional and she brings with her a depth of experience and knowledge of vocal training and enterprise support. I am truly grateful to Józefa for helping to turn an idea into reality, and for supporting the essential first steps of turning an distant dream of reaching out to many into a real possibility. Thank you Jozefa.

Words cannot describe how wonderful it feels to be appreciated, especially when you work independently as I do and not for a large organisation surrounded by work colleagues affirming your value on a regular basis.
Having a few really meaningful testimonials freely offered are worth more to me than a whole clutch of them that I have asked for along the way. Thank you so much Gurmit and Amy - you have truly made my day :-)
