"I love to learn new things, and I always get excited about new projects I want to work on. Still, I lacked structure, and I seldom was able to finish things I started, that made me very unsatisfied. During these 10 weeks with Jane I have learnt about what was blocking me, and about many strategies I can put in place to get things done that are important to me. Jane course was very well structured, and her enthusiasm is contagious."
