What People Say
I think I found out in the courses what I somehow already know. But what changed completely is my confidence that has grown while watching. When I completed the course, I ended up thinking that there is no limit to what I can achieve.
I had a bit of a tough year last year. And totally different year this year, as I finally understood how to get funding for my ideas. And my dream to make a change came true.
It might be an entire change for the work you do. The youth work might be challenging but with the experience that I gained while using Be Smart, I started enjoying my work.
