“Settle into The Slow Coach Approach and you will emerge a better person. Judy’s way of discussing
what may seem like familiar topics is different – it’s like being dipped in respect and calm. How she did that without succumbing to fluffiness is beyond me. I particularly like the Ambitious Affirmations in each chapter. What a simple and wonderful device to elevate our intentions and behaviour!”
