Dejan Rasuo

"The most awakening, awareness raising, empowering and cage-rattling 6 months of my life"

It was the most awakening, awareness raising, empowering and cage-rattling 6 months of my life. Dean was pivotal in the experience, guidance and keeping me on the wagon whenever I fell off or wanted to. Key credibility aspect is that Dean speaks from experience, sharing openly and authentically his own path, being vulnerable and open so as to allow the entire group to feel safe and not judged. I am continuing my path with Dean on this personal development journey and feel privileged that he has the will and time to help guide me. Can't wait!

Dean's depth of knowledge and his genuine empathy & authenticity are evident. His unique ability to blend personal experiences with professional expertise creates an environment where learning feels natural and engaging.

"Live a more harmonious, fulfilling, joyous and authentic life"

I believe the greatest exploration anyone can go on is the exploration and discovery of ones authentic self. Until you discover your authentic identity, you are only living in the shadow of who you were meant to be. Dean has been a fantastic coach on this journey of self-discovery. I am most grateful to Dean for his ability to intuitively lead me to uncover deep seated beliefs that held me back and to discover my authentic self. Working with Dean at Courageous Decision has transformed my life. I am eternally grateful to Dean for helping me get in touch with my inner self, to uncover my limiting beliefs, to create a new empowering identity and to live a more harmonious, fulfilling, joyous and authentic life.
