• What would it feel like to achieve your dreams?
    Dec 28 2022

    In this special episode we talk about the GAA mentoring services and why you should consider employing an independent mentor. Many people give up too easily on achieving their dreams and after completing 300 hours of 1 to 1 mentoring we believe the GAA mentoring services could bring you closer to achieving those dreams at any stage of your career. You don't need to be in the architecture sector too. 

    If you book from now until the end of January 2023 the first 25 people will get 50% off our 6 month mentoring package. Use the coupon code: JANSALE50%OFF and you will gain access to one of the best mentoring programs for construction professionals on the market. 

    We also offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation (no obligation) so that I can understand your individual situation and can assess if I will be able to help you achieve those dreams. To contact me go to https://www.globalarchitectalliance.com/ and book the "Introduction to services" option.
