What Participants say about WIESD
Because of WIESD, I am being stimulated to think differently
about my business. My energy definitely changed, because I

took decisions that I probably would wait much more to take.

WIESD made me feel more comfortable with myself. And being

the world, I relate to people, I relate to money is changing …

personal level: as an individual and human being. Before I only
thought about business, now WIESD made me think about the
