School of WHY NOT!

Where you learn to live life beyond no …

When Julie Woods was asked to go cross-country skiing she  politely declined. On the comfort of her couch that night  she thought to herself “hang on a minute Julie, what kind of blind person are you going to make if you turn down opportunities that come your way?

At that moment she decided to turn her no into why not when anyone asked her to do something new. Julie has said WHY NOT so many times she is now a speaker, Author, advocate and coach.

Julie has gone on to set up the School of WHY NOT, where she teaches others to do the same

The school has four flagship programmes:

WHY NOT SPEAKER

R

WHY NOT ADVOCATE

WHY NOT AUTHOR

WHY NOT COACH

Each programme is held in small groups made up of four 90 minute sessions over four weeks. Sessions will be on either ZOOM or audio conferencing. Programmes can also be held one on one or face to face in larger group settings so just tell Julie what you want.

To encourage her students to stop saying no to the things they are afraid of,  Julie quotes Helen Keller, the world’s first Deafblind graduate, “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”

To find out how much the programmes cost, phone or text Julie on 021 913 513 or send her an email to [email protected].

Julie would love to welcome you to the School of WHY NOT!

“Julie, you are gifted at inspiring others! I can’t wait to try out my new automatic answer to questions that start with “do you want to?” with

‘why not’.”
