David Rogers Quick Facts
David Rogers is a British Occupational Therapist. He has worked in various mental health settings - acute hospitals, rehabilitation units, community, prison - for over 23 years. Helping people improve their functioning is the core philosophy of Occupational Therapy.
David has long advocated "practical self help" (and woo~woo free personal development). He says "Few of us leave childhood with all the personal tools to equip us to succeed in what ever field we choose. Personal development is about developing skills that help you function better"
Communication (assertiveness, confident speaking), confidence building, problem solving, goal setting, will power, positive thinking, improving concentration, self motivation, body language, appearance, relaxation and stress management are a few skills that David has helped others with. But he is a strong believe that keeping our self esteem high is crucial to achievement and success.
David writes a successful blog - "How to Have Great Self Confidence and Self Esteem." and newsletter.
