Tai Chi & Qi Gong Specialist | Curriculum Development, Book Reviewer

Tai Chi & Qi Gong Specialist | Curriculum Development, Manuscript Review & Research-Informed Content **Traditional depth. Clear instruction. Evidence-informed communication.** I help publishers, wellness platforms and digital learning businesses develop Tai Chi and Qi Gong content that communicates the depth of traditional practice to Western audiences. Tai Chi is often presented as a series of gentle movements, with little explanation of the principles, terminology, internal practices or cultural context behind the art. My work helps bridge that gap. Drawing on years of martial arts and internal arts practice, I combine practical knowledge of traditional methods with clear communication, curriculum development and careful engagement with published scientific research. I understand that Western audiences often want evidence before taking unfamiliar practices seriously. Where scientific research is cited, I pay attention to what the studies actually demonstrate and how their findings are communicated. **How I can help:** - **Manuscript review:** Specialist feedback on Tai Chi and Qi Gong books, including technical content, terminology, philosophy and clarity. - **Curriculum development:** Design structured instructional programmes from the ground up, with coherent progression and clear learning objectives. - **Research-informed content review:** Assess scientific references and whether claims about health and wellbeing are supported by the cited evidence. - **Instructional content development:** Help turn complex traditional concepts into accessible, accurate teaching material for books, videos and digital platforms. - **Technical content quality assurance:** Identify gaps, inconsistencies and oversimplifications before content reaches your audience. I have completed paid manuscript-review and instructional programme projects for clients. My previous work has been praised for its practical knowledge, Chinese perspective, philosophical understanding and constructive feedback. I'm particularly interested in working with clients who want to communicate traditional practices responsibly without reducing them to generic wellness content. Recruitment Sales Performance, Call Analysis & Workflow Automation Better conversations. Smarter workflows. Stronger recruitment teams I help recruitment businesses improve sales performance by combining 20 years of recruitment and sales experience with behavioural insight, call analysis and practical workflow automation. Most sales training focuses on scripts and techniques. I focus on understanding the person on the other side of the conversation: their motivations, concerns, commercial priorities and decision-making process. My approach combines **empathic selling, structured call analysis and operational efficiency** to help recruiters build trust, ask better questions, identify missed opportunities and move commercial conversations forward without sounding like scripted salespeople. I also design automated workflows that reduce repetitive administration and turn effective working practices into consistent, repeatable processes. **How I can help:** - **Sales call analysis:** Identify strengths, missed opportunities, questioning patterns, objection handling and actionable coaching points. - **Empathic sales coaching:** Develop consultative selling skills that build trust while maintaining commercial focus. - **Recruitment workflow automation:** Identify bottlenecks and automate repetitive processes using your existing systems where practical. - **Sales process improvement:** Turn individual best practices into repeatable workflows, coaching frameworks and standard operating procedures. I bring a practitioner's perspective: I understand recruitment, the commercial pressures recruiters face and the realities of implementing changes within a working team. Whether you need an independent review of your sales calls, a more effective coaching framework or help streamlining your recruitment operations, I focus on practical improvements rather than generic advice.
