About
Hi, I am Venkat (you can also call me Matthew if you prefer). I am available from Monday to Friday and most Saturdays. I am looking forward to meeting you and assisting you. I love people and am very enthusiastic about making life easier, fun-filled and meaningful for others. I have spent most of my life contributing to creating a caring culture within organizations that I was a part of, including humanitarian work in many countries across diverse cultures. I also have personal experience dealing with the emotional challenges that accompany people battling cancer, having helped someone I loved through those difficult times. I am passionate about people and what makes them who they are. I am very interested in the diverse cultural backgrounds that abound in Australia. I love watching Sports and am especially fond of Cricket and Tennis. I am an avid and voracious reader and read books ranging from Philosophy, Psychology, Greco-Roman history and the world of Classical antiquity. I am what I am today through being formed and informed by the sum total of cross-pollination of experiences and my love for people from diverse backgrounds and cultural settings. I am fairly health-conscious and love the outdoors, especially walking. I have an accreditation in Organizational Coaching from Sydney as well as an accreditation in Positive Psychology, University of Pennsylvania apart from a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
