15.01.2022 SOME DAYS ARE KINDA SPECIAL Well today for Champions Life Skills CEO it was exactly that. Sam spent the day with Eric on the Central Coast. Morning at Terrigal where as Sam said we couldn’t walk 20 paces without someone saying Gday to Eric. It was like walking in the shadows of a celebrity. ... Orange picking in Dooralong before lunch. What was even more special is how Eric told Sam he wants to make a difference with special needs in the community getting paid work like Eric does with NSW area health in administration. Another special part of the day was making a video with Eric on the incredible achievements that the NDIS has made in the lives of many. Of course not without its complications for families to navigate . Stay tuned for our video. Also said it was like spending the day with a mate & not a service provider. Welcome aboard Eric, can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.
