My good friend and guest on our next call will be Jeremy Chance. Founder of Direction Journal in the mid 80's and now a successful Director of a training school known as BodyChance, with campuses in Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan, Jeremy needs no introduction in the Alexander Technique world.
Jeremy trained in England in the late 70's and then went on to train again with Marjorie Barstow.
His love affair with Japan began with meeting his wife Jaldhara in 1987, and continued after marriage in 1999 with the opening of his training school in Tokyo. After many reinventions and years of perseverance in a vastly different culture to where AT originated, Jeremy has now cracked the formula with his BodyChance training model.
Our talk will focus on the keys to success in reaching people who know nothing about your profession, don't understand the language and don't have the social structure to support such a self-empowering learning dimension as the AT work.
Perhaps these skills are needed in any culture?

Finland posted results of thinking outside the box in learning recently. They are doing better on tests compared to other developed countries. This may be the perfect time to start to integrate more of these principles.
Just listened to the Jeremy Chance interview - I couldn't agree more with him - we need to focus on the potentiality offered by what we teach rather than the 'rehab' aspect. This opens up a whole new perspective for us and we need to take the opportunity that is being offered with both hands! Thank you,Jeremy.
