Nico Simpson
Nico uses his artistic skills and conceptual thinking to develop people’s ideas and to create and illustrate presentations. He studied at Stellenbosch University and has a doctoral degree in the field of adult education. He has written, co-written, illustrated and/or developed numerous courses and books. He does pottery and paintings in his free time. I am a concept artist and educator who creates safe spaces for people to grow and play, listen and care and believe in each other.
As teacher I believe in the inherent potential and gifts of all people and try to help them grow into their full potential. I like to do bridge building between different generations. I teach people to have a backward-forward vision and repackage old truths for the future."

Elsa Simpson
I see myself as an ordinary person helping ordinary people embracing their extra-ordinariness. Since I can remember, I was intrigued by other people’s stories. I never doubted that I would follow a career "listening to other people’s stories". I studied social work, specialised in medical and psychiatrist social work and worked in different hospitals. I also completed my Master's Degree in Supervision and Management. I had a long career in the Industrial Field doing counselling (EAPs - employee assistance programmes) and facilitating workshops on personal growth and development.
