Naomi
Naomi Isaacs was born in London shortly before the end of WW2. “I feel that I have lived several lives, each with its own special passion:- First Life: - Growing up in postwar London with a shellshocked German Mother (ballet dancer) and an emotionally absent Father (pianist), my passion was „calling people’s bluff“. The values of the adult World didn’t make much sense to me at the time – still doesn’t sometimes. Second Life: - Studying and Teaching School (teenagers). Loved teaching, hated school. My passion? Encouraging neglected teenage girls to make choices about the way they wanted to live; to take their lives into their own hands and create their own future. Third Life: - Marriage and relocation to Munich. Learning German and „how the real World functions“. Became a good typist and „the perfect wife“. My passion during this phase? Housekeeping, entertaining guests, my vegetable garden, our three cats, „getting „it“ right“! Interesting phase. Learnt a lot! Sixth Life: - Now, way past retiring age, I feel I am only just beginning. My pupils and coachees range from people who believe they can’t sing to experienced singers, actors, business executives and all who wish to enhance their charisma and maximize their communications skills, whether for professional or private reasons.”
