Hi there.  My name is Tim Wagner and I am from Cape Town in South Africa. 

My teaching area is personal development.  Although my background was in Hospitality for 27 years I have a passion for helping other develop a new mindset about subjects on money, growth, change and life in general.

Why did I join the instructor community.  To learn from those who have been doing this longer than me.

Fun fact.  In 2021 The Wife and I sold our house, donated most of our possessions and for 11 months we have been traveling our beautiful country with out two fur kids.  My family thinks I'm having a midlife crisis.  To me it is a midlife reset!

[FloorWittin283]

Inspiring that you took the step to sell your house and travel!

[Tims_legacy]

At the time it was super scary to loose the security of a home but knowing that adventure is in my sole, I needed to break from the constraints that owning property has.  If not now then when!

[DebraAplis028]

My name is Debra  

I’m in the US

I’m a nurse with a passion to teach others to be confident caregivers. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and I believe with an online platform I can reach so many who wish to be caregivers. 
I’ve started writing course material and joined the instructor challenge to get published and hopes to be featured to get others interested in my course. This is the first time ever launching an online class. 
Thank you for having me. 

[Bella]

Welcome, @DebraAplis028! We hope you enjoy Udemy and the community! 🤗

[Bella]

Welcome aboard @Thad! Nice to meet you!

The Instructor Community is very helpful to get to know other instructors and receiving answers to questions one might have.

Have a great day

Hi Bella,

I am based in London, UK and am v.excited to have just launched my course,

HOW TO HELP YOU TAKE BETTER PORTRAITS

My area is photography, starting with portraiture.

I was introduced to Udemy, by a good friend and IT & marketing professional,

Michelle Hooijmaijers. She might have actually changed my life without knowing!

I am looking forward to engaging with you guys and in the process.

However, I am under no illusions as to

how easy/challenging the process is going to be - wish me luck! 

Thanks Chris
