Your Inner Qualities: Coaching Questions on True Inner Power

The image prominently features a luxurious and ornate armchair, crafted from rich brown leather with a deep tufted design on the backrest. The chair's arms and legs are adorned with intricate carvings, enhancing its regal and antique appearance. The leather itself is a vibrant, polished chestnut colour, indicating well-maintained quality and a stately presence. The chair sits against a plain, light-coloured background that accentuates its detailed craftsmanship and stately design. Above the chair, there is a Sudanese proverb: "A large chair does not make a king."

The quote of the day is:

“A large chair does not make a king.” (Sudanese Proverb)
