Pepper de Callier offers enlightenment and wisdom, but above all he encourages, nudges us along, and gets us to a better place. He tells us it is okay to believe in ourselves and, very importantly, he epitomizes the term 'mentor'.

When you collaborate with Pepper or read his books, you will understand why his recommendations are so effective: they are not a product of theory or imagination; they are based on his many years’ of experience. Pepper helps one realize that major changes are possible, but for them to be sustainable they must be based on self-awareness, a desire to grow, and common sense.
