At 70, Fadzuli could have chosen a quieter path. Instead, he chose to keep learning.
Having dedicated himself to supporting ex-offenders, recovering addicts, and individuals navigating difficult transitions, Fadzuli discovered an important truth: a good heart alone is not enough to change lives. He used to approach people with what he calls the saviour instinct, the urge to fix, to solve, to rescue. It felt right. But it mostly missed.
Through Para-counselling and Motivational Interviewing, he learned something different. He learned to listen, not just to words, but to what lives behind them. He learned to ask instead of tell. To guide instead of solve. To trust that the best answers come from the person sitting in front of him.
Today, Fadzuli does not see what he does as work. He sees it as service. And at 70, he is still learning, still sharpening his craft, and still showing up, because as he says himself, life never stops teaching.
