Money. We’ve heard all the sayings: “Money isn’t everything.” “Money can’t buy happiness.” “You can’t take it with you.” We spend an awful lot of time and attention talking about how money doesn’t deserve our time and attention. But at the end of the month . . . the rent is still due. Part of […]

Remember the analogy you used when we started this quest for self actualization? We compared it to a journey. You’ve packed up your tools, assessed your strengths and weakness and gotten to know your traveling companions. Now take your map out and spread it out on the table in front of you. It’s time to […]

As a counselor, I found the insights and strategies to be incredibly valuable. The knowledge and skills have not only deepened my understanding of effective parenting but have also enriched my ability to support other families in navigating the challenges they face.

student in Performance Management: Confronting Poor Performance
Prior to your training, I had success, but felt trapped in a life that was void of meaning and purpose. But this experience changed my life. It brought about a fresh perspective, a view that I had not seen before. That was four years ago. My journal and workbook are still with me all of the time, and I reflect on the goals that have been accomplished since the retreat. My long-term vision remains, clearly in front of me as I continue to create new goals that are congruent with this vision
