        Working together with John was an extremely powerful experience. We spend a lot of time thinking about the strategy and goals in our work life, but why not in our personal life? Our time together helped me define what was important to me and he provided me with the structure and tools to help me take steps towards it.

I really liked the combination of micro-practices, personal stories, breakout sessions, and authentic group debriefs. John's calm and joyful style of facilitating has has felt really great and perfect for such a training program.

        John packs a lot of great stuff in this course and distills the best of many areas (personality analysis, values, motivation, productivity, etc) to provide the tools to know oneself better, find purpose & meaning, and ultimately make the appropriate life decisions to focus on your true goals. You do have to commit some time, but it's well worth it!

        Great course! John has a great energy that is contagious and brings a positive impact to people's lives. After just 2 weeks of the training, I feel better and more content in life, have more clarity around who I am and around what my purpose is. All in all, the course helped to build a solid foundation for a more conscious and purposeful life.
