Achilles Heel
“My
first course Beyond Reasons was awesome and life changing.
Now after Achilles Heel and future classes, I’m on
my way to my extraordinary life! Thank you.”
Maryanne H.

“Achilles
Heel helped me identify how a core issue interferes with
my achieving happiness and success. I am excited to walk
away with tools to help me stay on track and avoid being
derailed by this issue in the future.”

“This
was a very beneficial class to pinpoint what triggers my
extremely defensive behavior within relationships.”
Duane G.

“The
information that I learned while participating in the course
will assist me in my relationship with my wife and child.”

“This
course had great experimental process leading to logical
steps in both thought and emotions. It was life-altering.”
Teri H.

“This
class is for you if you’ve ever thought that there
was some ’secret’ about you, that when unlocked
would help you accomplish your dreams. What a relief to
identify it, develop some management strategies and feel
there’s hope to move past it.”

Beyond
Reasons
“I
went to ‘Does Your Thinking Limit Your Success?,’
and PL&L piqued my interest because I was at a point
where I needed some guidance. When I finished the Beyond
Reasons course I realized that my fear of conflict and criticism
had been holding me back in my marriage and my job. I now
feel that a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders
. . . the possibilities are endless.”
Dea L. M.
Executive Assistant
Mountain View, CA
“I'm
in an interesting process of change. I took the Beyond Reasons
course a couple of weeks ago. I found out that one of my
limiting decisions (the one that said ‘I can't have
everything I want’) was what I was desperately proving
over the course of many years. I am changing that mantra
to a new one—to ’I can have ALL that I want,’
and I'm finding not only more freedom but am getting less
defensive when life really is showing up as good.”
Rachael P.
Photographer
LaMesa, CA
“I
recently attended Beyond Reasons, and I just wanted to share
something that has changed in my life because of this course.
There were lots of things about myself, and why I do what
I do that came out. The biggest ’ah-ha’ was
an understanding of my need to please, where it comes from
and then the truly important understanding that I have no
control over how people respond to my attempts to please.
Now when I do something for someone, I just enjoy how I
feel by the act of giving or doing it. If I do get a response,
I relish it. And If I don’t get a response, my old
self that would be annoyed, frustrated and angry -- now
just acknowledges my annoyance and then lets it go. I focus
and just remember how I felt by giving.”
Laury H.
Weekenders Fashion Consultant

“Beyond
Reasons is probably appropriate for anyone of any age, and
at any point in their lives or career. The younger the better.
I wish I had done this 30 years ago.”

“PL&L
made it very easy and comfortable for me to express myself
both freely and safely--about subjects that were very difficult
for me. Thank you, and I’ll definitely be back (with
my daughter).”

course let me see that there is more than one way to solve
certain situations. It is OK to be friendly and still have
respect. There are many ways to look at things, not just
my way. I feel relief, thank you!”
Tonia S.

Competitive
Edge
“Sometimes
the simpler results are the most satisfying. This workshop
showed me how complicated I make my life. Playing ‘golf’
at Spanish Bay I found that I had many, many, many other
things going on in my head other than having a fun round
of golf. I also found out that I had a lot of ‘undeclared’
competitions with people which is unhealthy. Using the lessons
in the workshop I have had a much ‘simpler’
life and a greater appreciation of the type of thinking
that bring out the best in me and those around me.”
Otto K.
Firmware Engineer Manager
San Diego, CA
“The
course enticed me into my conscious responsibility and awareness
of being 100% dedicated to meeting and exceeding my customers
needs. I immediately implemented the information for a wedding
that took place 2 days after my arrival home. Everything
was so wonderful that the groom gave me an extra $400 tip
on top of what was already included. The bride called the
next day to let me know she’s sending me a thank you
note.”

Conflict
to Resolution
“I
came into this workshop thinking that conflict meant ‘battle’
with someone else. What I came away with were specific tools
to utilize when the feelings come up when I think I’m
being ‘attacked.’ These tools will help me remain
calm and focused. I will clarify what the true facts are,
not go to the default of “of what I think is going
on” which lead me into conflict.”
Meredith H.
Accounts Receivable Management Consultant
San Diego, CA
“I was excited about the insights that surfaced from
the processes in this course. This was very interesting
subject material with many relevant real life applications.
I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested
in ways of assessing the impact of conflicts they experience
in their day-to-day lives.”
Fred B.
Environmental Project Engineer
Corona, CA
“The
class was excellent and created a lot of thought processes
to lead me to something better.”
Glen R. H.
Contractor
San Diego, CA
“Excellent
processes and insights were offered by the facilitators
to help us raise the level of awareness of how our mind
creates conflicts and the resultant difficulties in resolution.
We also learned ways of changing our thinking to prevent
and resolve conflicts effectively, therefore improving our
quality of life.”
Jeffrey E. V.
Senior Staff Scientist
Irvine, CA
“I
am excited to learn about my part in conflict, and how I
create it. The facilitators helped bring to light the thoughts
and actions that come before the conflict I experience.
They made suggestions and gave me ideas of how to deal with
the inner stuff before going to the outer stuff. I want
to go do it!”

had the experience of a lifetime. My first trip to Australia
and the country was so friendly and easy to travel around.
The dive boat was the finest I have ever seen or heard about.
The accommodations and crew were first class! The course,
Core Values, was moving and beneficial to me and my relationship
with my husband. Great insights as to what is deeply important
to the way we live our lives!"
Wendy P.

“Why is it that I had the greatest time and still
end up feeling ‘lousy?’ This workshop brought
to the surface my core values, the rules that I really didn’t
even know I was living by.”
Jagdish D.

“Core
Values really brings home some valuable material for adding
to my personal ‘owner's manual.’ I know I will
be more connected to the choices I make.”
Angie P.

“The
course was so much more than developing a set of personal
rules and values to live by. It gave me the power to commit
to ‘using’ the compass rather than just ‘having’

skill I can create wonderful things in my life and wonderful
things for my family.”
Tony W.

“This
class’s value came in the form of a reminder that
I can keep the door open to what I want. I can choose to
walk through it each day and try on the new things, actions
and words. 'I can grow to like these new things and actually
love them.'”
Angie P.
Golf Pro
Belmont, CA
“This
course revived my sense of who I am and the gifts I have
to offer so I could forgive my past mistakes and look forward
to an extraordinary future. It did that by giving me more
productive ways to look at the way I communicate to others

“I’ve
recently gone through many changes within a short period
of time - the end of a relationship, starting a new job
and moving my residence as well as celebrating a milestone
birthday. This was the perfect class for stopping to reflect
on what results I’ve produced, who I am and who I
want to become, and the life I want to have for myself.”

Shelly E.

“I
had some breakthroughs that I probably would not have had
without this course. Now I can recognize how my mind works
with my emotions and I can manage both better. This has
been productive both for my business, as well as my personal
life. I would definitely recommend this class.”
Linda L.

Benicia, CA
“After
only one session of Mind In Business, my thinking changed!
I saw the difference between hoping for financial success
as a speaker and having a successful speaking business.
By week two I raised my fees 35%, and the next two meeting
planners I spoke with accepted it without question! Additional
income from even one of these clients will more than replace
the tuition for the course. It provided a unique opportunity
to break free of old, limiting beliefs and create a brand
new blueprint for living.”
Karen O'C.

“I was very impressed with the insight, patience and
consideration the trainer showed all of us. The atmosphere

as well."

“.
. . I love the business that I have created, but how wonderful
for me to find out what my original 'real' purpose was and
that now I have the opportunity to create a more viable
'vision' for my business and life! . . . The greatest part
of having this ‘new information,’ is that now
I have the choice and the opportunity to recognize them
when they come up in my business and address the real situations
with more updated and realistic solutions!”
Meredith L. H.

“The
course gave me a very specific focus of how to double my

was worthwhile. Thank you for my new attitude!”
