"This group has helped me stay on track and more than anything helped hold me accountable for the goals I set. There’s nothing worse than saying you’re going to do something, and then not doing it. This forces you to stay true to what you commit to and get the work done."

- CHRIS L.

"If I have learned anything from you, it is how to connect the dots. This has made a profound difference, enabled me to focus, and discover the passion to tell my story. It has led to unfoldment in my life that is nothing short of miraculous."  

- SUZANNE L.
