Hear From The Graduates

I can write all sorts of descriptive prose but no matter how skillful my literary skills, I am still trying to paint the picture of an experience, something that is difficult to do at best ... and impossible to do at worst.

As the old saying goes, "The proof is in the pudding," so I thought you might find it more informative to hear some of our early graduates talk about what they got from the program. (Unfortunately we only brought the video camera to the 2005 sessions in New Orleans, so we don't have any video testimonials since then.)

You may be struck by what they have to say, but perhaps more important, you should also pick up a sense that they each have just had some profound insights that fundamentally changed the way they look at their businesses ... and their lives.

These shifts did not happen because of something they were taught in the program. Personal break-throughs like this only occur as a result of personal insights that come as a result of suddenly seeing their world through fresh eyes. It is an inside-out process of discovery that happened on their terms and in their time.
