“[I] am in a much calmer, more natural space, particularly at work”

All the exercises have blended together and now work in harmony…am in a much calmer, more natural space, particularly at work…fear is falling away…am more focused, even when extremely busy…CPM gave me tools that will serve me throughout my life…have seen changes in my relationships at work, with family and friends, all resulting in much more fulfilling engagement with more positive results…friends I have made in CPM are some of the closest I have ever made in my life with mutual trust and openness as the foundation…the tools and discipline of CPM set it apart from any other similar philosophy, course or seminar…change absolutely happens if exercises are done with discipline.
