“I now realize I have the power to shape life as I want it to be”

CPM had a monumental effect on my life…what a privilege to have taken this course and to continue to be able to live this way for the rest of my life…I now realize I have the power to shape life as I want it to be - completely on my terms, uniquely tailored to my purpose and goals…rarely feel stress any more and find each day full of laughter and fortuitous coincidences…gained clarity about my passion and started a new company with another CPM alum who is a dear friend…CPM changed my life…an enormous THANK YOU to Professor Rao for having the wisdom, vision and courage to teach this class.
