"I came here because I knew it would help me put stories together better and communicate more effectively"

I have a really funny life, but it came from a tough place filled with a lot of anxiety. I’ve had many panic attacks, and whenever I had to go on stage, I always medicated myself with a little bit of something just to numb the anxiety and fear of panicking or losing myself up there. 
I came here because I knew it would help me put stories together better and communicate more effectively. I knew something was missing, but I didn’t know what. What this offered me was a little more structure to get past those barriers. 
The most amazing part of this experience is the transformation in every single person. Every person in that room will walk away changed—whether they changed just a little, or a lot. It’s exactly what they needed. Some may not even know how they’re going to use it yet, while others already have their business plans written out. But everyone has changed, and for the better. 
I’ve met people who will be my best friends forever, and they all came here because they genuinely wanted to shift their lives. You see a lot of people at conferences and workshops who do a lot of “rah-rah” and get a bit of a shift, but it doesn’t stick. They go to the next one hoping it will stick a little better. But this program shifts you so greatly that you're stuck to it, the material, the people—everything. 
Everything about it was perfect. It was the most amazing experience. You totally wear us out physically and emotionally, and we feel like we’ve partied all night—not even with alcohol, just dancing. We’re exhausted, but it’s still the most incredible experience you could imagine. You’re never bored, and the tiredness is such a beautiful kind of tired. 
There are so many ranges of experiences here. The whole week is intended for you to take it with you and continue using it. We’re not holding anything back from you; you’ve got everything you need. If you're ready for something different, it’s there for you. But there was no holding back. 
I just want you to know that this is for the right person. If you’re watching this and thinking about it, it’s time. It’s the right thing to do.

"Several months later, I found myself in Europe, doing a speaking tour for about a month and a half across six cities"

I had a fear of public speaking, probably more than I had admitted to myself. It had a huge impact on me, but what was interesting is that after joining the program with Eric, I realized that my public speaking skills were not up to par for what I needed in my job and what I wanted to do....
