“As a female business owner, I have heard many times that women are too emotional, and I have struggled with not allowing my emotions to take over. The “Emotional Air Bag” technique I learned is now my lifeline. It is really that simple. With a tool to keep you from panicking, there is a good chance you can save yourself and others in tough and overwhelming situations. Now, I calm my mind and float in peace … even if it is just for a few seconds to gain composure in the situation.”

“The biggest change has to do with the change in my self-esteem to total acceptance of who I am within myself – and accepting myself with all my flaws. From that time on, I have experienced unshakeable self-worth. When I make a mistake and say something that doesn’t come out the right way, I apologize easily because I have a greater level of self-confidence of my worth and little or no criticism from my old inner critic. I don’t beat myself up more and if I need to apologize, it’s no big deal. I got really clear that you could focus on being right or could build good relationships.

“Completing the Extraordinary Self Program was so beneficial to me in so many ways. As life evolves for me, facing new issues and challenges, I have the program’s reliable tools to help me work through new or unidentified obstacles. The best tool has been now knowing the difference between beliefs and truth – It has been particularly useful as our society appears more polarized and I accept/understand others rapidly.
— Pam Bauman, Assistant Director of Talent Management, Queens Public Library System, Queens, New York
“I love that I can go into the Extraordinary Self Program and use the tools as a refresher. Every day I need to recognize the difference between old beliefs and the truth of who I am. The Program is always there for me as I move through change.
— Lorraine Hartnett, Director of Water Utility, Greenlawn, New York
“Lots stuck with me over these 15 years, particularly my internal Board of Directors and changing the script of my story. I don’t take anything personally anymore and always do my very best. That keeps my esteem high and integrity intact. I learned this all from the Extraordinary Self Program.
— Cindy Doehler, Real Estate Executive, Northport, New York
