TESTIMONIALS
What Participants are Saying
I had the opportunity to experience the coaching involved in the Wonderful Life Project first. I worked with Lee Elliott at the time. He came up with a method of coaching that I have found very helpful. Going through the coaching program with Lee quite possibly has been the most important training I have ever experienced. This program taught me to train myself to think through stressful situations in a logical and effective manner without responding emotionally. The coaching has had a significant impact on me, not only as a leader in the medical setting, but as a mother, a wife, and a friend.
The Wonderful Life Project can be a life changer. Lee Elliott has complied an unbelievable amount of information drawing on several different disciplines – psychology, philosophy, statistical studies, even neuroscience – and boiled it down to a format that is easy to understand and easy to apply to everyday life events. It’s not “counseling” in the traditional sense. I see it more as a class where you can learn skills to enhance your state of being. Lee has really drawn from the best information out there and designed a program that can change a life. It’s certainly changed how I view the world in some pretty fundamental ways.
