What people say about their Extraordinary Self Experience

“I highly recommend this program to anyone who is committed to go forward and realize the needs they have in their lives. Diane has created an extraordinary, comprehensive program that provides many tools for me to use to shift internally, and practical tools to produce the realization of any goal. During eight sessions, I lost weight, completely uncluttered my bedroom, generated new business and became more accountable on every level for producing desired results in my life. Thanks so much.”

Barbara Frankel, Executive Coach

"I am more self-confident, calmer and happier in the face of all this stress. I am more actualized.

Michele Himberger, Senior VP of Citibank

“Prior to starting the Extraordinary Self Program, I was very unfocused – scrambling to find a purpose and direction.   I wanted to help everyone but myself. I was not self-confident and was intimidated by authority – causing undue stress and unhappiness. After going through the class, I find that I am more focused – able to accomplish daily tasks by writing down daily goals and not avoiding confrontational situations. Instead, I am objectively looking at each situation to turn it positive. By accomplishing action plans and achieving small goals, one step at a time, I feel more confident, less stressed and it’s a lot easier to face the day and any challenges that arise.”

Wendy Doerzbacher, Mortgage Broker

I came into this program looking for a way to make some changes in my business life. Little did I realize the journey of the next eight weeks. I began to see that by seeing things and doing things different in myself, I would impact my whole world. My areas of realization seemed to focus on dealing with my inner judge, learning to say no, understanding it was okay to take 100% responsibility and not 150%. Each week, I found myself recalling little tidbits and ideas that helped me. I began to take control of my schedule by saying no. I felt less pressure and more success in organizing myself. I began to accomplish goals – and that big need to find a new direction got replaced by enjoying going through the journey of making my life a little different. I feel comfortable and confident – and excited by the new avenues for me as a result of my experiences. Thank you!

Susan Brown, S. Lee Wright Ltd. 

”I enrolled in this program to take my business to the next level by focusing on marketing rather than the day to day minutia of running a financial planning practice.   The results so far have been beyond my expectations.  Since beginning this program, I have quieted the internal judge or critic. I am using the Judge and other internal parts as aids rather than irritants. I am more productive in business and more focused.  I knew I was different about three weeks into the program when I noticed a quieting of my internal self-talk. I can get things done faster now and I am more decisive. The inner dialogue is more supportive. I am more courageous in asking for business. The bonus is that I am also having a better relationship with my husband. I am better able to see things from his perspective and he seems calmer. I am now confidently growing my business to the extraordinary business that I’m proud of and strengthening my marriage.”
Melody Graham, JD, Associate Financial Advisor, Abney & Associates

Full Report from Recent Extraordinary Self Graduate

"Within two weeks of beginning the Extraordinary Self Program I had my first breakthrough: saying "no" to something I did not want to do. This was a breakthrough for me because I usually go along with whatever anyone else suggests. Much more was in store for me during the program, though! Of primary importance for me were the personal breakthroughs. I have the experience of peace, being present, and being satisfied almost constantly now. When I am not feeling those things, I now have the tools to recognize they are not present, and to immediately have them return. I feel a deeper connection with my 18-month-old son and my partner than before beginning the program.

On a professional level, I am now doing what I want to do instead of what I think I should be doing or what I think others expect me to do. What a feeling of freedom that provides! My productivity has increased about 70% from what it was six months ago. (How did I ever keep my job before this program?) Better yet: my stress level seems to have decreased by 95% and I have fun at work. (That's pretty amazing for a divorce attorney.) I notice that I am more focused at work and do not allow myself to get distracted by things that used to impact my productivity like making other people wrong, sharing my opinions about my cases with co-workers, and complaining about things over which I had little or no control.

One situation that was entirely turned around by the tools taught in this program was when I was trying to resolve an issue in one of my cases. I was speaking to the other attorney on the telephone and the conversation was rapidly devolving into an argument. I was stressed, frustrated, and angry. Clearly I was right, he was a jerk, and he was wrong. I noticed that I was so angry with him that I could not understand what he was saying to me, so I just stopped for a moment, put myself in his position, and asked him to repeat what he had said to me. I asked myself what it would take for us to both leave the conversation with respect for one another and the issue resolved. It took me a bit, but eventually I understood that I was missing information that he had, and that is what was causing the issue.  Once I got my reactions out of the way, I could hear what he was saying to me and the problem was resolved pretty quickly.

I am currently working on projects for my firm that will expand our practice and I am excited about what I will take on after that. I haven't chosen what's next for me, but I know that I will choose something that inspires me and something that I want to do."
