First three weeks Sharing my experience after the first three weeks, as I wanted to highlight the program's ability for generating some great 'a-ha/breakthrough' moments. What Chris and the program are extremely good at is doing great deep work to help uncover what could be holding you back or causing your stress/anxiety/burnout, etc, and then providing you with very actionable tools and strategies to help educate and address. Those two factors have really helped me see things differently and provide the catalyst for those breakthroughs. I feel like I've made more progress, learned more, and had more of those 'lightbulb' moments over the past three weeks than I have over the past three years in trying to do this on my own.

Always striving… As someone who has always been striving for more, I have read lots of books, Steven Covey etc. and took courses for self improvement including an MBA, Critical Thinking etc. None has had such a profound positive effect on my life as Chris' course. The accountability and reflection as well as the group meetings with other guys similar to me really hit home. I was reluctant initially to sign on, but really glad I did. I did not expect to find that is was one of the best investments in myself I could have done. Follow the course along and you will discover the better you, which you have been seeking.

Can Chris really help? Can Chris really help? Absolutely! 15 years ago, my life blew up concurrent with a fantastic motorcycle accident. My world collapsed. My body was broken, health imploded, unexpected divorce, oppressive job demands, suddenly a single Dad, and increasing demands of geriatric parents conscripted over a decade of pure survival. After 15 years of several false-starts and minimal successes, survival-mode made it difficult to reconnect with the confident, smart, swaggering, risk-taking man of my youth. Chris and team led me through an extraordinary journey that brought me closer to restoration in 10 weeks than I had come in the last 15 years. The shift in mindset is my new launchpad to carry me into a world-class finish. Thanks, Chris and Team!

Chris offers something you can't get anywhere else When I was first introduced to Chris - I was definitely in a horrible place in life. Struggling at work, with health and my relationship. Struggle is not new, but being stuck was. I've done other programs, had coaches, read books, been to live events etc. But I would inevitably have some back slides and with COVID quarantine, I hit a whole new set of challenges. I was hesitant at first and not everyone supported my decision, but Chris' insight and conversation from our first conversation told me that he had real experience working with men in my situation. A huge realization of my own growth was recapping my first conversion with Chris an see that I went from 60-70 hours a week yet feeling only 40% was productive to a more normal 45 hours/week at 80% to 100% productivity! Being focused, present, and holding clear prioroties made a world of difference. Something that separated Chris and his program was the focus on identifying, naming, and reprograming the mental habits that hold us back. I've learned things from working with Chris that I have never seen anywhere else. I went from 1 of the worst mental positions of my life, to feeling more incredible, building stronger relationships with my fiancé & family, and working through a whole new set of goals. I would highly recommend working with Chris because you're going to learn some concepts and tools that you just won't see anywhere else.

You've Got Nothing to Complain About...So Why Aren't You Happy I didn't quite understand how bad my state of unliving was until I started the Creating an Empowered Life program. Everything indicated that I "should" be on top of the world...great career, amazing family, lots of "friends", material possessions...but in reality, I was really struggling. When my hobbies were dormant and the music stopped, I was burnt out, unmotivated, lethargic, quick tempered, and utilizing my phone or the television to distract these realities each night in attempting to fall asleep. Fast forward as I am approaching completion, I can honestly say that I've only fallen asleep watching television 2 times in the past 2.5 months. And both mornings afterwards, I've woken up without judgement but in the mindset of acknowledgement and hyperawareness of how I feel mentally, physically, and emotionally. This presence creates a lasting motivation and energy to continue down the paths that I know will best serve me and the ones that I love around me. While this was my primary objective in joining the program, had I known all of the other "wins" I would find along the way, I would've probably paid more! But I am not here to say that everything is perfect and that all my problems are fixed because Chris can hire actors to say that. I am living proof that downturns will still happen and yucky feelings do creep back in, I just know that I don't have to stay there for extended periods of time and that I have the tools to get me back to feeling awesome again. Make the investment in yourself and take your life to it's full potential...the guidance is profound, the progression is well designed, the network is invaluable...you don't have to do it on your own!!
