Isn’t it funny how at the end of every year we lament about how fast the year went? Every year it’s the same thing, yet we always seem so surprised. We are funny people.
2016 was the busiest year ever for Your Life, Unlimited. Speaking and travel took up the bulk of my work hours, traveling from California to Florida in the US and Victoria to London in Canada – lots of air miles and road warrior stories were accrued. Luckily I love travel and even the bad experiences are opportunities for growth and learning.
The groups ranged from Club Managers and Auto Groups to Healthcare Professionals of every type. Though their job titles differ, one thing remains constant, we all have the need to be healthier, happier and improve our relationships. We all are gathering tools to live life better and make our world a better place.
As always, it is my privilege and pleasure to share my time and expertise with you.
If you would like your group to have a similar experience in 2017 please email me at Stephanie@YourLifeUnlimited.ca
To see the continuity of evals, you can peek at 2015 here. And if you really want to see even more great feedback, check out 2012, 2013, and 2014!
Best, Steph.
