30-Day Peak Performance Intensive - More Testimonials

"It has been a remarkable road we have journeyed on this month. I found that my harshness has smoothed out quite a bit; my vitality has soared; I don't get caught in my moods as readily as before; and I love being in my senses and not so much in my emotions.

I am far more productive. I have had a ball. It has not been easy. There were times when I came close to packing my bags to leave town; times when I was close to ripping Mick's eyes out (not literally) I was so mad. And times when I was in such bliss and alignment. And all so worth it.

One of the neat things was when our team was in synchronicity, incredible 'out of the blue' happened. People would call when we were just thinking about them; pieces would suddenly fall in place for our projects. I love to develop and be on teams that synch like this. Incredible!"

"Expressing how different I am now to the person I was before I sat through my first self-actualisation class in March 2004 is an exciting project. I remember how vulnerable I was, how insecure, fragile and self-conscious I was. How sadness had turned into depression affecting my ability to act normally, in constant fear and distrust.

I have since attended my first 30 day seminar in August 2004 and have yet to figure out how to be put back together! I am now getting used to my new 'operating system' and sometimes watch myself with a smile as I use the coaching techniques I learnt and developed since the first SA class I took. There is nothing in common between the two Anne-Elise's pre and post SA classes! Nothing at all!!

I am already registered for this year's 30-day and am so amazed by the results that I decided to invite my 9-year-old son along this year!"

Anne-Elise Nichols

"I am 12 years old and was the second youngest participant in the 30-day training. The thing that changed most for me was when I go into my attitudes [moods that were not productive]. I could see that I was in the attitude and could snap right out of it instead of staying in it and throwing a temper tantrum. In February [two months prior to the 30-day] I was playing a championship basketball game and in the third quarter I copped an attitude and went to the top of the bleachers and just sat and let my team and my coach down. We lost the game. I let my attitude control me. My Mom then pulled me out of school and put me in the 30-day training. I learned how to see my attitudes in the 'Shadow World' and come right out."

Sam Dubel

"Wow! I don't think there is enough room here to list all the benefits I got out of the 30-day. First and foremost, I have a much more passionate, loving and alive marriage. My family is much more cohesive and inclusive. I have been able to utilize Nicole's parenting tools everyday in a much more effective way to help bring out my kid's aliveness. Being in the training with my son, Sam, was a thrill, especially watching him emerge in all his brilliance. A new career came to me 'out-of-the-blue' that is exactly right for me. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of a team and seeing it grow to an efficient and effective unit. The biggest, best and most wonderful result was seeing how 'I quit,' something I had learned quite well. I have created a fun and challenging game for me - 'Quit quitting.'"

Sally Dubel

"I think the most positive aspect of the 30-day involves a vision I have of doing work I was all too frightened to even consider. I acquired the ability to combat those same fears as they come up now. The training does not make life suddenly into a blissful experience, but it does provide tools to acknowledge the harshness of it all and how to combat those times of self-doubt and self-undermining. I find I am more confident, more enthused about the possibilities.

I have learned about teamwork, working as a cohesive unit in my home life with my children. My children and I are working on our day-to- day activities with a new found intention to get along and have fun, coupled with discipline and a real sense of love and compassion.

I find that I do not take things so personally anymore. I can hear criticism from others and just listen, not think it is all about me. Sometimes I don't even listen, I just get up and leave -
something also quite new for me!

I have found in my personal intimate relationships with women that I am more inclined to speak the truth, even though I am thinking that will send them away. I would rather be alone than live in a
relationship based on fear and irrational need.

It is not easy; it doesn't always feel good to step out on a plank,
but I have found it has elicited responses in a positive way."

"Coming back to reality has its toll, and it is wonderful.
My house looks gorgeous, my husband looks very handsome, my competitors are now in cooperation, I'm still trying to
understand how can they all have changed so much!

I have been getting up at 6:00 am to run and exercise everyday, there is only one thing I am afraid of and it is to stop! So I wake up in the middle of the night to check the alarm and make sure 6:00 is coming. Gary has been up with me Wednesday and today and we have run up the hills down the hills, and so forth. I'm still doing fifty sit-ups."

Diana Rittinger

"My life began to shift when I took my first Healing Through Humor [former name of Self-Actualization] with Mick last May, and changed drastically after participating in the 30-day Peak Performance Training.

Reflecting back on the past year, I can see how much more productive I have become, and how much more of what I want I am getting now. I have gone from being a public school teacher who delighted in her students, but resented the system I was a part of, to teaching in a school that I co-founded and am constantly a part of developing the system for. I am now building my dream, not waiting for it to happen to me, and can implement my ideas on a daily basis.

I am working on a book, and spend my time in service to others, rather than frustrated with others. I think this has come with using so much more of my intelligence... demanding that I give all of it to my project.

I am in a constant state of satisfaction with the moment, and spend much more time in pleasure than I ever allowed myself to have before. In fact, when I look at it, I am much more of who I really am since the training. I am more outrageous, and attract friends that value and cherish my wild soul. I can't remember the last time I spent time thinking about what other people think - a true freedom for me. Instead, my thoughts are on school, my dreams, and how to get there.

I have finally emerged as the person I really am: focused, ambitious, outrageous, powerful and fun-loving. Focused entirely on my game and my vitality, I attracted a quality, generous man of the same spirit. Someone who lives each day as if his life depends on it, and wants and works for an absolutely magnificent life. Because of the confidence that comes with knowing yourself, and the ability to see what I want and go for it, I married Christos 17 days after our first date. This was a brilliant move that I never would have had the courage to make living my other life. And now I am blessed with a partner to build a huge life with - a life as big as we can imagine.

I don't think your trainings made me who I am now. You just opened the door so I can see and be who I really am. The constant accountability to my mood, attitudes and emotions have given me tools for seeing my own games and how I was standing in the way of my own true genius by waiting for prince charming, hoping I would get a chance one day to live my dreams, and by stuffing my anger and hurt.

Allowing myself to be angry, vent it, and have it be perfectly OK has been a huge relief to my system, and allows me to be much cleaner in my interactions with people. And loving my power and intensity, rather than shying away from it, came directly out of the month long.

So, please accept my gratitude for your perseverance in sharing this technology. Your training and coaching have dramatically changed my life for the better."

Tamara Sheesley

"I know much better when I'm right there in the moment, on my dream, in my function. I can bring that awareness to tasks that don't 'light me up' and refocus on them as necessary steps to my dream. You need a format that will exhaust your mind, let it drain, and let your spirit get used to leading your life (we all need this).

The 30 day will suck. There will be no sunshine shot up your ass. You will want to quit. And as you persevere, you will sustain your soul in purpose and function, and you will become ready and sure of how it feels to be just you. And you will like you more often, more easily, and there will be more of 'you' more often."
