Please read the following testimonials
from our February 2005 Men's Life Workshop:
I did not want to come, but I am glad I did. I would like
to thank all the participants and the men's and women's production team. I
really feel like I got a lot accomplished this weekend. I am seeing that
just because my Mom and I had a poor relationship, does not mean that all
women are that way. I am clearer about what kind of woman I want as a
life-long mate. Through the breathing exercise with Dr. Epps, I was able to
open my spirituality like it has not been opened since I was a young boy. I
would like to thank Karen (Mom) and Janice for all your help. I really feel
better and will continue to work on my relationships with women. I
love you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I want to thank you for your great team that welcomed us
and got us to the workshop and took care of us so well. I think the best
part of the weekend was Jim and his boys courageously working through their
issues. This made a big difference for me. I want to thank all the
participants that supported me and especially Wade. I got to know him and
connect with him like never before. I also got in touch with my feelings
about my son and mother.

Thank you for the breakthrough that was stopping me from
being a total man. I was suppressing my deepest feelings from childhood that
I didn't even know were there. Thank you for the peace the workshop has
given me about myself that I was always looking for from someone else not
realizing it had to come from me. Your workshop and staff have given me
tools to build a key to open my mind and heart. Thanks for taking me
to a new place, a place I didn't even know existed inside me. I don't know
what to say by WOW!!

When I first got to the workshop, I thought what did I get
myself into. I even started to plot out when I was going to leave. Then I
had one major breakthrough and one smaller one. I was dealing with some
mixed feelings from when my father stopped talking to my brother, then my
brother died and a good friend left. Now that this story is straightened out
I feel free and happy and ready to have some fun in life. Thank you Jim, for
pulling this out of me. Janice and crew, thank you and keep doing what you
do so well.

Thank you so much for creating this opportunity in my
life. I do believe there will be significant change in all aspects of my
life. To be able to vent anger and abuse publicly and completely freed me
and is something I have not been able to accomplish through therapy. While I
still have some unresolved issues, so many caring and supportive men and
women has opened new avenues of thought to be explored . It was also a much
needed time of reflection. Thank you for your passion, drive and high
standards that have opened doors of possibility where only walls once stood.

Your production staff were absolutely great on this
weekend. You ability to adapt to changes in schedule were a sight to behold.
I enjoyed watching the process and was able to see and sense the purpose for
many activities. You all have given so much and I pray you receive quality
as well. Janice, thank you for making the weekend possible for me. Tony and
Cynthia, thank you for caring enough about me and my family that you would
go that extra mile to see that I was included.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to have been a part
of this weekends healing. I have never done anything like this and I would
like to try it again. I was sick and not able to release all I wanted to,
but I did recognize some issues I want to focus on. I would love for my
girlfriend to do Women's Life and my daughter to do Teen's Life. Love
you all, see you soon.

I want to acknowledge Janice for creating this program and
for allowing me to stay in your home. Thank your son Justin for having us
all feel welcome and comfortable in your home. Thank you Karen, for arriving
at the crack of dawn to feed us and share her beautiful loving soul. And,
Nichole was like a ray of sunshine. I want to acknowledge all the ladies on
production for going out of your way to serve us and simply be there for us.
As a single male, I can't tell you how much it meant to me to just have you
put your hand on my shoulder and ask " if I wanted more eggs". I could
really feel how much you cared about me. I want to thank the men's
production team for everything they did. You were able to keep us focused on
track: a major accomplishment. I want to especially thank Karen and Janice
for working with us on our mother issues. Thank you for taking on the
difficult and sometimes painful roles to support us. I had a breakthrough
there even though you did not work with me directly. I also want to
acknowledge Jim for his courage in dealing with his sons anger and pain. It
was one of the highlights of the weekend. I also had a breakthrough in my
anger toward my father and I still have some more work to do there.

Janice, once again you have taken me to the next level and
I can not express enough gratitude. I was leery of how I could breakthrough
my issues with a bunch of men, but truth be known, this was one of the most
emotional experiences I have ever had. I have been touched so deeply that I
have accomplished all four of my goals. The biggest breakthrough is creating
a guilt-free relationship with my children. I am committed to being a great
father. You and Keli have given me more gifts and rewards than I could have
ever dreamed of. I am now ready for the next journey and trusting God to
launch me into the next, most powerful half of my life. Janice if I could
choose a woman to be my mother it would be you. Keli, thank you for being an
angel in the flesh. I thank God for putting you in my life. I am no longer
the scared little boy. I have grown into the man God intended me to be. I
look forward to continuing the journey with you all.
All my love for eternity.

First and foremost I would like to thank Janice and Steve
for getting me to come to this workshop. Second I want to thank both
production teams for their hard work and devotion. My first breakthrough was
to get REAL with my younger brother. My second breakthrough was to be able
to create the loving relationship with my father that I have always wanted.
My third breakthrough was to release all the anger and aggression that was
bottled up inside from my childhood, so I could be free to be happy.

To everyone at International Life Coaching, thank you so
much for this weekend of learning! The amount of time, effort and care that
was shown at this workshop, really struck a cord in me about service to
others, respect for myself, and the people around me. I was unaware of my
need to confront my mother and have gotten a great sense of relief having
experienced this workshop. I was also able to get some completion with m y
father as a result of Jim and his sons accomplishments. This impact me
greatly. For the first time I could see my Dad's side of things which
enabled me to release some resentments. I feel a power today that I have
never known existed within me. For this, I am truly grateful. Everyone
involved really served to make this an unforgettable experience. Thanks
again.

I acknowledge the production team and leaders and
participants in this workshop for their honest, God led attributes they
contributed to us men and themselves. One of my breakthroughs was in finding
my core sentence that rings true in every aspect of my life. I can now see
the pitfalls it creates as well as the achievements it empowers. The other
breakthrough I got is knowing how important God is in my life. If I just
ask him for guidance, love and patience, he will get me where I need to go.

Janice, thank you for your time, your patience and hard
work. I really enjoyed the coaching sessions. They helped me to be emotional
for the first time in a couple of years. I have been keeping all my emotions
inside for a long time now and this weekend brought a lot out. It was great
to see men be emotional, because I thought it was wrong. I feel I have
connected with God for the first time in a while also and that means a lot
to me. I used to be very close to the spirit and seeking Jesus every day,
but over the years I have built up hatred towards him. Thanks, again.

Thank you for a great weekend, even though I had my doubts
in the beginning. Jim was a very focused and valuable person in this event.
I can't believe how well you did under pressure. I also have an appreciation
for the kitchen and know the women worked hard and did a great job. Hearing
about others lives, had me really appreciate the general happiness I have
and the wonderful childhood, excellent parents and sister I have. I have no
valid reason for having any unhappy state of mind. I have also realized
there is little point in resisting small things, just go with the flow and
choose to enjoy. The game was very revealing in regards to prosperity in my
life. Expect changes soon!
