“I didn’t really know what to expect going into the programme, but decided to enter with an open mind and heart. Dave Jones curated a safe and jovial atmosphere and encouraged all participants to share to the extent that they felt comfortable. This allowed participants to create genuine connections, share laughs and to share truths. I learned a lot about the brain and how our thinking drives our behaviour and this allowed me to determine the “whys” behind some of my less effective behaviours. I feel more confident after completing the program and am excited to see how I develop personally going forward.”
