"The recent 14-week course involving the life and leadership of John Wooden has exceeded my expectations. Going into the course, I anticipated learning about what it took to win multiple national championships in NCAA basketball and was hopeful that there would be some carry- over to leadership attributes that would impact the “real” world. My hope was that there would be enough carry-over material that I would be able to incorporate into my previous leadership learnings. What in fact has happened is that the teachings of John Wooden now form the basis for a leadership philosophy in which my previous learnings can be incorporated."
- Dr. Tom Trigg, Certified Coach

This program has served as a compass, directing me towards a path where success is not just measured by external achievements but by the genuine satisfication drevied from living a purposeful life.
