Uncompromised Life

"My self-confidence has definitely increased "

Quick summary

At 71, John transformed his hockey game by letting go of self-criticism. Through Marisa Peer's course, he developed a more positive attitude on the ice, playing with greater confidence and relaxation—resulting in marked improvement in his performance.

Marisa is clear, gives terrific examples and is straightforward about where she is taking you and anchors the lessons in really well.

I am hard put to say what part of her Uncompromised Life was the direct factor although the "I am enough" segment definitely had an effect, but my self-confidence has definitely increased (and that occurred before the "I am enough" sector). I used to be very negative about my performance in hockey . I would nitpick every mistake I made during the course of a game. Since taking Marisa's course I now play with a far more positive attitude and am more relaxed (and as a result more effective) when I'm handling the puck. As a result, my overall play has shown a marked improvement in my game (and none too soon - I'm 71)!
