"At the age of 32, I was going through a rough time with relocating to a new place, a new baby in the family, and my husband starting a new career.  I had no idea what my purpose in life was or whom to take care of first.  I considered myself to be a person with a positive outlook on life, but I was stressed, depressed, and not sure about any of the decisions that I had made in my life. I was good at hiding these feelings from friends and family, and I was afraid that I would have to continue living my life this way, dreading each day. I tried all sorts of things that I thought would change my situation... more exercise, less exercise, better diet, worse diet, entertainment, shopping, and denial. Naturally, nothing changed the way I felt at the end of each day, and I continued to feel like a failure even though I had a great family and financial stability. I still didn't know what to do with myself. As a result, my marriage started to suffer. I'm sure that I was not pleasant to be around since I started to pick on everything my husband did and blamed him for the state I was in. I felt unattractive. It felt like we were living separate lives and were starting to grow apart.

In Sep 2005, I started to take life coaching classes with Seran. From the first session, I knew that I had made at least one right decision. I absorbed as much as I could during each session and practiced the techniques I learned.  Little by little, I saw the world in a different way and noticed the affect it had on the rest of my life and the people around me. My husband started to take interest in things that I said and we were able to open up and discuss things, like close friends would. Barriers were down and I was confident about myself and my life. Now, a year and a half later, I can tell friends that my relationship with my husband is the best it has ever been, and continues to get even better each day. 

Now, when I meet someone who seems to be suffering through life, I let them know how I changed my life and that I wish that I had done it sooner. Life is too short. I'm so thankful that Seran and John have developed their coaching methods. I've read many bestseller self-help books, but the seranity tools have stuck with me. Without them I would probably still be feeling miserable, and my family would be too.

Thank you a million times over. " - Laurie  
 

"From the day I started my coaching with Seran, I felt I had been given an opportunity to change how I handled all of the on the job stress that had been making me very unhappy at work.

When I started, my goal was to figure out how to stop getting so angry due to my frustration with the lack of ownership and poor quality that I was constantly running into at work. This behavior lead people to believe that I was difficult to work with and made my encounters with them and theirs with me very unproductive. At one point, I decided to fix the problem by not participating in meetings and discussions so I could eliminate the frustration. This went against what I would normally do which was to contribute my knowledge and understanding of the “bigger” picture so projects and processes being developed would have a better chance of succeeding. I could not understand why the perception of me was that I was the problem and not the people who did not do their job properly.

I felt like Seran had dumped a huge bag of pingpong balls on the table. So many different thoughts and ideas, none of which seemed to be connected and all of which were flying around in every direction. That started my journey. After about four months of coaching from Seran, I knew I was better equipped then ever to handle all of the challenges at work. This was clearly proved out to me at year-end.

For me, the month of December is normally challenging due to the significant increase in demands at work and at home. As Production Control and Purchasing manager, December has always had two challenges for me. This past year, I had all of the usual demands and than some. Added to the normal December stresses were these additional ones:

• manning issues in my department due to additional vacations, sick days, and emergencies

• my own use it or lose it vacation days

• having two key people who interfaced with my department retiring at year-end

• planning retirement activities

• posting and interviewing eight people to replace the person in my department who was promoted as a result of the retirements

• unplanned equipment requirements for sales training and VIP customer visits

• unusually large, unforecasted sales order caused lots of scrambling to accomplish year-end shipping

Under “normal” circumstances, I would have been simply miserable – too many demands and too little time. I knew that what Seran was showing me had already made a big difference in how I felt at work and at home. She allowed me to refocus my attention back to what I was doing and saying (both to others and to myself). This new vision and understanding made quite a difference in my approach to all of the tasks at hand. As December neared, I took a calm, deliberate approach. I managed each requirement (planned and unplanned) as it came up, determined it’s priority and planned accordingly. By using the tools I had been given by Seran, I was able to calmly make my way through December. This approach allowed me to reserve my energy for the things that were important to me. If I had let frustration and annoyance take my energy away, I would not have been able to accomplish all of the tasks on my plate in December.

Seran’s insight, understanding, and stories have all allowed me to see things more clearly and react in a positive, constructive manner. I am very appreciative of being given this wonderful opportunity to explore, learn, and grow both professionally and personally." - Nancy

"Prior to taking the course, I permitted worry and stress to play a significant role in my daily routine, it took away a huge amount of my energy. Since the course I have made very simple change in the way I percieve myself and the world around me and I no longer permit stress and worry to consume so much of my daily life.

Thank you for the tools and techniques which helps me to fully enjoy everthing I do nowadays. It started to work from the first day of the course and continues to work and become clearer as years pass. "
