The program is much more in-depth that any vision board advice you will find on Pinterest, and the coaching sessions at the completion are amazing.

She walks you through a deep meditation that brings you back to childhood, while releasing all your fears and replacing them with love, joy and happiness. Taps in your subconscious and allows you to identify and write down the things that make you happy. Afterwards, she has you cut out the photos from a magazines of what your definition of happiness looks like in different areas of your life. Tiare brings such a vibrating and passionate heart to all her workshops. She checks in with her clients to follow up on their vision board too. Loveee Tiare and her authentic soul! As a Dreamboarder I've always loved her style and keep coming back! Each work shop, I do my best to bring a loved one!

I walked away from the very first session with Pam with so much more confidence in my craft. She is hands on, provides real life exercises, and genuine feedback. You can just tell that Pam genuinely wants the best for you as an individual and she provides you the tools to add to your belt for you to be your best self. I am beyond grateful for Pam and look forward to every chance I get to chat with her. She is a pleasure to work with, I cannot recommend her enough!

Being critical about myself in a positive way has always been a difficult proposition, and doing so…read moreconsistently without justifying outcomes, almost impossible. Let alone having the knowledge what to be critical about. This, precisely, is what Pam offers. Having gone through the same process herself, the hard way, she channels that expertise in a glowing, positive, and honest force-of-will that leaves you gob smacked, and wanting more. I have had the pleasure of knowing Pam for more than half of my adult life, and to say she has been impactful doesn't scratch the surface of the influence she and her classes have had. Breaking down the art of speaking, self-confidence is at its core, I have never met anyone who can nurture confidence quite like Pam, certainly not in the period of a few weeks of classes. Without hesitation I have recommended friends and family attend at least one class, not one has regretted it. If you want to improve your professional presence, speaking, confidence, or just want to challenge yourself to improve the level at which you communicate, look no further. Take a class.

When I entered the world of long-term care, I had no idea how much I didn't know ya know!? Who knew that having Medicaid is extremely beneficial both physically and financially to someone who's over 65 and in need of some extra support? Well... Scott and his team are truly a blessing. No matter who you are, what you going on, your situation, etc. I highly encourage you to seek counsel with this company. Even if it's just a consultation. You will not regret seeking the advice and comfort in this team as you navigate an extremely tricky system here in Hawai'i. The support and aloha here is first-class. Couldn't recommend them any more!

As part of my employer's leadership team, I was invited to the company's strategic planning…read moreretreat. As part of this retreat, a group of us were tasked to do a group presentation to address three questions. To help us prepare for this presentation, the firm hired Alt to facilitate the group discussion that would provide the basis of the presentation. What I loved about Alt and his style was that he knows how important it is to understand the group dynamic, so, prior to the retreat, he met with each participant to get to know us and find out what we individually hoped to get out of this retreat as well as our concerns. This was also to help him better facilitate the group discussion. At the retreat itself, he did a fantastic job of facilitating the meeting by starting us off with the goal of the meeting and laying out ground rules to ensure we would stay focused on the topic at hand and be able to hear every participant's opinions, thoughts and questions in an organized and respectful manner. He made sure to block off time at the end to allow us time to discuss how we wanted to do the presentation and practice it. During this rehearsal, he gave us feedback and his thoughts on it. While he didn't have the chance to see it, the presentation went well. The second time the firm hired him was to do a training at our annual firm meeting. He did a fantastic job there, too. He reached out to people prior to the meeting to get a sense of the firm and be able to tailor his presentation to the group. He was mindful of the time as he had to cut some parts short. I loved the stories and anecdotes he shared to really bring in the points home about finding the work/personal life balance. Highly recommend Alt for meeting facilitation and trainings. Ever since the retreat, I have always looked forward to the next time I get to work with him.

Alt is extremely responsive and is thorough in his communication. He provided clear instructions on what needed for the seminar to get the most of our time with him, and he even went the extra mile and customized scenarios to make them more relatable to our team. These personalized touches really had a big impact on our employees and made a significant difference, and our team recognized it. Alt is an incredible speaker and possesses a remarkable ability to engage his audience. Our team was able to connect with him on a deeper level based on his presentation and examples. I would recommend Pacific Training and Facility services. You will not be disappointed.
