Endorsements by Calm in the Storm participants
Besides being genuinely beneficial, the production is beautiful and content wonderfully clear and concise. What I noticed more than anything, though, is the kindness and joy that Rob projects…even when talking about getting shot! To watch Rob is to want to listen and learn from him. The assessments and worksheets are wonderfully instructive, and my greatest takeaway is the quality of how Rob shows up as a person. I wholeheartedly recommend his program to anyone who could benefit from more calm and resilience in their life or work.
In 50 seconds, Mike shares how Calm in the Storm was right for him because of the powerful impact of the program’s Proactive Stress Response© process. Mike says this process “literally gave me my life back,” by helping him recognize his stress quicker and move through it faster.
