“ I’m crazy at fifty – I’m loving the Courage to Win®. I feel like a kid again. What I enjoy most is the inner confidence. It makes me appreciate who I am and how great life can be. ”

"I discovered my inner confidence again!"
This is an intuitive, wise, tough, kind, and deeply insightful program. It has helped me tremendously in so many aspects of my life. Without this coaching I would doubtless have taken years to make the progress I have in much shorter time. I rediscovered myself at a core level. It challenged me to examine my beliefs and confront my fears. The coaching process helped uncover the stories I had been accepting about myself and dispel the myths that caused self doubt and insecurity that I didn’t even realize I had been harboring.

"The Courage to Win changed my life!"
I graduated from an Ivy League school, got my MBA from Harvard, was successful professionally, but have been aware since my earliest memories that there was an emptiness, a void, that impacted my self worth, and permeated all of my life experiences, in addition to impacting my personal, family and intimate relationships. At 52 I came to Lisa searching for answers and solutions. Lisa carefully guided me into deep self discovery, and stood by me as I reached higher, meaningful levels of self acceptance. I achieved daily and weekly revelations that had true and immediate impact on my life. Lisa changed my life and I am forever grateful that she shared her gifts with me. Choose to work with Lisa and your life can be changed as well.

“I was most impressed with the insight of Live Your Dreams on how the mind works I quickly identified the mental issue that was preventing me from performing at my best. From that point on, it was how to address and defeat that issue. I set goals for myself and tracked how I performed relative to those goals. Perhaps the most impressive thing was, Live Your Dreams taught me how to succeed in all aspects of my life.”

Lisa is easy to communicate with and delivers the training in a way that is fun and memorable”

“I came in to see Lisa because I had a goal that I was just not taking action on. All I could see were the barriers to that goal and I was pessimistic that I would ever be able to achieve it. Today, I am in a completely different place about it…I’ve gone from a state of inaction to where I feel I can move forward. I know I can handle everything that lies ahead of me without fear. I won’t think of anything less than a positive outcome. The barriers have been reduced to ‘speed bumps’!”

I wouldn’t change anything about this course”

"I had NO idea there was a program out there that could completely affect my entire life!"
As a business owner for 14 years, I felt like I was on the spectrum of “successful” — I had some “wins” but more “losses”… but I would just cover it up.
And personally — in my relationship — I was “failing” a little every day too. I was never good enough, and it was a recipe for personal ‘napalm’. Enter Lisa Brown. I had no idea that an individual like Lisa Brown was out there and could completely affect my entire life… professedly and personally like she has done with me. She professionally coached me on taking my corporate business from JV to Varsity level (legit terms). She is an instrumental part of elevating me as a professional but even more importantly, Lisa has influenced my personal entire life and relationship in a positive way. Both of which I am eternally grateful for and look forward to many more years of her guidance, support.

“ Live Your Dreams coaching was exactly what I needed after going through a major career setback. I was quickly able to identify the root of the problem, eliminate my emotional baggage, and then develop the confidence, personal genius, and influence I needed to succeed. I was truly enlightening and already opened a number of doors for me. I fully recommend the Courage to Win route to success! ”

“ I was in a rut that I couldn't get out of. I'd been in the same job for 5 years and felt stuck. After trying several strategies I finally tried mental toughness training with Lisa. Within 3 months I was offered a senior management position at my company! Lisa's strategies really work. ”

“ I got control of my time and my life. I feel like a winner!" "My struggle was time management. There was never enough time to do everything I had to do, let alone what I wanted to do. I felt swamped... miserable and confused. I am very impressed how quickly I started to see results. In Lisa's 30 Day program, I learned how to work through the obstacles one by one. I feel energized and know what is truly important in my life. I know how to prioritize tasks and eliminate roadblocks. I feel like a winner! I'm a happier and more productive person.”

“The most valuable parts of the Courage to Win were the exercises that require coming out of one's comfort zone and physically writing down thoughts or feelings. This course was exceptional, both in terms of content and instruction. This is, without question, the most valuable course of this kind that I have attended. Thanks, Lisa”

“Mental Toughness Traininghas helped me re-define success, so that I can achieve my goals and overcome the barriers. I’m excited about success now!”

“The training Lisa offers is excellent and a worthwhile opportunity. I particularly like the customized portions of the course and her method of enhancing performance for employees”

“Since working with Lisa, I’ve gone from being pessimistic about starting my own business to feeling dynamic, sure, and proactive regarding it. I’ve taken dramatic action on the planning and every day I move toward the end goal I can see it happening!”

“The training was really practical because Lisa used real life scenarios. The participants could absolutely relate to them, and Lisa kept the atmosphere “light” and conducive to learning. Bottom line: our group wants more of this training!”

“I found the course to offer concise, effective techniques that were easy to implement, while providing truly excellent results. The techniques helped me improve my outlook, confidence and focus in various situations in my personal, business and sport activities.

I recommend this course to anyone that wants to change the way they deal with problems and the twists of life”

“Thank you for teaching the Mental Toughness workshop- the comments indicate that everyone enjoyed it very much!

She wasn’t boring. She kept my interest throughout the workshop’.”

“Until I attended your program, I never realized that emotional self-mastery was the key to a happy and blissful life. Your program opened up an immediate opportunity to get the necessary assistance and healing for my bottled up emotions and emotional hang-ups. All this has allowed me to be really aware and conscious about the mental and emotional states of well-being, resulting in a more positive and fruitful outlook on life. Each time I review the program notes and exercises, I gain more insight and am able to harness my inner strength anew in order to pursue my goals and strategies freely…I thank you and congratulate you for having the courage and ability to offer such an excellent course to the public- something that is so easy to follow and practice as a regular routine”

“Lisa, you are a great instructor! Please never stop instructing. Your course is great and the way you present it is outstanding”

“Thanks for the great course on mental toughness, I found it very useful and well-presented. I have tried a few of the concepts you presented and they are working well for me… I have found that when the work day is getting rough, they sometimes help to put things into perspective, for me. They came to me when I was most frustrated with workday events”

“I am amazed you have distilled so much essence and wisdom into something so simple and practical (applies to so much in life, as well as golf). For me it is about letting go, rather than becoming…and I am really excited about adopting your advice and quickly regaining the joy I previously had for the game”-

“Lisa, I can honestly say that this course has taught me alot as a player. It has opened my eyes to a lot of things I do when I play, after games, before games. The whole blame, suppression and mental control are things I knew I was doing but not to the extent that you helped me see”

“Lisa is very knowledgeable about human behavior and its effects on our lives. She also provides clear examples and directives so you can understand her points easily. Some things that Lisa taught me will serve me for my whole life… I now have a tool to improve my emotional immune system.”
