Client Testimonials

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.

Mental toughness has changed my life. I was able to overcome an emotionally devastating divorce and find ways to deal with close relationships. Mental toughness training has also given me the skills to deal with life issues ranging from financial through health/fitness and relationships of all types.

My work with Courage to Win has given me life-long skills for living a healthy, happy, successful life based on my dreams. The program has tremendous insight and compassion.

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 professionally 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.

Working with Lisa through the end of a difficult relationship was in many ways a life saving experience. She allowed me to see things from a perspective that I was not able to do on my own. Taught me the skills I needed to process all of the hurt and pain associated with the relationship and my past. Her guidance and support provided the skills I needed to move forward positively, and the confidence that the end of my marriage was not the end of my life. I highly recommend working with Lisa if you are struggling in a relationship, her guidance and support are invaluable!

I can't say enough great things about Lisa.. I was having a very bad situation with my boyfriend where I just assumed there was no way I'd get him back.. But Lisa steered me in the right direction and through her course realized what our issues were. She also promptly got back to me via email with all my questions. So he is back and basically wants to get married! Lisa is 100% genuine real deal... No games and manipulation. I highly recommend any of her courses. I did the relationship rescue but am going further with her other courses... Thanks Lisa!

I have met with Lisa for years now and she is the most caring, compassionate, and genuine person that I have had the pleasure to know. She helps me become a better version of myself after every one of our sessions. The best part is that Lisa has given me the confidence to overcome adversity in my past and has given me the tools to build a successful future for myself and my children. Thank you Lisa!

Can't get out of your own way? Neither could I Until I started working with Lisa. It is by no means an exaggeration to say Lisa is the most forthright, insightful and challenging life coach anyone could ever dream of. Lisa remembers things about me even I forgot. She will never let me lie to myself. She helps me understand and focus on my goals, and make consistent progress toward them. I succeed far more than I fail, and I owe a great deal of that success to my relationship with Lisa.

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 feel immensely lucky to have found Lisa as a coach. After my ex-husband left me and I was in crisis and had been looking for more than my therapist offered (great listening but very little for action items), I found Lisa. We embarked on an extraordinary journey, Lisa finding critical and key insights into what had happened in my past, my old patterns, and, importantly, how I could break out of these perceptions to find the confidence I was looking for. I successfully attracted my husband back. I went from being disempowered to having the choice of whether I wanted to be with him again. I am deeply indebted to Lisa for the incredible work we did together. She is absolutely the reason I found myself again, found love again, found inspiration again, found a way to break out of an old mold it was time and Lisa broke through where therapy could not. I owe her so much. If you are looking to turn a corner in your life, to find momentum again, to be confident in yourself, look no further. Lisa's coaching is nothing short of extraordinary.

I'm not sure exactly why things 'clicked' with Shannon like they did, but they did in a big way. I feel a spiritual connection to her I cannot explain. I love her with all my heart. The circumstances of our lives when we got together two years ago were extremely challenging, and we could not be together the way I'd hoped. I became impatient and acted in ways that were not myself, and we broke up. I was devastated. This is when I searched and found Lisa. Lisa showed me how to deal with my emotions and communicate in such a way that unlocked Shannon's heart. In turn, she became more forgiving of me. Today we are in a committed, loving, amazing relationship and just got married! I can't tell you how happy I am, and she is too. We have developed a deep and loving relationship that is in no small part because of your coaching. I found your advice invaluable!

“Your presentation, Mental Toughness, was informative, insightful, entertaining and motivational. Thank you, Lisa for providing our clients with such excellent service. They commented on how appreciative they were.”

“I am very grateful for the opportunity to take the Mental Toughness Class, which helped me a great deal. You confirmed my inner feelings that living consciously is the only way to live. I process everyday situations much easier and feel so much happier with myself. Thank you for the individual coaching I had with you. I needed to unblock a lot of feelings and with your assistance I was able to deal with a lot of stressful situations in my life. I feel very confident with the decisions I’ve made and I truly enjoy living consciously. Again, thank you for the unblocking because I’m on the right track”

“The tools are immediately applicable to my life and work. Lisa Brown lives what she preaches. Well done!”

“Working with Lisa helped me take action on goals that I had been procrastinating on… in the past two months I’ve done things that I never would have done before.”

“The thing I valued the most about working with Lisa was her excellent listening skills and her ability to focus on now: what can we do now to address this? She is incredibly solution-oriented and always brings an orientation of ‘It’s possible to overcome this problem’. I found this very inspirational.”

“This program gave me the ability to deal with adversity. Instead of being devastated by negative news, I have a clear set of goals and plan of action to achieve them. I feel very confident about my future.”

"After a period of almost 20 years of mental upheaval and emotional turmoil, I was thrilled to come across Lisa's program. It has enabled me to take control of my life in a most empowering way. As such, it has brought to light unknown and forgotten areas of my existence which needed urgent attention. Until I attended the program, I had never realized that emotional self-mastery was the key to a happy and blissful life. All this has allow me to be really aware and conscious about the mental and emotional states of my well-being, resulting in a more positive and fruitful outlook on life.

I am now more accepting to whatever keeps unfolding in the universe for me. Each time I review the program notes and exercises, I gain more and more insight and am able to harness my inner strength anew in order to pursue my goals and strategies freely. I now take total responsibility--consciously--for my "actions, behaviours, habits, destiny and personal happiness," not to mention my thoughts and emotions too! It seems like I had been just waiting for my life to start all over again. If I had to put what I feel about the program in a nutshell, I would say: "Mental Toughness Training for Success is a must-do, must-have, and a must-be program for every human being!"

"You can have everything--all the skill it takes--but you will never achieve your goals if you don't have mental toughness...and Lisa's teaching of it is a must for anyone interested in excelling at a high level. The way she teaches mental toughness allows you to understand it and apply it practically in a short period of time."

"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 goal. I can see it happening!"

"Mental toughness training has been the key to survival for me--both personally and professionally. Now that it's such a big part of my life, I honestly don't know how I got along without it! Before working with Lisa, everything else I did to improve my life (I read all the books, did all the training) never worked when it came to really emotional issues. I'm better at my job--I have a better relationship with my customers; I have a better relationships with my boss; and I know I'm a better listener and communicator. Doing mental toughness training is the best investment I've ever made in myself."

"Mental Toughness Training helps you take control of events and results in your life. The program teaches you how to challenge the limiting assumptions you're making about yourself so you can proceed to conquer even higher challenges. Lisa is very professional in her approach and sincere in passing her knowledge and experience of mental toughness to her clients. She is easy to communicate with and delivers the training in a way that is fun and memorable."

"I highly recommend this program for anyone interested in being successful."

"Mental toughness training is beneficial for everyone. We can all use it, and we all need it. Lisa is great with people and brilliant in her communication with participants."

"Outstanding principles for people who are ready to take control of their lives."

"Because of mental toughness training, our employees are more productive. They are more aware of their responsibilities and can focus on what they’re supposed to be doing and doing it- not wasting time. They are independent, able to solve problems, and complete several job functions at the same time. They know where to start and where to follow through. What’s even better is that they come to me with problems. And, they take responsibility for fixing the problem rather than avoiding it."

"I incorporated mental toughness training into my life...what a change! The most important thing I got from the course is that it's given me the confidence I need to handle any situation. In fact, recently I was in despair over a major project because I didn't believe I could get in done in time. But I applied what I learned and by the next day it was done. I couldn't believe it!"

"I applied what I learned in mental toughness training with a major client we were in danger of losing. Now he's really happy---all because of the way I prepared to handle that conversation based on what I learned in the program."

"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'm 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'!"

"Lisa really is an excellent coach. She ALWAYS gets terrific evaluations from our clients and I often hear them say, 'This is the BEST training I've ever taken.'"

"Thank you for your excellent course and your facilitation of the material; I learned a lot. You helped me find ‘the solution’ to my challenge and indirectly made me realize that it was a ‘luxury’ challenge; that I had lost my perspective.

Immediately waking up yesterday morning, I was aware that your course had been very effective. I never expected to receive so much in such a short time span."

Lisa has been a delightful professional to partner with, and we value her exceptional contributions and vibrant presence. She consistently exhibited remarkable dedication, professionalism, and a strong work ethic. The feedback to her public and corporate training class has been excellent. Participants found Lisa’s facilitation style, participant engagement tactics and content very practical and helpful.

'Lisa I wanted to write and say thank you from my son and myself for The Courage to Win in Sport and to let you know what a difference it has made in my son's bowling game.
My son, Matt, is a 17 year old High School Junior who has been on his school's bowling team for 3 years. My son was bowling well at the beginning of the season, was not a varsity starter (5 man varsity team), but an alternate.
We purchased the book at the beginning of the season and he read it over the Thanksgiving break. Within the first week of coming back from the break, he was starting varsity. By the Christmas break he was the number 3 man on the starting varsity squad. He felt the book had helped him to focus and be mentally tough enough to out bowl his competitors and his team mates.
At the beginning of last week he felt he was in a bit of a slump, so on Wednesday night he reread the book. At Thursday and Friday's matches, he had high game and high series for his team at both matches.
However, his success didn't end there.
On Saturday at his home town's sponsored high school tournament, he bowled a perfect 300 game.
12 solid strikes!
This is only the 6th time in the 24 year history of the tournament that a 300 has been bowled. In the 10th frame, as he bowled the 3 strikes, he had close to 300 people watching him.
A reporter from The Newark Star-Ledger was present and interviewed him. Here is my son's quote: `I was able to keep my focus, keep my eyes on the target and my hand behind the ball,' said Barros, who averages 202. `When I was going for my last three strikes, I didn't realize anyone was here. It was just me and the lane.'
His comment to me after he had calmed down was, 'thanks for getting me that book, it really helped me to stay focused.'
The book and your email tips have had a huge impact on my son's bowling career. It really is a great book!

I came back to golf 12 months ago after 12 years away having children, just playing the occasional game I started playing when I was about 10 and best handicap was 8 as a teenager, I know I can do better than that this time!! I came back handicap 18 and have managed to get to 10 last week my goal for the year is single figures I'm nearly there. I have really enjoyed your books and have lessons and practice your drills regularly I have just been measured up for new clubs so I will have modern technology and mental awareness very soon I love my golf and my kids are starting to play also Thanks for all your great drills and ideas

Dear lisa, Thank you for writing these books, i'm a first year golfer and have taken the game far too seriously and haven't learned to just relax on the golf course, I take lesson after lesson but that never helped much. These books taught me the truths about mastering my mind out on the course. I've now had several people say that there's no way could be a first year. They're calling me a liar!! Thanks,

Your book changed my game. I live and play in Victorville California--from the white tee box, the front 9 is 3236 yards. Yesterday on a par 36 I shot 41 with NOT three putts. My golfing partner (Terry) is amazed how much my putting has improved. Today I had 3 straight putts. I just want to say: thank you, thank you, thank you!

We had become so focused on the fear of failure that we lost our confidence a lot. The mental toughness training we did with Lisa was invaluable because it allowed us to turn our focus on the game itself. More than anything, Lisa's training works because she uses a practical approach based on real experience...she even helped me become a better coach to my athletes.
