“Participating in the JOLT Challenge lets you discover more about yourself than many people make time to do ordinarily. It provides you with a valuable tool-kit to recognise and respond to a whole variety of circumstances and can help your performance and fulfilment in both the workplace and your personal life.”
— Paul, Auckland International Airport
"If you enter the Challenge with an open mind, it has the potential to totally alter the way you think, behave and feel. It presents so much useful information in an easily digestible format, and provides plenty of practical tools and techniques that will help you to use the learnings in your everyday life."
— Stephen, Metrowater
“I've found the entire experience of JOLT Challenge one of fun, personal growth and valuable insights that I will hold onto for the rest of my life. If you're looking to make an investment in personal learning for yourself, team or your organisation the JOLT Challenge will deliver insight to yourself and others, entertainment and most of all the opportunity to be more successful than you are today.”
— Amanda, Sky City Entertainment Group
"JOLT Challenge is a refreshing, enlightening and fun-filled way to rediscover your core values, beliefs and desires and to align them with intentional, positive change by using concepts and tools that are powerful and easy to use. It unlocks the potential that resides in all of us and provides a valuable insight into what makes us tick as individuals, not to mention the key elements that lead us toward personal fulfillment and success."
— Dave, Sky City Entertainment Group
"If you're looking for a self awareness programme to get you back on track in terms of your values and your purpose in life and where you want to head, I would thoroughly recommend this course. It came at just the right time for me personally, and while I am still using the techniques in a conscious rather than unconscious manner, I am using them almost every day, in one way or another. You need to be willing to put in the time and keep an open mind about the 'experiential learning' lessons, but if you do that, and are a keen participant then you will get a great deal out of it. Thank you JOLT Challenge!"
— Libby, Sky City Entertainment Group
“Too many inhibitions exist within us that we hold both consciously and unconsciously and if it’s one thing JOLT Challenge will deliver is to challenge these mindsets and help you ask ‘Can my life be more fulfilling both professionally and personally from understanding the behaviours driven by the block of flesh above my neck’. The most important thing you can do with this course, besides completing it, is to make the course book a compulsory part of your bedside reading pile.”
— Chris, Westpac Bank
“It's not very often that your work place allows you to personally grow with a chance that this may provide additional employment benefits. Jolt Challenge has allowed me to become more engaged at work and a better life balance. Don't let this opportunity pass you by.”
— Lance, Westpac Bank
“Excellent programme – it highlighted some of the teachings of our saints and sages about life in general and being positive, patience and kind. It supports the view that a person’s attitude in life determines his/her altitude in life. Thank you to the JOLT Challenge team.”
— Anand, North Shore City Council
“To know yourself better – this is a must do, simple course, but not an easy one. Luctor et emergo (I struggle and I emerge).”
— Bart, North Shore City Council
“JOLT Challenge is a challenge and it takes time and perseverance to complete, however the effort is really worth it and the team workshops are a fun and inspiring way of embedding and sharing. So often we are heads down and rarely take the opportunity to take stock and really examine where we are going and how we will get there. JOLT Challenge gives you this opportunity.”
— Nicky, North Shore City Council
"Jolted to the core! I recommend this course without any reservations to anyone, regardless of age, who wants to improve the quality of their own life, and thereby the quality of the lives of all of those with whom they come into contact. At age 68, with a wealth of personal, private and public experience, I am still learning and loving it. I wish that something as complete as this had been around when I was very young and at all those times when I needed help to deal with the curved balls life throws at us when we least expect it. It is a distillation of the world's wisdom presented with insight and humour and as many tools and exercises to develop your body, mind and spirit as you could possibly wish for. After reading the book three times, and attending the course which is very focussed, I am finding it easier to do the things that are important rather than wasting valuable time on things of no value, something we must learn as soon and as quickly as we possibly can because life is very brief indeed. The course, like life, depends on what we put into it for what we get out of it. That requires Self Intelligence, and that is what Jolt is all about, Self Intelligence! Thank you yet again for such a succint and fun way to learn life's lessons. As I keep saying, a tour de force, which I look forward to seeing introduced to all areas of society where individuals need to be jolted into change for the better."
— Moira, North Shore City Libraries
"This programme is quite unique. I've developed a better understanding of what drives me, what's important to me and how to take charge of my emotions so that I live life to its fullest. The methodology of delivery and the structure of the programme is such that change happens subtly and effectively, and most of all, it is not at all threatening! I'd heartily recommend this programme to anyone who wants to be more effective and true to who they are."
— Yvonne, President of Auckland International Coaching Federation
"Jolt Challenge is a breath of fresh air in corporate/business environment training programmes.The teachings are relevant and immediately accessable for particpants at all levels. The course layers in learnings each week, with people noticeably more confident in themselves, excited about the material and it's relevance to not only their work – also to their own personal life. I totally recommend it for individuals and teams."
— Sandie, In-Roads
"Jolt is a tremendous way to awaken the potential of your brain and give yourself every opportunity and tool to "succeed" in your life. The real power is the balance between identifying and working towards your life's true purpose and the daily tools and techniques that JOLT provides to enable you to best enjoy the journey along the way."
— Tony, Sheppard Industries
"Great concept and modern take on ideas. The sessions relate awsomely to what is covered in the book and continue the theme or mood through both. Trainers are awesome, it has been a while since i had someone push those buttons but is refreshing to know it is okay to be me and the "Me" is a great person, Thanks for pointing that out. A unique opportunity to meet the real you. This course is real, it will make changes if you allow it too."
— Kirk, Coverstaff Recruitment
"Jolt is a life changing course. It is unlike any other course I have been on. I feel the holistic nature of the course is what makes it unique and also effective as being impactful and useful in everything we do. The tools and techniques are easy to adopt and can apply across so many aspects of your life. I highly recommend this to people interested in getting more out of their life."
— Tammie, Sky City Entertainment Group
"The Jolt Challenge is amazing, it is soooo practical and easy to apply to everyday life, it has given me the tools that I need to suceed in life. This course is sooo comprehensive and soo recommendable to everyone, I tell people about it all the time so I hope they come on board and start this course because they will never look back!"
— Tracey, Workout participant
"When you hear the words 'self-help course' you can't help but cringe and think, 'here we go, touchy feely' but JOLT Challenge is quite different to anything I've been involved with before. I like the fact it has benefitted both my professional and personal life. I am a better person as a result of doing the course. Sure you can read the book but the insights from people on my course and the exercises we did in the sessions all enable a much stronger outcome. You will get out of this what you put in, but with the book, journal and weekly sessions – you really can't go wrong.”
— Niki, workout participant
"JOLT Challenge allows people to look within themselves for area of improvement and gives them real tools to challenge where they are and to set new goals for self improvement, which has a real impact on both the individual and those who come in to contact with them – family, friends and work. Great course to go through and much better than adhoc development courses or self development books."
— Charles, workout participant
“Quite apart from all the other benefits, eg: self-awareness, mastering emotions etc, above all I had great fun on this course.”
— Camilla, workout participant
“JOLT Challenge took me out of my comfort zone, enabled me to look at things differently and challenged me to do things I’d not normally attempt. It provided me with tools to use in everyday situations.”
— Sabrina, workout participant
“It gave me a sense of heightened awareness and felt like I was part of a secret club unlocking the secrets of life – how easy it is to become the best that I can be. JOLT Challenge will change your life – if you are ready for it!”
— Courtney, workout participant
"JOLT Challenge is a different way to look at life – about becoming the best you can be and not ‘self-help’. I had some really crappy news over the weekend and had closure last night. I think if it wasn't for JOLT Challenge I wouldn't have not been able to deal with the situation as well as I did. I was calm, confident and in control. I love JOLT Challenge!!"
— Ray, workout participant
“JOLT Challenge is a powerful tool to enhance the quality of your life if you ‘buy into’ and embrace the programme. JOLT Challenge has already helped me cope with some difficult work and personal areas in my life. I now react differently to situations. I take me time, evaluate and relate to my personal values. The programme is well designed, well presented and executed and fun to be involved in. Many thanks for the Mind Warriors team.“
— Cathy, workout participant
“I really enjoyed challenging myself every week. I usually only challenge the way I think after a traumatic experience – like a death or a birthday. The class was fun and social and its impact lasted longer than the timeslot allocated to it.”
— Edward, workout participant
“JOLT Challenge has been a fantastic eye-opener. It really made me think about my attitudes towards life, other people and the impact my words and actions have on them. I’ve learnt to be more positive, appreciative and thoughtful. I would seriously recommend that anyone should try this as they will gain some benefit, even if they don’t realise it!”
— Kerstie, workout participant
“I found JOLT Challenge to be effective in a way that opened my eyes to different views. It helped me address and want to continue addressing values and emotions. JOLT Challenge has and is continuing to nudge me towards my personal goal of who I am and loving the person I have always been.”
— Mac, workout participant
“The main issue I loved about JOLT Challenge was that I loved coming to the session because I wasn’t judged and people laughed with me, instead of at me and it was fantastic teamwork. I would recommend JOLT Challenge to anyone that was interested in a change of view in all areas of life.”
— Liza, workout participant
“I found the program to be very enjoyable indeed. It was great to be able to stretch both my mind and my body into new and interesting forms. When starting out I was, probably like everyone else, a little apprehensive about what the program would be like, but having experienced it, I would have no hesitation in recommending it thoroughly. It's certainly not your run-of-the-mill program. Very challenging! Overall the classes were a very enjoyable and I found that I learnt a lot about both my environment and myself from having participated in them.”
— Greg, workout participant
“JOLT Challenge is a positive way to embrace change and promote personal reflection in a non-threatening, fun environment. I enjoyed the personal growth opportunity without getting to deeeeep about it. I like the new ways of looking at life’s challenges and working with a new group of people. I am more engaged at work and enjoying opportunities for growth. My personal relationships are enhanced through better listening skills.”
— Gabrielle, workout participant
“JOLT Challenge provides a process for focusing on self-improvement areas rather than haphazardly setting your own time. The structured introduction to the different concepts each week is presented in a manner of fun, ie: the material was ‘living’ and not ‘dry’. If you’re looking for a spark to jumpstart your life, then this rewarding programme is what you’re looking for!”
— Michael, workout participant
