Pathways To Successful Living Seminars

I would give 10 stars if I could! I attended the Chicago Basic Seminar in June, 2014 and it was life-​changing. One of the most positive experiences I’ve ever had. The hours are long and exhausting, but well worth it. Each person takes away a different experience from the seminar, depending on what you put into it. I am currently planning to attend the 5-​day advanced seminar in the late fall. I was a bit hesitant when I was told about this, because let’s face it, when you hear about it from someone, they are vague and it instantly screams CULT — RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND DON’T DRINK THE JUICE! Hahaha. It’s nothing like that. I am not a «self-​help» kind of person, but this was like an intense therapy session over the course of a weekend.
Amanda and Bruce (facilitators) are funny, friendly, and easy to relate to. Sue, one of the founders, stopped by our class for one day and she interjected some great insights and information. All of the volunteer staff for the weekend were incredible and I look forward to volunteering my time at a future seminar. If you are on the fence about doing it, just commit — you won’t be sorry! They even offer a money-​back guarantee! If you aren’t happy and honestly don’t feel like you got anything out of the seminar, they will refund your tuition. If you have financial struggles, they have small scholarships that you can apply for as well.

The collection of courses offered through Pathways to Successful Living Seminars are without a doubt the greatest educational gift I have ever received! Even more, Pathways has been the largest contributing factor to my growth as an individual and helped my transition into the adult world.
I took the Basic course in October 2012. My parents wanted my younger sister (then 17) to take the course and asked if I (then 19) would go with her. She ended up bailing but I decided to go still and boy was my world opened up. I was exposed to new concepts that helped me better understand myself, figure out what success looked like to me, and learned how to communicate better with others. I’ve always been adept at speaking and writing, but the secret that helped me was learning how to listen with empathy and truly understand someone else’s side. I also learned a lot more that showed me ways I was preventing myself from the success I desired.
Immediately after Basic, I took Advanced in November 2012. If Basic was eye-​opening, Advanced was transforming. The interactive, fully-​immersive 5-​day retreat was just what I needed to get past my bullshit and move forward into the man I wanted to become. I quickly followed into the Leadership class and have not looked back since. I have volunteered on staff for 5 seminars and still maintain contact with my classmates from the seminar.
I recommend Pathways to anyone that wants to get more out of life. If you’ve experienced a trauma in life you want to move on from, go to Pathways. If you are unhappy with your personal or professional life, go to Pathways. If life is great and you just want to understand how to help others, go to Pathways. Basically, I think if you’ve even read this review you are interested enough that you should go. They have a money back guarnatee so the only thing you’re giving up is the opportunity cost of what else you could do with that time. But if you don’t go, you’re giving up what you’re life could look like after attending Pathways. Its your call, but I say, go to Pathways!

I was introduced to Pathways through my mentor.
Before Pathways I felt as if my life was always going in circles and I was always stressed out. I had tried several seminars and read several self motivational books they seem to help but only temporarily. I can’t describe how much Pathways has changed my life personally, professionally and socially. I have a more open relationship with my family members and my career is blooming… If you are willing to do the work and the effort that comes with it. It’s worth every single penny you invest on yourself…

Pathways has changed our family dynamics. We have become more loving, intimate and effectively communicate with each other as we are now speaking the same language. The seminars have allowed us to gain amazing tools to handle our personal and professional lives. As human beings, it is our responsibility to be empowered in our lives and help others grow their potential. The ripple effect magnifies as we go out into the world and use what we learn. Sue and her amazing team are making this world a better place to be by sharing their love for humanity with each student who walks into the room. The best investment I have ever made.

I got a lot out of going to these seminars! I went with my wife, and it helped us get closer and come to deeper understandings. I see many of the lessons I learned as being a «how to» manual for being a contributing member in the world.

I first attended the Pathways seminars in 2003. At the time I was not having much success in my marriage, with my 13 and 16 year old kids, or at work! My boss suggested attending the Pathways seminars to learn how I might do something differently to get a better result. I was 47 years old, a highly paid executive with two post-​graduate degrees, and I wondered what someone could teach me I didn’t already know or hadn’t already tried?
Turns out there was a lot to learn!!! All of it was simple, and yet profound. Some brand new ways of looking at and approaching old situations. The seminar is fun and fascinating, and the tools are immediately useful. So useful, in fact, that my wife and son signed up for the classes based on the changes they saw in me.
I still use the tools and knowledge from Pathways every day. Life is still complex, but I am much more successful, joyful, connected and capable because of what I learned at Pathways. Dozens of my friends and family have taken the seminars and we support each other in an amazing way.
I’d recommend the Pathways seminars to anyone and everyone. If your stuck, you can get yourself unstuck. If you’re doing great, you can do greater!

It’s been almost exactly a year since I took the Basic seminar and to date I’ve completed the Advanced and am now taking Leadership. The experiences I’ve had and people that I’ve met have been and are simply remarkable.
Coming in a year ago, I was working in the corporate world in a high stress environment, but didn’t really feel like anything was seriously ‘wrong’ with my life. As it turns out, I learned so much about myself and how I communicate with others that I’ve improved my quality of life and my relationships with those around me exponentially!
There really isn’t a bigger gift that you could give yourself by attending Basic – it opened up a whole new chapter in my life as I continue to grow!

Pathways changed my life. I don’t know how else to put it.
Now, when I was first approached about Pathways, I wasn’t sure what to think. I couldn’t find much out there about it, it seemed like a lot of money, and it was in the suburbs. I can’t express how happy I am that I overcame those fears and made the leap of faith to register for Basic. Best money I’ve ever spent.
Since taking the seminars, my job has improved (along with my pay), my relationships have gotten stronger and more intimate, and I’m generally much more excited about each and every new day. If you’re on the fence about Pathways, I strongly encourage you to check it out. It’s worth every penny.

Before I attended the Basic Seminar back in December 2010, I thought I was doing just fine. I had a decent job, good friends and a new relationship. But looking back, I was going through life on autopilot — and waiting for things to come to me — instead of actively living in the moment. I was living the life I ‘had’ versus the life I ‘wanted’, and that’s exactly how it felt — ‘This is what I have, so I should be happy with it.’
I tell people that Pathways fundamentally changed my life, and I mean every word wholeheartedly. If I hadn’t done the Basic, Advanced and Leadership seminars, I would probably still be in a job I didn’t like and getting paid less than my experience level demanded, still be looking for a relationship in all the wrong places and settling for whomever came along, and still be lamenting the fact that my family and I aren’t as close as I’d like.
I had been in therapy for almost a year working on the issues in my life and had made some progress — but by my standards, not enough. However, in a very short time during the seminars, Pathways showed me how to do something different in my everyday to create something different in my life. I realized that the change started with me, and that I was primarily responsible with creating the life I wanted.
Without the guidance, love and support from Sue Paige and Pathways, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today — a relationship with my family that gets better and better everyday, an intimate and supportive partnership with my boyfriend and a fulfilling career where I feel valued and appreciated.
If you’re thinking about Pathways, don’t do what I did and wait for the perfect moment. Take an opportunity to invest in yourself — because if you don’t, who will?
