Personal Impact Workshops

About Us

Foundations is a non-profit organization committed to helping people achieve their potential at work, at home, and at play. We give participants from all walks of life the proven tools needed to break through self-imposed limitations, eliminate destructive habits, and uncover hidden beliefs that prevent them from realizing true success.

Foundations' life-changing workshops are conducted in a safe, supportive and completely confidential environment. Our highly trained workshop facilitators offer unconditional love and acceptance of participants exactly as they are … while motivating and encouraging participants to do the deep, and sometimes difficult, work needed to become even more.

Although their benefit is undisputed, the cost of personal development workshops has largely limited participation to upper middle class and wealthy individuals. As a non-profit organization, Foundations is committed to making this much-needed and highly beneficial training accessible to a wider segment of the general population who might otherwise not be able to afford such a "luxury." Our not-for-profit status ensures that we're able to deliver unique and life-changing programs at a modest cost far below what profit-driven training companies must charge.

Since 2004, thousands of participants from North America and around the world have participated in our workshops. And each year, hundreds of hours are given back by returning participants in support and service of Foundations' training workshops.

Foundations Directors and Staff

Foundations workshops are lead by teams of highly trained workshop facilitators who have been formally trained in the skills needed to facilitate personal development workshops. The combined experience of the presenting team at any particular seminar exceeds 50 years, and in many cases over 100 years.

Some of our board members, founders and key facilitators have extensive experience in the leadership of personal growth seminars including but not limited to Choices International; originating from You Seminars started by Dr. Phil McGraw, (of Dr. Phil and The Oprah Winfrey Show) his father, Joe McGraw, and Thelma Box; Adventures Seminars; as well as other government and private organizations.

Lead facilitators and volunteers continue to take formal coursework in related fields. Nearly a dozen staff members and volunteers are certified trainers for Personality Dimensions, which teaches trainees about various personality types and is derived from the Myers-Briggs personality type instrument. The Foundations team includes CTI (Coaches Training Institute) and ICF (International Coaching Federation) coaches, and several staff members and volunteers have completed the CTI core coaching curriculum, which consists of more than 100 hours of formal training for personal coaches. Coach Steve Safigan is also holds a masters degree in Applied Positive Psychology at University of Pennsylvania, one of only four such programs available in the world. This degree is the closest that academia has come to an advanced degree for personal development, and this particular program is chaired by Dr. M.E.P. Seligman, widely regarded to be the founder of the positive psychology field.

Although there is no equivalent of an MBA, CPA, or MD for the personal development industry, we believe that our team members are the best in the world at what they do.
