It's difficult for me to really describe my experience with Zarvos in words, because our words are so limiting in describing experiences that go far past the intellect. When I first set foot in the Zarvos training center, I had already attained a level of success in life, but I had an insatiable thirst for knowledge and for transcending the restrictions that I knew my past put on my growth as the man I wanted to become. I knew that I haven't even touched the tip of who I am or what is possible in my world. I had no idea what to expect. The only thing I knew was that I was extremely excited to have found a community of powerful leaders who knew many secrets and truths that could enrich my life and allow me to more directly and tangibly enrich the lives of others. After I went through Breaking Through I and II, my life began to transform in ways that I had really only seen in my dreams and visions of what I thought was possible, not in reality or directly in my life. Jim Zarvos and his amazing staff were able to guide me into the full loving and forgiving of my past, which is a feat that I never even considered a possibility in my life. They taught me the true power of forgiveness and acceptance. It was as if I was given a new pair of glasses with lenses that illuminated my own subjective world to such a degree that I began to create revelations and miracles in my life. As my perspective changed into a much wider and clearer one, my world began to align with this change, and relationships and life in general slowly began to align with my highest, most loving intentions. Jim Zarvos taught me the power of my own intention, and it paved the way for me to begin to become the source of my life, instead of the victim that was always at the mercy of the world. It allowed me to step into my own power, and gave me the clear cut tools to do so. VIA (vision in action) is a whole different ball park than the breaking throughs!! It taught me how to "focus out" to the world and use all the love, light, and clarity that I've acquired through the previous trainings to begin to really "dig in" and experience the art of unconditional love and selfless giving. It taught me the value of team work, and the skill of taking responsibility for the big picture of things, instead of just my own reality. I learned how to take responsibility for my own declarations of who I am as a person, and also my group's intentions of what we want to give to this world. Then, I learned how to take action with this powerful, focused intention we had, and create the changes that we set out to create. I realized that life isn't all about being comfortable or "every man for himself", it's about learning how to be "comfortable being uncomfortable" and embracing change. I learned how enriching it can be to travel avenues I've never traveled, and to become a part of transforming the quality of this planet. I also want to share that my fiancé has went through Breaking Through I and II and is currently enrolled in VIA. It is transforming her into the woman she truly aspires to be, and it has strengthened our relationship even more than I ever thought it could. There is just too much joy and happiness and love I've experienced within VIA to put into words. Also, as a footnote, Nora Zarvos directs VIA, and she is one of the most compassionate and graceful women I've ever met in my life, and it was an absolute honor to be her student. Her and Jim Zarvos make a powerful team, and I am very grateful to them for making this possible! I'd recommend Zarvos Leadership and Coaching to anyone who wants to get more out of his/her life, and begin to turn their visions for their life into a reality. For those who aspire to really use their potential and stretch themselves to be all that they dream to be, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. You will learn how to take your God-given power back and be the person who were always meant to be! Much love........ read more

I have been involved in this offering since 2004 and the amazing part is how it is the gift that keeps giving in my life and those around me. I have always been blessed in my life but had moments where it was cloudy or I was blind to small things holding me back from what was important. Wanting to continue to grow and excel, I looked for tools and resources to help me find my way and Jim and Nora provide those and they helped me learn to shift behavior and thought patterns based on my goals and desires in life personally and professionally. I could write a novel on how all of this has changed and altered my life, but to sum it up, it created opportunity for me to experience a life of excellence and the purest experience of all emotions I could ever want. Nothing is perfect but the desire to want more and to grow is all you need. It has helped me understand having all relationships and how to be part of one, not just the one. It has allowed me to love others from my heart and celebrate differences in all people and count them in for their greatness, not out because we are different. There are no magical words or voodoo, just the basic principals in life we are all unaware of many times. This has helped me to be a great listener, to give my heart away to people and help, to be a difference maker in the community, church, business world and with my family and friends. It has opened my eyes to so many things I was blind to or chose not to acknowledge and it has let me ego take a break when it needs it to allow me to be vulnerable and compassionate, It has showed me how to set an example to my children of respect, unconditional love, commitment, responsibility and contribution so they have a better world to live in and a beautiful life. I am self-fulfilled and trust myself and I continue to have wonderful things transpire because I allowed myself the opportunity to be open to new perspectives and bring my own to share as well. Sometimes I feel it is the presentation of something that moves us and they have a way of saying things even said by my parents, mentors co-workers and things I have read straight out of the bible, which cross over coincidentally, that has change happen. I took my own beliefs and faith and ways into the training and was given a toolbox to put tools and resources in to allow me to grow and expand myself. I will continue to be involved because I continue to evolve and change. My family was and is forever changed in a positive way because of the opportunities the changes in me! I took on my life and continue to win with more and more tools and people who just care about us all being in a better world and making it a peaceful, joyful, loving place for all!!!! I am the author.... I am clear what matters to me and on my journey and will fall down but the failure will be trivial compared to the success because I have the tools to prepare for the fall and get back up again stronger and confident to succeed. Thank you Jim and Nora for being committed to others in fulfilling our dreams, goals and desires and in helping us achieve living the best life possible!!!!! read more

I almost never write reviews but this course was such an utter waste of time and money that I felt compelled to try and help other people not end up in my same situation. Here is the overview of the first day and your first 6 hours: 1. Introduction of everyone 2. Can you contribute in any situation - including in an internment camp? How would you contribute? You should believe in yourself to contribute! 3. What levels of commitment likely lead to success in life (5. Not caring, 4. Wishing, hoping, thinking, 3. Trying, 2. Committed unless, 1, Committed WIT (Whatever It Takes). You're most likely to succeed in life, if you're committed WIT and try hard (shocking). 4. Trust - If you are a trusting person you must always choose to trust others...even your spouse, if you catch them in bed with another person. If you have any level of success in your life currently this course will be a total waste for you. I have been very successful in life and as an entrepreneur. I have been to at least a dozen leadership, team building, and training courses - this is the worst one I've ever been a part of. If you are struggling to maintain a job and failing in life maybe this course has some value for you. Additionally, I had a health issue and was unable to complete the course and the company running the course wouldn't refund any of my money. The website and up front information is intentionally vague to get you to signup for this course and commit your money with no way out. The website does offer a money back guarantee, if you sit through around 80 hours of this mind numbing training. Given the $1,295 cost of the course, that is paying yourself ~$16 an hour to suffer through 80 hours to get your money back. My time is worth far more than that - I hope yours is too. Please save yourself from being incredibly frustrated and wasting your time and avoid this company and this course. God bless! read more

Zarvos Leadership & Coaching is my life line. I had felt for a long time that my family,friends and business relationship were unbalanced. I was frustrated with trying to understand why I could not balance my life. Than by chance I had been driving on my way to an appointment with a client. The client that I had an appointment call an canceled. So,I was driving pass a sign that had stated that a rummage sale is being held to raise money for scholarships for Veterans of the armed forces. I felt that this would be nice to follow up on. I did turn into the parking lot that was being setup for this rummage sale. I stay around all day. I helped them set up and talking with many of the of them at this sale. Then time had passed by a few hours. I started to leave, but I was ask by one of the staff of this sale. She ask me when I graduated from their school? I told her that I only stop to help because I saw the sign. She was surprised. Than she ask me,if I am a veteran? Than she ask me if I would be interested in a scholarship for myself. The scholarship is offered to myself only if I would pay it forward. I said that would be no problem. The transformation for myself started on the June 6,2010. Since completing Level 1, Level 2, & VIA my relationships with my family have grown. I now know the true meaning of commitment and how to create what I want out of life. I've gotten rid of the head trash that held me back, and changed the attitudes that made me limit myself. With the help of Jim Zarvos, Nora Zarvos and his dedicated coaching staff, I have learned anything is possible. I can create and make things happen that I never knew I could before. read more

I attended the Breaking Through Trainings and the VIA Leadership Training at Zarvos Leadership and Coaching six years ago, and it was definitely the best gift I have given myself during my lifetime. As a single mom of three very active children, PTO President, "Soccer/Tennis/Hockey Mom", Sunday School Teacher, and a legal professional, I often times felt that life was pulling me along from one "event" to another -- that life was "living me." Somehow in all of the Mommy "busy-ness" and work and volunteer "busy-ness", I had forgotten some of my own personal goals and dreams (non mommy related, that is) -- as I thought "my visions" needed to "wait" until I had raised my children and they were happily and successfully "on their own." When I gave myself the gift of time "for me" and attended the Zarvos Leadership trainings, I learned tools and gained significant and valuable insight into how I could "live life on purpose" rather than "life living me" by finding out what truly matters to me in my core. I have since created my own business, started a non profit, purchased my own home, traveled to Africa, and expanded my world -- all the while my children are happy and thriving, and learning to also create their own personal "life worth living." Jim and Nora Zarvos, and all of the staff and coaches in these trainings, I thank you. read more

I have been in the corporate world over 25 years and have gone through numerous training courses. I was able to gleen positive information from each course yet not much stuck longer than a few weeks. I was told about Zarvos Leadership & Coaching by a friend who recently went through the program. It was at a time I felt my life was in auto pilot, especially in my work, but also at home and in my relationships. Although I had been through many programs I was willing to "try it out". I guarantee Breaking Through I & II as well as VIA, is not your typical motivational or inspirational program. I began the program in May of 2012 and a true transformation has happened in all areas of life. My management at work, my teenage children as well as my friends have all positively recognized this transformation. When I tell people about Zarvos and discuss seeing the new possibilities in their life; they see it in me. As a single mother with three jobs, Investing in myself has also proven to be the best way to invest in my children's future. THANK YOU Jim and Nora Zarvos for committing your lives to uplifting others. read more

I completed Breaking Through Part 2 in August 2016. This was the best decision I have made for myself in my entire life. I have incredible respect for the work that Jim and Nora Zarvos are providing. I have spent most of my life taking care of everyone around me and trying to "fix" things for them. Given my personality it is no wonder I made Nursing my career. I was good at taking care of others but not so good at taking care of myself. This training helped me to look at my lack of self worth, my lack of confidence in myself, my feelings of I did not matter, my perfectionism (which I have discovered Perfectionism does not exist) and many fears and insecurity. I am not sure how it happened, when exactly it happened, or frankly what happened but I know I have had a shift in how I think and how I am. People notice my authenticity, my confidence, I am happier more joyful, and one person told me I was a shining light. I know I matter now and have overcome many fears and insecurity. I will be forever grateful to the person who had the courage to share Zarvos with me. This has forever changed my life. read more

Zarvos Leadership & Coaching has filled a void in my understanding of "what matters" in my life. Through this 10 day personal development course (broken up into Level one and level two segments), I now understand why some personal relationships are successful and others fail. I understand why I can get along with certain groups of co-workers and other groups are difficult to connect with. Through this training, I am now more successful in my family life, professionally, and am better connected in my personal relationships. I also now have a methodology to follow that will provide the pathway from failure to success wherever I choose to apply it. I recommend this program to anyone that is not getting what they need from training courses delivered by their employer or through formal education. read more

This company takes advantage of poor and underprivileged people. I believe this company is racist and takes advantage of minorities. This company is like a cult. I've had a very successful career - the only companies that are this secretive and controlling of their information are misleading and scamming people. All the most successful life and career coaches want to share their information and believe that their 1-on-1 contact makes the difference. This company is intentionally vague and doesn't even allow participants to take notes because it knows its information cannot withstand scrutiny and is false at best. Please save yourself time and money and look for other ways to improve your life. Wish everyone the best - please look elsewhere from this course. read more

Zarvos Leadership and Coaching has changed my life. I had been working with a Coach for several years and was in a good place but I knew I could be better and do more with my life. This experience was exactly what I needed. Breaking Through provided me with tools to focus outward on other people in my life and let go of my insecurities and self doubt. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in taking their game to a higher level whether that be personally or professionally. I am a better wife, mom and employee because of this experience. It was worth every penny and every minute I invested! read more

WOW! This is the most impactful experience I have ever done in my life. I had no idea what was possible in my life until i attended Breaking Through Part 1 & Part 2. After learning so much about possibilities and figuring out what truly mattered in my life, I went on to VIA to practice the the tools. This experience has catapulted my business to a multi-million dollar producing business. It has elevated my relationships with others in my world and given me the opportunity to be the difference in the lives of others. I am awake and living life consciously, creating the life I choose to live! read more

Because of this amazing experience, I no longer see limitations ... only possibilities. And, all of this, with the underlying intent of BEing outward focused! LIFT AS YOU CLIMB!!

Zarvos Leadership and Coaching has changed my life forever. BT 1 & 2 took my breath away. Before walking into that room, I was down, broken, I did not matter to myself, and I was dragging everyone around me down. I continued onto the VIA program and every ounce of my BEing believes in this work. If you or someone you know is stuck, and needs some guidance, Zarvos is the place to BE. As a result, I am a better person, better daughter, better partner, and an even better nurse. I see the big picture now!!! read more

Jim Zarvos is a fraud who passes himself off as some kind of pseudo-psychologist even though he's not qualified to do so. He used to run an outfit in Indianapolis called Beyond Your Best, which was a copy of a program called Lifespring. The whole point of this program was to encourage its members to recruit other people to pay money to Jim Zarvos. The sessions were full of pseudoscience, misinformation and amateur psychology. Run from this guy. read more
