•What do we believe about transformation? “The truth is that our finest moments are likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are like to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers”. by M. Scott Peck
