I am an Engineer from Bombay University and I come from Kashmir. Overnight I lost everything. I lost my family, I lost my relatives and the next morning we had nothing with us. There was a lot of aggression in me, then I did the YES!+ course. After which conflict changed into compassion, the bitterness changed into belongingness and now I am proudly a YES!+ teacher. In one year I taught 5000 youths and they say I have inspired them. Now I am transforming lives with my heart rather than a gun.

You know it was a big 'NO NO' from my side, when it came to YES!+. And I was like who would do all this - yoga and pranayams. "No, Thank you" But I joined the workshop and I had amazing time of my life. It has enhanced my skills in so many ways, From a no confidence girl to the feeling of walking like a queen on the roads. From a person who wouldn't talk to a person next to me to the person who can just go in public and talk. I feel so nice when I see the glint in my parents' eyes and they say that "Ya this is my girl". LOVE, COMPASSION, HEALTH, JOY, ENTHUSIASM all came my way when I said yes to YES!+

Hi my name is Radhika and I am from Mumbai. I am doing my masters in psychology. After doing the YES!+ workshop, after practicing the techniques. I started achieving the academic proficiency award. I received the best student of the year award for consecutively 3 years. The most special thing that happened was the change in the relationship with my mom. Initially it was very cat-fight, melodrama kind of scenario at home. But it completely transformed, where in now there is so much openness, so much freedom, so much of trust that we share in our relationship. And I think each one of us should do the course because, it is so much simpler and happier ways of living.

I was a few years ago studying in Dubai and I was struggling with my relationships at home and studies. Basically I was struggling with mediocracy. Three years ago, I came to Bangalore and I did my YES!+ course. Everything I did just became better. It empowered me so much that I went on to be the captain of an international fest team. I became the President of Public Speaking Club and I couldn't be happier. And if there is anything you must do is take this one step and do the course. This smile can never leave you then.

I am a national level silver medalist in table tennis. I am also doing my final year engineering in Bombay. The tragedy with me was I wanted to achieve a lot of things in life, but I didn't have the time to do any of those. But thanks to the techniques that are taught in the YES!+ Workshop, my concentration in studies has really improved. The studies that used to take eight hours now takes only four to five hours and as a result I am able to put that much more time in my game and from a district level player before I became a national silver medalist representing Maharashtra state which was always my dream. And all of these dreams got fulfilled. The reason I want each and everyone youth to go through this workshop is it because it gives you from whatever we really want it makes us achieve those things.

I am an architect by profession and few years ago I came across this workshop called YES!+. I was an all rounder and I thoroughly enjoyed doing many things in life at the same time. But I realised at the end of everything I would just feel so tired. Though I had the will to do a lot, I did not have the energy to support. When I did the YES!+ workshop I was bubbling with energy and enthusiasm and the same 24 hours in a day had so much more. The quality of time I spent with my colleagues, friends, family improved tremendously. I would recommend every intelligent youth to go for it.

By educational qualification I am a CFA and by profession I am a SAP consultant. The one thing I loved about the YES!+ course is that it is really practical. It makes your life very simple. Your friends will start envying you and your professors will be really surprised how in such a less time you are studying so much and getting better marks. I could complete the CFA course at one go. It is a very taxing course. And it also gave me the confidence to shift my career from being a financial analyst to an IT consultant. It is the best thing that you can do in your life.

In college there used to be a question in my mind, "What is it that would bring happiness on people's faces. Is it money alone?" But then I woke up to the fact that money alone cannot bring happiness. So I started looking for a solution and YES!+ was it. In fact I did the program, it transformed me. Every moment of my life became a celebration. I started experiencing every moment so much more and it gave a purpose to my life. I started thinking that if I have to spend the rest of my life working I would rather do it for something meaningful. Like for example, insurance is a big business - but what it does is, it insures you against the risk of losing money. But what about the risk of losing happiness? Is there anything that insures you against the risk of losing happiness? Yes, YES!+ is something that I really truly believe can do the trick.

I have been an International Pistol Shooter. People say that practice makes perfect for me it has been the other way around. After the YES!+ course even with little practice I have been able to achieve much higher perfection. Even in other aspects of life I have been able to achieve so much, like communication, relationships. I had a very bad relationship with my mother and I would get wild thoughts, but now I can say she is my best friend.
