"I found what I was looking for in Success Integrated - cutting edge, student centered, entertaining but relevant and applicable goal setting for all students, not just those academically minded. Adding current music to the mix is simply inspiring…The seminars both had follow up procedures inherent in their structure, which was another vital ingredient that I had been seeking.”

“The impact of the day has continued throughout the year as students are able to recall many of the ideas and techniques that they learnt at the seminar. I feel that many students who felt uncertain about the upcoming year were able to create a plan and set a focus for the upcoming year as a result of attending this seminar.I would recommend Darren's seminar to other schools.”

“Their willingness to succeed, their freedom of choice and their passion for life were so vividly drawn on their faces, that I was deeply touched and overwhelmed by their response….I particularly found it amusing, that upon conclusion of the seminar, no student was prepared to move out of his or her seat. I recall you looking puzzled, wondering what they were all waiting for. And the answer was clear…it was you! They wanted more. Four hours of high powered energy, discussion and activity and the students wanted more.”
