Testimonials

It has been a very touching and encouraging experience. The program has been great in providing me with more clarity in redefining my values. The sharing from the participants have been heart-warming and touching, further reinforcing that we’re all looking for similar things in life—i.e. to be the best we can ever be. It was an honor and a privilege to be in the CoreValue Training. The program has given me more insights and gives me time to think deeper and feel deeper. I enjoyed the CoreValue exercises that have given me different perspectives as well. Linda, once again, it has been an honor and privilege to have been invited to participate. My sincere gratitude to you for being you and giving and sharing of your light, your experiences, joy, love and your unconditional 'heart'. You’re very special and very precious. Ko, you're fantastic. Thanks for your warmth, your sharing and your love as well. Thank you and my best wishes for everything that you're doing to touch lives and make a difference.

Linda Chandler’s book should be required reading for all business students, small business owners and anyone with a dream. It is a remarkable blueprint for success.      

I am grateful to my teacher, Linda Chandler, who had helped me to open my heart to see who I am and how possibly I can make a difference in my life. She has guided me since 2005 with unfailing love and support. At a point in my life when I am resistant to face any changes (as I have fear of the unknown), Core Value Training has strongly impacted my life to become aware of my life intention, to courageously face myself with responsibility. It has helped me to commit to passionately live a joyful and meaningful life.This program is not really a 'training',  it is through our teacher using her rich life experience to teach us how to choose to live a life with purpose. It is not a course or training which requires a test or exam to pass for a grade to be promoted to the next course; it seems quite easy and I urge you to just go for fun for all the CV classes. In fact, I see the beauty of CV training is about how much we are willing to use our tools to live our life in the highest values. It requires mindfulness, discipline and belief in oneself. This achievement in seeing the growth in life is greater than achieving a high academic result. From the strength I have gained from CV teachings, I embrace my life challenges as part of my opportunities for growth. There are many international friendships born in the past years. They are from all walks of life. Their stories and their willingness to change their lives have been an inspiration to me, and they show up in my life as a mirror which enables me to grow. Through CV training, I choose to break my old patterns that are not serving me to my highest values of life, and I am willing to make choices and take action to be a change agent in life. This CV journey is a treasure I have found since 2005, and I have travelled with my teacher and other CV family members to many countries to continue my learning with my teacher. Life is abundance, and I would like to share with everyone that we all deserve love and abundance of life. It is a matter of choice. Last but not least, I encourage everyone to join Core Value Training to grow together and experience a life with daily, magical, meaningful and memorable moments!

"Once in a while, once in a long, long while I literally bump into someone who literally has the ability to change the direction of one's life. So it was that on a warm day at a major conference in California, I found myself sitting at the breakfast table with Ko Hyashi. "In my work, I usually meet many people from different parts of the world. It is always exciting and 'learningful' when that happens, but this day, it went far beyond that. I immediately took a liking to this calm,  gentle man with the serene smile. I knew he was very special, but then, to make a good thing better, he introduced me to his partner, Linda Chandler. "Linda, eminently qualified in her various fields, was one of the main speakers at the event. As I listened to her message and watched her move the audience, I felt that I was in the presence of greatness, compassion, wisdom and peace. "I was to find out that Ko and Linda offered training to varied audiences throughout the world. I was honored to attend, as a speaker, one of their Core Value Training in Cambodia. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. "Now I have to tell you that I have been an author and a speaker for over a quarter of a century. I have addressed audiences in Indonesia, Australia, France, Spain, Italy, The United Kingdom, Budapest, throughout the United States as well as many other places. But the one that stands out most brilliantly in my mind was the time I spent with Linda and Ko at the Core Value Training in Cambodia. "Their Core Value Training is what I would call a total experience. It is a rare, beautiful combination of Body, Mind and Spirit. When you are with Ko, Linda and the participants, you feel a newness and an empowerment uncommon in ordinary times. It is my dearest hope to be able to attend other Core Value Training. "Thank you, Ko and thank you, Linda, for sharing your wonderful insights and wisdom with so many of us. The world is indeed blessed to have you both on it at this time in history. I look forward to seeing you soon."
