“Got One Box from my boss. Thought it was an elaborate way to say ‘work harder,’ but the book is actually making my life less chaotic… who knew?”.

“Got a box from my parents. Apparently, they think I need life guidance… from someone who isn’t them. The book’s great though, and it doesn’t nag!”

A big change in the workplace

“An extra Star for Innovation”

Small changes every day.

I’ve used the Guided High Performance Journal to set goals and track my progress—both in my training and daily life. Each day, I focus on tiny changes that add up over time, and it’s been amazing to see how I’ve not only improved as a runner but also in my overall mindset. It’s keeping me on track and progressing each week. Haven’t cracked open the book yet, but hey, it’s on my list… for next year.!”

“The company does a fantastic job training us on systems and legal stuff, but let’s be honest—there’s usually a big gap when it comes to mentoring and personal development. That’s where A Box of Mentors has been a game-changer for me! The Principles has helped me level up in ways I didn’t think were possible. Plus, the Guided High Performance Journal has me actually focusing on what matters instead of getting lost in the chaos of daily life.

  • “”As a mom, my daily planner looks like a scroll of demands worthy of a royal decree—seriously, my kids have longer wish lists than Santa! Between their endless snack requests, my husband asking where his football boots are, and my work deadlines looming like storm clouds, I couldn’t see past tomorrow. Then I started using the Guided High Performance Journal, and while it hasn’t silenced the kids (trust me, I’ve tried!), it’s helped me organize my everyday life..”

“So, I lost my job and my relationship in the same month. When Caoimhe gave me a box, I thought, ‘Oh great, just what I need— more silly advice and breakup tips from a box.’ But honestly? It was weirdly perfect. Now I’m journaling my ‘revenge glow-up’ and planning world domination between crying over Netflix. If this box can get me through a meltdown, maybe I can get my shit together!”

I can see a change.

“Our work is tough and repetitive, and honestly, it’s been hard for the company to keep people around. When some of us were given the 15 Principles to the Art of Living and the Guided Journal to trial out, I wasn’t sure it would help, but it’s actually making a difference. I’m seeing more of my coworkers stick with the job, and even though it’s slow, there’s a more positive attitude forming. The journal helps me track little things including my health and it feels good to see small bits of progress. I think the mindset shift is what’s helping us all get through the hard days.”

You wont regret it.
