More Life Training Weekend
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wright Leadership Institute?
The Wright Leadership Institute is a personal and professional growth and development organization. We teach people the core life skills they need to have maximum satisfaction, success, and fulfillment in every aspect of life. Our tools and technologies synthesize traditional Adlerian, developmental, and existential schools of psychology with cutting-edge methodologies into a core curriculum focused on four main areas: Nourishment and Self Care, Personal Power, Family and Intimacy, and Life Purpose and Spirituality. The Institute was founded by Dr. Bob Wright and Dr. Judith Wright.

Who attends the MORE Life training?
People who attend the MORE Life Training come from all walks of life, all income levels, all ages, all ethnicities, all levels of education, and all different spiritual and religious backgrounds. When you walk into our training room on Friday evening you will be surprised by the variety of people you encounter--from CEOs to stay-at-home moms, from artists to Ph.D.s, the MORE Life training serves anyone who knows they want more out of life.

Some people attend simply because a friend or someone they care about experienced the training and thought it would benefit them. Others might have read Judith's book or heard her speak and want to learn more about the bigger MORE in life. Still others have very specific goals—to improve or develop relationships, to have more career success, to feel a bigger sense of purpose or meaning in life, to help reorient in a major life transition. Any or all of these are great reasons for attending the training.

What will I learn at the training?
The MORE Life training is based on best-selling author Judith Wright's work as well as the over 20 years of proven success by Wright Leadership Institute students. The Wright Institute's on-going programs synthesize traditional Adlerian, developmental, and existential schools of psychology with cutting-edge methodologies in order to integrate, develop, and disseminate the best human development technologies available. This particular training is designed to give you a rich immersion in and taste of our year-long Year of More program.

What can I expect at the training?

  1. Friendly volunteers – The training is staffed by friendly volunteers devoted to ensuring you have the most positive experience possible. Feel free to ask anyone with a yellow name tag for anything you need at any time.
  2. A cool learning environment – We literally keep the training room cool to optimize your learning. So dress in layers to ensure your own comfort. We'll also teach you some cool accelerated learning techniques to help you get the most out of the training.
  3. New friends and allies – On Friday evening you'll join a small team of other participants. No sitting through long lectures with a hundred strangers, you'll have the opportunity to learn from and share with others on your team as you work on learning assignments together. Lunches with your team on Saturday and Sunday will deepen both your learning and your new relationships. By the end of the training you'll have new friends and allies to support you!
  4. Experiential learning – Our More Life Training Weekend aims to be more than just another seminar, lecture, or workshop that you file away in a notebook once the weekend is over. Through active, accelerated learning strategies like multi-media presentations, large and small group sharing, outside assignments, in-class exercises (and even a little dancing!), our goal is for you to transform into the fullest expression of who you can be. We'll present not just information, but new ways of thinking and experiencing yourself and your world.
  5. A transformative experience -- It is not uncommon to feel confronted or challenged by the concepts of the training. In fact, the MORE Life training is designed to help you challenge old, often unconscious, beliefs and rules that keep you from achieving your maximum success and satisfaction in the world. Most of us rarely stop and take the opportunity to really examine these impediments to our success. The MORE Life training is just such an opportunity. During the training, at times you may feel uncomfortable calling old certainties into question; and at other times you may feel elated at breaking through to new vistas of what is possible for you. It's all part of the process of becoming MORE you.

Why is there a no-show deposit?
There are a limited number of seats available for our events. We have to turn people away once we've exceeded our capacity. By registering for a training and supplying your credit card, you are committing to a reserved seat with a $50 no show deposit. If you do not attend AND do not cancel at least 72 hours in advance of the training, the $50 fee will be charged to you. If you attend the event or cancel in advance so that your place can be given to someone else, we will refund your $50.

What are the hours of the training?
Registration starts at 6:00 p.m. Friday evening. The training starts promptly at 7:00 p.m. and runs until about 11:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday the training runs from approximately 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.

Where is the training held?
Most trainings are held at 445 E. Ohio, Suite 340, Chicago, Illinois. (We'll let you know if the location changes.) If you're taking public transportation, we are well situated near major bus lines and approximately a 20 minute walk from the red line of the El. If you are driving to the training, you'll find plenty of parking within a couple of blocks. If you are staying in a hotel downtown, we are conveniently located at Ohio Street and McClurg Street, near Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, and other attractions—a short taxi ride from most downtown hotels.

Why do you give away this training?
Quite simply, we hope you enroll in our on-going program. In the past we used to charge the equivalent of $800 for this type of weekend training. Our trainings were wonderful, but we weren't reaching the number of people we wanted and consequently weren't having the positive impact in the world that we desired. Now we give away this first introductory weekend of the Year of MORE with the hope that you'll join us for a full year (and hopefully beyond) of learning and growing. If you don't decide to join us, we hope that you'll have had a wonderful weekend. If you decide to join us, we know that you'll be in for one of the most transformational years of your life!
