A Message from Haley

Haley Jarrett

Director, Excellence Seminars International

As the new owner, I stepped into this work with a deep respect for what it has been, and a clear vision for what it’s becoming. My commitment is to continue evolving this work in a way that feels relevant, grounded, and impactful for the world we live in today.

As I take the helm, my commitment is twofold:

    \

    To honor the extraordinary legacy that built this community

    \

    To continue evolving our programs to meet the needs of today’s world

    When I first came into these programs, I didn’t yet understand how much it would shape my life. What has stayed with me is the impact I’ve seen this work have on individuals, on relationships, and on the environments that people are part of every day. The shifts aren’t just personal; they extend into families, workplaces, and communities.

      Honouring Our Legacy

      This work is built on decades of development and delivery, a legacy that continues to speak for itself through the people who experienced it, many of whom still reference it as a defining point in their lives.

      1978

      Where It All Began

      Programs under the original Excellence Series and Context Associated have been delivered since 1978, reaching tens of thousands of participants across North America. Randy and Judy Revell, founders of the original work, were early contributors to the human potential movement. Their commitment to developing programs that supported people in becoming more effective, self-aware, and intentional laid the groundwork for what exists today.

      1999

      Expanding to Western Canada

      Pam Lewis brought these programs to Vancouver Island and expanded reach across Western Canada. Over time, and in response to a growing understanding of human development, the curriculum evolved into what is now the CORE Leadership Series, Mastery Leadership Series, and Specialty Workshops, ensuring the courses remained current and applicable.
