You often don't know what to say in conversations—and tend to worry about what others think of you.
It's not uncommon for you to feel insecure in social situations—whether at work or in your personal life.
You have a tendency to be overly critical of yourself—which can make it hard to feel good about who you are.

Hi, I'm TJ, and I've been teaching communication, confidence, and self-esteem full-time since 2009.
In that time, I've had the pleasure of teaching workshops on three continents, coached people from all over the world, and had over 650,000 enrollments in my online courses. I've also been featured in publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Cosmopolitan, made over 100 other media appearances, and published two books.
I absolutely love what I do, and it's hard for me to imagine doing anything else, for one simple reason:
I've personally experienced how transformational mastering these topics can be, and helping others do the same is the most rewarding thing I know.
Until my mid-20s, I struggled with confidence and communication myself. Though I was comfortable with close friends and family, I felt insecure and out of place in most other social and professional situations.
So I decided to learn. I traveled the world, learned from world-renowned coaches and experts, and earned three university degrees along the way, including a teaching degree and a master's in education.
What I learned changed my life. Today I truly live a life I hardly dared to dream of in my 20s—both personally and professionally—and sharing the knowledge that helped me create it has become my life's work and biggest passion.
I hope you'll join me at the 2026 Centeredness retreat in Las Vegas, and let me support you in reaching your goals.
Yours,
TJ

"This isn’t the kind of event where we hype you up and tell you everything is perfect as it is, and you just need to embrace life. Every important concept in this workshop includes practical exercises and techniques that will help you create the real-world results that you want."

Las Vegas, NV
Sign up nowThe retreat takes place in an incredible 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath mansion, complete with a pool and a heated hot tub, located just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip.
Each participant will have a private bedroom, and there's a fully equipped kitchen, two living rooms, and a loft lounge—in addition to all other amenities such as laundry and WiFi—all available for you to use.
The teaching sessions will primarily take place in the house, which means you can start your mornings at your own pace—whether that means to sleep in, go for a dip in the pool, or whatever else—before the day begins.
While the workshop runs March 31st through April 4th, you're welcome to arrive March 30th and stay through April 5th, in order to make your travel easier to plan.


"I learned things at this workshop that I didn't even know I needed to learn. And the fact that it was a small and intimate workshop also helped make it easy to ask questions.
TJ is a fantastically good teacher, and you can feel how much he cares about you learning what he's teaching. I definitely feel like I've gotten better at communicating.
I recommend his workshop without hesitation."

The workshop itself will run from 10 am till 6 pm (or later) Tuesday through Friday, and from 12 pm till 8 pm on Saturday.
This is an intentionally small, curated retreat. To help everyone—including TJ himself—feel confident this is the right fit for you, TJ personally speaks with each potential participant before accepting registrations.
These conversations let TJ learn about your goals and circumstances to confirm whether the retreat aligns with your individual needs, tailor the curriculum to the group, and ensure that the participants are likely to mix comfortably.
Only after this call will you receive payment information to secure your spot.
The teaching itself combines lectures, discussions, practical exercises, and personal coaching. TJ will also be at the mansion most days after workshop hours for continued conversations and support.
Outside workshop hours, your time is yours. Relax and recharge at the mansion—alone or with other participants—or go out to explore Las Vegas. Options range from spas, museums, and fine dining to shows, tours, and nightlife.
After the retreat, you'll have 2 follow-up coaching sessions with TJ to help you retain and implement what you've learned.
"After learning from TJ it wasn't just my relationships that changed dramatically. But I now have the confidence to follow my passions. And it's been the most amazing adventure ever since.
I couldn't have done that without the confidence I got from his workshop."
