“Over my twenty-five years as President of the Center for Communities of the Future, I’ve had few individuals I collaborated with internationally who understand the concept of personal and societal transformation to the extent that Yoram does. He has not only the ability to analyze the needs of situations and people when they are threatened by transformative change, but also a rare set of skills from which he can select to bring people into an area of comfort with the challenges of constant change.
One of Yoram's greatest talents is in facilitating individuals through authentic dialogue to think about the emerging future in new ways, enabling him to build networks of people with the capacity to collaborate at a deeper level within a "futures context."
I give the highest recommendation for Yoram as a Transformational Coach. Few people I have met, combine the background experience and compassionate nature, with such a creative, inquisitive mind. Yoram is the epitome of what a personal, organizational and community transformational coach needs to be in this era of historical change.”
—Rick Smyre, president of the Center for Communities of the Future, owner of Strategic Concepts, Inc, co-author of Preparing for a World that Doesn’t Exist–Yet.
“Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of listening to Yoram speak to large audiences where you could have heard a pin drop because of the skillful way in which he draws you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat listening to every word. He has a calming nature and solid presence that is truly an expression of his authentic self.
His writing demonstrates his storytelling ability to capture your attention, inspire and move you, and is not simply limited to his public speaking. Yoram is a perfect example of someone who lives his calling, and can motivate others to cultivate their own personal power.”
—Pamela Miles, empowerment coach and speaker, founder of Wisdom of Within, and global beauty guide at LimeLife.
“Yoram’s book, You Are Your Purpose, is a love letter from ourselves to ourselves. After struggling with the Tony Robbins and Robert Kiyosaki’s approaches to finding focus in self and connection with the greater population around myself, and in that, greater success (as both a verb and a noun), I turned to Yoram Weis.
This man showed me that the path to external success was the rebuilding of grace that I had lost internally in a busy world. Truly loving ourselves, and then offering that love to the world, is the secret that I now live by…
He is the Zig Ziglar of the human soul… I cannot urge you strongly enough to open yourself to the next place of grace that awaits you… with his capable help.”
—Ray Vaughan, owner and CEO of Alien Vehicles.

"You Are Your Purpose is a spiritual journey of self discovery and introspection. A true guide to living your life with purpose and authenticity.
As I read this beautifully written book, I found the inspiring, teaching words come so softly, like a soft guiding light, yet having such a profound effect on my consciousness. I found myself reading each chapter over again, each time nourishing my heart and soul in a deeper way. Each verse quieting and opening my heart and my mind, with clarity guiding me to see where my soul can soar.

"I led a workshop on nonprofit business model assessment, and Yoram was in the audience. He immediately understood the framework and demonstrated its function in an example he devised on the spot. Yoram's enthusiasm for the intent and utility of the tool was infectious! Both his presence and active participation in the workshop were a huge credit to me, and I really appreciated his thoughtful demonstration. His bright intellect was on display, but in a way that helped others develop a deeper understanding of the subject. Yoram's gift of engagement is palpable, and made a big impression on me. I hope to work together one day!"
—Kori Kanayama, organizational change consultant, adjunct faculty member at University of Redlands.
