Peggy Jarrett was named a Senior Trainer in 1989 and has been involved in More To Life course work since 1984. Over a period of several years, she served as Centre Manager in northern California and later in Houston, Texas. From 2002 through 2010, Peggy held the role of Operations Director, and subsequently, Executive Director of the More To Life Foundation. Currently, in her work outside of More To Life, Peggy is the Director of Operations Excellence, Executive Education, within the Haslam College of Business at the University of Tennessee.
Through a series of serendipitous circumstances, I stumbled upon the More To Life Weekend course while I was living in Dallas, Texas, in 1984. My experience of the course was profoundly moving and applicable to almost everything in my life where I wanted to make changes but hadn’t really known how. I knew soon thereafter that I wanted to become a trainer of this powerful and practical work. What followed was a five-year, intensive journey to become a trainer while still holding executive positions in the business world: parallel careers, as it were. Over the past three decades, my work as a Senior Trainer has fulfilled and continues to fulfill my deepest longings to stand alongside others and to make a real difference with my life. I continue to learn from Life and grow in ways I could not have foreseen or planned, including adopting my two children in my early 40s – the loves of my life who have now grown into fine young men.
Simply put, my passion for passing on this transformational work has to do with the future of our children. I want my children, your children, and all of the children of the world to have their best shot at loving and being loved. It all comes down to that for me.
