At the risk of being a landmark forum proselytizer --
The first day of the weekend program of the Advanced Course, I had to stand up and say "who I am." It was awful standing up in front of 101 people. I was nervous, shaking, resistant. Everybody else in the class said they also hated it -- lots of people were visibly shaking and sweating! On the Tuesday following, I stood up in front of the same people, plus 200 guests, and had zero fear of speaking in front of the crowd. Suddenly I was eloquent, witty, dynamic - a hit! Also, my party/dating/meeting new people-shyness was completely gone, nowhere to be found.
In a nutshell, you look for and experience the decisions you made when you were a child, and see how valid they are. Becoming aware of them frees you of their power. There's other stuff in there, too, and I found it very fun and valuable.
The downside is it costs a few hundred dollars, spread over the two courses. Also, they work by word of mouth and the "marketing" can be a little much, but you can disregard it, just as you're free to disregard this post. When I did the courses, they push you to get your pals in, and I hated that. (That's ironic, huh, because here I am recommending it to you.) But I would pay it again in a second, as big a difference as it made for me. Danger Man did it, too, and I think it made a huge difference in our relationship.
I don't normally talk about it in my non-virtual life, but your question is so directly to the point of what I got, in such a big way, out of the courses.
