Greetings!
As I sit here having sizzled in the
Arizona desert all season, I'm reminded of Nat King Cole's
1963 hit, ( Roll out those) Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer .
Well, I'm can't say I've been enjoying the “lazy” part, as
I've been pretty busy for quite a while (as have most of my
colleagues and friends). I can however say, “I LOVE SUMMER!”
Hope you're having a good one yourself.

 Long ago,
I recognized that I was a committed, life-long learner.
My collection of books could stock a small town library.
I take personal development and business skill improvement
courses regularly. I've used a cadre of personal
advisors, coaches and counselors over the years to
help me catapult myself to the next level in life
or business and have even availed myself of their
services to get me though some difficult and sticky
situations. Additionally, I have quite a collection
of CDs and audio programs from many experts whose
names you would undoubtedly recognize and listen
to the frequently in my car.
So it seemed natural that when my
colleague, Dr. Joel Martin announced a week-end workshop
she would be leading with the renowned Les Brown, I
immediately jumped on the bandwagon to help bring the
seminar to life.
This August 19 – 20, in Tempe, AZ
Joel and Les are offering a retreat titled “ How
to be a Positively Powerful Person ” named after
Joel's book. The workshop will focus how to create
better relationships, unlock new business abilities,
improve interpersonal skills, manage diversity more
effectively, and live your dreams with passion using
the ten principles of her book. The ten steps include:
the power of beliefs, feedback, education, make-believe,
choice, responsibility & accountability, values,
purpose, vision creation and dedication.
For more information, Click
Here. The cost for the two days is $495 ($75
for non-profits). To register, click
here.
As you complete your personal profile
information, you will get to the section
that reads- "OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION". In
that section, you will encounter a little
box asking for the Associates
code in the Other
Personal Information section at the beginning of the
survey . Your Associates code is "LORE”.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Article - If You're Trying to Get Somewhere,
Where Do You Start? |

At the beginning,
of course...right from where you are. If you were
giving someone directions to get to New Orleans,
LA, it would be helpful to know if they are currently
in Albany, NY or Portland, OR. The directions would
obviously be different. The same is true for life.
If you are interested in improving some aspect of
your performance, it's a good idea to get an idea
of how you're currently doing: what your current
starting point is.
Maybe you've
taken those quizzes that many magazines are so fond
of offering. Or perhaps you've taken a personality
or career assessment for your job. Tests such as
these come in a variety of shapes and sizes measuring
a wide spectrum of skills, proclivities, and knowledge.

| Taking
a stand when faced with an important issue needing
a decision requires clear, powerful decision
language. It also requires that you listen intently
and respond to the opinions of others. As Stephen
Covey stated in his best-selling book, The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People , ‘Seek
first to understand, then to be understood”. |

Relaxation
CD Revisited |
| Last month, I'm
embarrassed to say that the newsletter
included a rather substantive error
in it. The price for the Relaxation
CD was listed as $9.95 when actually
it was $19.95. So if you went to our
shopping cart looking for that bargain,
didn't find the bargain and therefore
didn't buy the CD, I apologize for
the error. The good news is that the
price has been reduced and is now only
$16.95. On top of that, I've added
5 audio clips for you to listen to
so you can “try it before you buy it”.
You'll have to scroll down the webpage
a bit, but (more good news) the page
is a lot shorter than it used to be.
