Embracing Change, Part 1:
A Tutorial on the New Empower U Forums

Dr. Bruce Eichelberger

If you've visited the Empower U Forums lately, you may have been surprised to notice that they have changed dramatically. Not only has the look of the Forums been updated to match the new site format, but the way the Forums work is also different. Because we've received lots of questions about how to use the new system, we're devoting the next few issues to a tutorial that will help you feel right at home when you post.

To get to the new Forum page, you'll need to click on the upper menu on any Empower U web page (next to the flying eagle). The link says, "MSG BOARDS".

You'll find yourself on the Forum home page where you'll see several different boxes with links. In today's tutorial, we'll talk about the light blue box on the left, just below the Empower U logo

The light blue box is the master navigation bar. Here you can always come back to the Forum home page by clicking on either "Discussion" or "Topics".

The next link down will show all "New Messages" since you last logged in, assuming you have registered and logged in. If you're not logged in, this will display the posts for the past 24 hours.

The light blue area also has other important links, including a keyword search, a contact page and a link to edit your profile once you've registered.

Next down from that is the "Instant Registration" link. We'll come back to this one in a moment.

Below that, under "Documentation," are links to the detailed user information about the Forum software. This is a great resource to review when you want to really get the most out of your Forum experience.

Finally, at the bottom of the light blue box, is the "Old Forum (read only)" link. As you might guess, when you click on this link you can see all the posts from the old forum. The old Forum is in archive mode and you will not be able to post there.

Now let's talk about registration. At the moment, you can still post to the Forum without registering. The main difference you'll notice about this is that unless you are logged in, your post won't show until we approve it. Without logging in, your post could take up to 12 hours to be approved. Registered users who log in will have their posts show immediately.

If you had an account on the old Forum, we've done our best to transfer your user name and password to the new Forum. Some people have reported being unable to access their account. If you find this to be true for you, simply create a new account. Think of it as a fresh start...

To register, click on the "Instant Registration" link in the light blue box. You'll be asked to read and agree to the Empower U Forum Rules before continuing. On the next screen, you can enter a user name of your choice (your real name or a 'screen' name), and a password. For security, make your password difficult to guess, but easy for you to remember. You will also be asked to enter a valid email address. This is important because you will receive a confirmation email that you must reply to in order to complete the registration process. You will not be able to post until you reply to this email.

Once you've replied to the email, you can log into the Forum and take advantage of all its advanced features.

In our next issue we'll talk about how to view recent posts, update your profile, navigate easily on the site and use other advanced features. You won't want to miss it!

Action Steps for Today

Want It. Create It. Live It...

Keeping our candles burning brightly is one of the challenges we all face as graduates of Empower U’s Leadership Awakening seminar. So wouldn’t it be helpful if you could have your personal copy of the principles and processes from the class to help you live your life with Heart, Body and Soul?

Word Play

"Change" seems like it is a simple word, one that we all understand. However, just think about the fact that Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary has no less than 7 main definitions for it, and 27 sub-definitions! It may be more complex than we thought!

The definition most appropriate for today's message, and perhaps for the entire Empower U Leadership Experience, is: "To become different in one or more respects without becoming something else." It's a kind of shifting gears to function at a higher level. Hopefully, you are in the process of embracing change and using your tools to make every day a great day to be alive!
