Today's Message |
Share the Knowledge
By Dr. Bruce Eichelberger
It has been said that we don't truly know something until we
teach it. I know that for me this has always been true.
Whenever I teach a class I always learn at least as much as
anyone attending, and my understanding of the material
always deepens.
When it comes to your Leadership Awakening training, you
gathered many tools and concepts during those 2 ½ days. Most
of you take that experience and apply it directly into your
life, your work and your relationships.
But what if there was more you could do? (Remember, "There's
always more.")
One truly excellent way to further activate your Empower U
experience is to think about how you would share the
concepts you've learned with someone else. Your
actions are ultimately what gives others permission to
embrace these principles, but your ability to put your
understanding into words will go a long way towards helping
you to discover the deeper meaning of the concepts.
A good place to start thinking about how you could present
these ideas is to read Scott V. Black's book, "Becoming Your
Dreams." This book outlines the behind-the-scenes ideas and
principles that guide the Awakening experience. With this
understanding, you'll add your own unique
perspective and come up with your own individual way of
talking about the process of living your life like it
matters.
Another excellent way to deepen your experience is to come on staff at one of the
upcoming Leadership Awakening classes. You get to see an
in-depth view of the process from the 'other side' of the
table. (It also gives you a great recharge!).
If you want to know more, you could also consider becoming a
Trainer in Training. This includes getting to learn how to
actually present some of the powerful processes in
Awakening. Nothing could teach you more and help you embody
these principles at a higher level. |

Action Steps for Today |
|
Sharing the impact of your Empower U experience with people
you respect gives you a lot back in return.
First of all, you'll find that it rekindles that spark of
passion that may have died down a bit since your graduation.
In addition, you're sharing a powerful experience from
you life with someone you care about, which creates a deeper
bond.
And finally, they may just be curious enough to take the
next step and go to class. This helps you because we all do
better when we are surrounded by empowered people. |

Making a
Difference - Bryan Parsons, Team 409 |
|
I have some interesting job stories from experiences that
I've had over the last couple of months that I'd like to
share with you. I got called out to a house because
the woman wanted to speak to a deputy about being robbed
in Reno. When I arrived and was talking to her, she was
a wreck! After convincing her that she was safe in
Dayton because more than likely, the suspects would not
follow her to Dayton, and then performing a security
check on her home, I advised her that she may want to
look into some form of self help to get her past this
trauma. Her reply was "I want to." Without even
thinking, I immediately asked her if she wanted to or
she was going to? Obviously she looked at me rather
funny, so I went for it and told her that anybody can
say they want to do something or they will t_y to do
something, but in the end, it didn't mean anything
unless they actually do it. Now I was on a roll, I then
explained that wanting to shows no commitment and that
she owed it to herself and her husband to commit 100% to
doing whatever she had to do to be the person she was
before the tragedy. Her last words were "Deputy Parsons,
I WILL get through this."
Next, I was called to speak to an 18 year old girl
who had called the crisis hotline. After ascertaining
that she was not suicidal, we began to talk. She told me
that she is failing school and partying too much, but
that her dream is to be in law enforcement. She opened
the door for me. "How are you going to make this dream
happen?" When she looked at me with a blank look, I
explained the concept of Want It, Create It, and Live
It. I told her that if she wanted to make that dream
happen, she had to go to the next step, that she had
already decided what she wanted, but if she didn't
create it, she would be stuck as a want-to-be. So how
was she going to create it? Her first answer was quit
goofing off in school so she could get her diploma. She
then answered that she had just started a job, and she
would perform there to prove responsibility. She also
said she would slow down on the partying. She checks in
with me every now and then to update me how things are
going. I believe she may just pull everything together!
Finally, I was called to deal with a woman who was
majorly depressed and I had to commit her as suicidal.
She called me after she was released from the hospital
and thanked me for doing what I did and talking to her
that night and that she was going to T_Y to get better.
I told her not to T_Y, but to do it because if she only
T___S she is not committed to getting better, she is
only saying that she'll see what happens. At the end of
the conversation, she said she would get better, not
just try.
If I don't get a chance to tell you all in person,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! |

Word Play |
|
"Perspective" means the capacity to view things in their true
relations or relative importance. Leaders with vision have the
ability to see the bigger picture, which gives them a larger, more
encompassing viewpoint. You can see the word used in today's
article in the sentence, "With this understanding, you'll add your
own unique
perspective and come up with your own individual way of
talking about the process of living your life like it
matters." |

Live Life to the Max!!! by
Maria Julia Bernadette dela Cruz |
|
You know when I was in Salt Lake City we had a training
about on the job injuries and fatalities. The instructor
gave us many scenarios on how "death" could come in a flash,
without even thinking about it. One was a woman who was a
secretary in a dental office, between her desk and the lobby
there was an electrical cord that she managed to pass every
single day, well, one day she tripped on it and hit her head
on the corner of the desk then on to the marbled floor, she
died.
Another one was a man who was working in a fabricating
company, he's a welder. They make slot machines, he was
putting up the slot machines on the rack for the final
finish. They sort of look like hangers and the slots were
circulated. They could carry up to 1,000 lbs. In an instant
the slot machine came off the hanger and hit him on the
head, then another, he died.
Chuck, our trainer went on by saying, live your life as
if you'll die at any given time, not even tomorrow, but at
any given moment, you may die. What an eye opener to
everybody, it especially made a big impact on me.
When we're on our break I called my dad, who's coming
home soon thank God, but I called him just to let him know
how much I love him. Then I called my brother in the navy,
then my mom, my sister, my younger brother, my best friend
and my staff.
That story made me think, how do I want people to
remember me when I die? What things do I need to do before I
die? What places have I not seen? People I have yet to
meet... I have a mission which is to do the things I need to
do before I die. And you know when your mindset is this way,
you're doing the things you want to do and need to do as if
you'll die at any given moment, YOU ARE LIVING!
I want to live life! I don't want to die! But there's a
difference between just existing and truly living!
With passion,
HBS MJB |
