"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy."

~  Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Today's Message

Light Your Candle...

If you're a graduate of Leadership Awakening, you remember how powerfully your graduation ceremony affected you. You probably also remember the crowd of well-wishers who attended and cheered you on.

Hopefully, you've had the opportunity to attend a graduation ceremony since your own. Those who do always comment about how it brings them back to their post-graduation clarity, focus and commitment—how it re-lights their candle. In fact, we encourage you to do whatever you can to attend the next graduation in your area. It'll be a great recharge for you.

On the other hand, many of you don't have the opportunity to attend graduations. Either you live too far away or have other obligations that prevent attending. Because many of our graduates are in this situation, we're creating a DVD called, appropriately enough, "Light Your Candle."

This DVD, recorded last year, shows the entire graduation ceremony presented by Scott V. Black, the Master Trainer and CEO of Empower U. It captures all the beauty and intensity of the graduation process live as it happens. Watching this video is like being in the audience for a graduation. It's that powerful.

We're in final production of the DVD right now and plan on releasing it by mid-June. This DVD will offer you the chance to re-light your candle by attending a powerful and inspiring virtual graduation ceremony. The beauty of the DVD is that you can attend at a time and place right for you. If you can't attend a graduation in person, or even if you can and want to have this powerful reminder available to you whenever you like, stay tuned for the upcoming announcement when we release "Light Your Candle."

 

Under Construction

Beginning Saturday, June 3, 2006, Empower U's CEO and Master Trainer, Scott V. Black will be hosting a one-hour radio show on 1360 Biz Radio in Dallas and Houston. The show, called "Under Construction with Mr. Black," will give a wider audience exposure to some of the principles and concepts presented in Empower U's Leadership Experience classes.

Don't live in Dallas or Houston? No problem. You can also hear the show streaming live on the Internet from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm (Central time), which is 10:00-11:00 Pacific time and 1:00-2:00 Eastern time. The show will run on Saturdays at these times every week.

If you want to listen to the show on the Internet, use this link at the time above and select your favorite media program (Windows Media or iTunes). You'll be connected immediately to the live show.

In addition, shortly after each show airs, you'll have the ability to listen to the recorded version on the Empower U web site. This will allow you to listen whenever it's most convenient to you.

Like all of our graduates, we at Empower U are constantly under construction, doing everything possible to help our graduates live their mission in life every day. The Under Construction radio show is another example of this commitment. Take time to listen in and add this to your list of tools you use to help yourself keep focused on what's really important to you.

Making a Difference - Fr. Israel Gonsalves

Fr. Israel Gonsalves of the Carmelite Friars runs an orphanage in Mbeya, Tanzania. The orphans are many and their material needs great. Scott V. Black met Fr. Gonsalves when they attended their Masters NLP training together. Scott was very impressed with his kindness and the joy he radiated to everyone.

Because of this, and our desire to make a difference in the world, Empower U is choosing to support the orphanage run by Fr. Gonsalves. We are sending a care package of school supplies, toiletries and toys for the orphans. These kids have almost nothing.

Why are we mentioning this to you, our graduates? Partly because we greatly admire the work Fr. Gonsalves is doing and want you to know about it. We'd love you to help make a difference by donating some school supplies: pencils, rulers, erasers, glue, scissors, colored pencils, markers, crayons - all these are needed.

We are also asking for donations of small (6 to 8 inches) stuffed animals. These are so comforting to the children. The reason for smaller ones is to keep the shipping costs down. We're hoping to send over 100 stuffed animals for these kids. They would be a great blessing for them.

If you are moved to make a difference in the lives of these children by donating school supplies, small stuffed animals or money, please phone the office at (775) 575-2298 or email by clicking here. We are planning to send this out by the first of June, so please act now if you'd like to help.

Remember: When you live your life like it matters... it does!
