Are You Uncomfortable? Why Not?
By Scott V. Black
Hello Empower U Leadership Team. How are you doing today? Is it
a great day to be alive?
I am getting closer to the Scott V. Black that I was put on this planet to be…
Empower U’s classes are filling up and that means… LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED!
Check out the schedule here. We now have our dates scheduled through the end of
2007 and into the New Year.
As I write this article, I just got back from Iowa. We had a great experience
guiding Team 501 through Leadership Awakening. Mr. Upchurch, myself and two of
my children, Faith and Christian, drove up to Iowa from Dallas. I conducted team
501’s Leadership Awakening and then we went to the Iowa State Fair.
The Parriotts and the Engelmans joined us as we ate deep fried Twinkies, Oreos
and Snickers. On Sunday we went to church with the Engelmans and then we drove
back to Texas. Before we knew it… it was 12 hours later and we were driving onto
our property.
Even though I am glad I went to the fair, I was very
uncomfortable on Saturday night...

Schedule Highlights |
Adventure Calls...
Leadership Adventure starts where Leadership Awakening leaves
off. It completes the second part of the Leadership Experience
and amplifies your leadership skills by 4-5 times more than what
you experienced in Leadership Awakening! Hard to believe?
Listen to this Adventure Graduate:
"Adventure certainly took things to a whole new level for
me... I really "got" Awakening from taking Adventure... I
like to tell people it was Anthony Robbins meets Survivor."
~ Eric Bradley, Adventure Team 136
There are only two open Adventure Dates through the end of
this year. Have you grabbed your spot yet? If not, contact us
right away to schedule. Call the office at (775) 575-2298 or

Disconnection
Have you ever found it to be easy for you to
“accidentally” disconnect from people? Have you ever had
a friend that you would talk to often, maybe daily, and
then, little by little, you just drifted apart? I’ve
been feeling that way lately, and I have only myself to
blame! I’ve allowed myself to drift away from one of my
favorite places on the Web – our Forum! It’s been two
weeks since I checked in. I asked everyone to post their
August goals, then never posted mine! I guess I can do
mid-month goals at this point! I’ve had “valid
explanations” for my absence – I’ve been on the road a
LOT this summer, and when I finally returned home I was
met with one fried computer, one powerless wireless
router, and lots of frustration! The past week has been
a series of calamities and mishaps on my way to
restoring some sense of techno-normalcy to our home.
Here’s a lesson for you: don’t let teenagers use your
computer! If they want on-line, make them get their own!
That way, when they see a message that says “error
loading operating system”, you can hug your own computer
a little tighter and be ever-more grateful for firewalls
and virus protection! But I digress… The interesting
thing about losing connections is that it becomes all
too easy to just let the connection stay lost. It
reminds me of cell phones – when your call gets dropped
the third time, your desire to call back has
significantly waned! So you decide to forget it because
it’s just too much trouble. Conversation ended.
Connection lost. If you’ve been feeling that way about
your Empower U “family”, I’m here to tell you to STOP!!
While I know that the Forum has happily gone on without
me, I also know that I’ll be welcomed back with open
cyber-arms, as will anyone who decides to join any
conversation at any time! You can’t drift too far away
from this Team – we’re always here for you, and we’ll
always enjoy your participation! As for me…I’ll be
posting those goals very soon! That’s one of my FIRST
goals! Get connected! (Or maybe it’s RE-connected!!)
We’ll see you at The Forum! |

My Awakening, by George Boyko,
Team 479 |
|
When I was informed that I needed to go to the "Leadership
Awakening" training I thought to myself, "What can anyone
possibly teach me that I don't already know?"
A former U.S. Army Ranger who also went through many
years of management training seminars and classes, I learned
a lot from the different philosophies and those considered
to be the top leadership educators in the industry.
My colleagues, peers, and superiors that went before me
kept telling me that I will enjoy it, just trust the
process. I asked many questions and it was like breaking
into Fort Knox. No one would say a word, which frustrated me
even more. So I thought I would just do it and check off
another box for company training.
As I progressed through the training things started to
come together. I must say that this was one of the best
training exercises that I went through since my grueling
days in the military.
What I learned was what I had slowly lost through the
past 30 years of my life. I found my strength, and how to
tap into my energy again. I couldn't believe that I was able
to do things some believe to be "SUPER NATURAL" that I took
for granted in my earlier years.
Talk about walking on air. I was higher than a kite the
day we graduated and to this day will never let that energy
get away from me again. I am thankful to those that sent me
and will keep an open mind when told to "TRUST THE PROCESS"
- HEART, BODY, and SOUL. |
