Goal Getting... What Do You Want?

By Scott V. Black

Hello Empower U Leadership Team. It is a Great Day to Be Alive. There are so many exciting things happening in my life and the life of Empower U. My dreams of becoming the company that “We could have Been” are clear and coming to life. As I “Re-Start” visioning our HBS Corporate Retreat Center / Day Spa here in Texas, and as I am getting back to Goal Getting Empower U into the future… the intoxication of those dreams are delicious! (How about those gustatory predicates…Can you smell it…can you taste it?)

Since I always write about the things that are present in my life, I would like to talk about Goal Getting…What do you want? I am getting clearer and clearer about what I want. The time is Now, to continue putting the pieces in place that will allow Empower U to thrive, and to DIS-continue the “Good Nuff” strategy of surviving month to month. I am a gifted trainer and curriculum writer, however as a business person…UP UNTIL NOW! If I worked for myself I would have fired me years ago! By the grace of God, Empower U is still in existence even with a CEO that has been preoccupied in some personal dilemmas that were self created. Now that all that is fixed and He is back on course, there is a sense of urgency to “Raise the Bar” for Empower U and become a positive force on a global scale!

Part of the outcome of our training is that people leave with a new direction a new excitement, a new passion for their personal and business life. Most people come out of our training with commitment to make some “things” happen. People know what they want, what is really important and they have some “goals” in place to get there. We have our students ask and answer the three questions all true leaders ask themselves...

Two Ways You Can Make A Difference

We're looking for Graduates who are ready to make a difference in the lives of others. You can help two ways:

1. Sign up to staff an upcoming Leadership Awakening or Leadership Adventure class. It costs you nothing but your time and makes a huge difference - not only for the class you staff, but also for you!
2. Sponsor someone you care about. It's easy to do and you can make payments. It's a great way to make a difference in the life of someone you love.

Call the office at (775) 575-2298 or email us to get started.

Also note that we've added another Iowa Awakening class August 9-11. Check the schedule. The Leadership Adventure schedule now extends through the end of the year.

Does Your Teen Need a New Focus?

Do you recall how difficult your teenage years were for you?

Folsom Psychotherapist, Kelly Robinson works with teens every day. She knows first hand their struggles and the new problems they face these days. And every year, she endorses our class, Teen Awakening.

Why? Here are Kelly's own words as printed in her weekly Teen Talk column for the Sacramento Bee newspaper. This is from her July 13, 2007 column:

DEAR READERS: Every summer, I alert "Teen Talk" readers to a weekend workshop for teenagers held in Sacramento once a year. It is put on by Empower U, a Dallas company that promotes communication, leadership, motivation, self-awareness and accountability.

The workshop is a challenging process that guides teenagers to see their true potential and make goals that will help in the future. This year's class will be offered July 26-28. The workshop is not cheap, but it is well worth it...

Thank you, Kelly, for those kind words.

As you see from Kelly's article, this class is offered once a year. We do our best to make sure that the teens who attend Teen Awakening discover a renewed sense of purpose and focus as well as a clear vision for their future. Imagine what you might have done if you'd had these tools when you were a teenager...

July 26 is right around the corner. We still have some spots available in the teen class. Give this gift to help your teen know who they are... contact the office at (775) 827-6901 or email by clicking here.
