Over here at Sheri McConnell Companies, Inc. (the parent company of this association), we’ve been working hard on the liquidation of one of our most popular programs – the Create Your Group program.  We just recently recorded a new audio about the liquidation with new, never-been-shared information on membership-based businesses and we wanted to get a copy of that out to you.

The audio is about thirty minutes long and there are some really, really great nuggets in there and a few ah-has along the way!

You can download it here:

If you’re contemplating purchasing this program, I am doing free 15-minute consultations during the liquidation with those who have questions about the Create Your Group program and around building membership-based businesses.  To schedule those simply contact my assistant Brenda at brenda@sherimcconnell.com.

…a disruptive technology, a new idea, a scientific theory.

It’s rare, but it does happen.

Well, one such item recently came across my desk…

…and I suddenly realized, “Wow this is unprecedented. This is new.  This is groundbreaking.”

What is it?

It’s a brand new book (and teleseminar series… more on that in a moment) by my friend and colleague, Dr. Larina Kase, called The Confident Leader: How the Most Successful People Go from Effective to Exceptional.

http://www.ConfidentLeaderBook.com/sheri

The Confident Leader combines cutting-edge research and on-the-ground experience to give you a formula for…

…consistently and reliably breaking through your comfort zone — at will.

Larina has actually “cracked the code” to breaking through your comfort zone, predictably and with scientific precision…

…and backs that statement up with over 10 years of research (she’s a Doctor of Psychology and served as a clinical faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania)…

…and countless clients of hers breaking through to new levels of achievement that they previously considered impossible.

You’ll find interviews with business leaders such as Seth Godin, Tim Sanders, Joe Vitale, and 7 equally incredible authors and experts.

She’s also a giver. So today, when you pick up your copy of The Confident Leader, she’ll be giving you access to:

1. An unprecedented LIVE 11-part Confident Leadership Telesummit with world-class experts in business, self-development, and leadership.

2. A selection of exclusive bonus gifts that Larina hand-picked herself from highly qualified and respected experts – definitely not the typical overload of bonuses no single human being could ever actually utilize

I’m happy to say that I’m one of the bonus contributors. It’s wonderful to participate in promoting such an important and groundbreaking book.

This is truly too remarkable a book (and overall offer) to miss: http://www.ConfidentLeaderBook.com/sheri

You’ll be very, very glad you did (and a better, more confident leader because of it).

To your success,
Sheri

I have an amazing video to share–please take 18 minutes today and watch this video: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/229

It is very, very powerful. I think it helps you understand why people think the way they do. This one helped me understand on so many levels what I am to do with my own life and also as a mother. Now I understand that my children may be more geared to think in a certain way–my job is to engage them and help them develop both sides of the brain and be more balanced in their lives. Take care and make sure to come back and post your reactions.

By Damaria Senne

I recently met a young woman who made me think about the impact our words – as writers and speakers and human beings – have on the people around us.

I was sitting in the reception room of the South African Broadcasting Corporation, waiting for someone from the Current Affairs department to come get me for an interview.

The woman was in her mid-to- late twenties, well-dressed and looked a bit nervous. So I thought she was an interview subject for one of the shows. That is, until she mentioned she was at the studios to intercept a radio presenter who was on air.

“Is it a scheduled meeting? Does he know you’re here?” I asked. Maybe I’ve been watching too much TV, but the words “stalker” kept flashing in my mind.

“It’s a woman, not a man” the fan said with a soft smile. “And no, she doesn’t know I’m here. I’ve brought her a gift.”

I’d never heard of the presenter she was there to see, but then I don’t listen to much radio or music for that matter. Words and visuals are my thing.

But I marveled at the kind of pull the presenter has to inspire someone to get up very early on a Sunday morning, travel for whatever distances it was to bring her a gift on the off-chance that they would meet outside the studios. Then there’s the question of whether the presenter would be gracious about being waylaid after shift by a stranger and/ accept the gift…

What words or deeds inspired this kind of love? Did the presenter ever pause to wonder what portion of her radio patter touched someone to this extent? Or was she simply out there, getting on with her job and hoping that the audiences like her enough for the broadcaster to renew her contract?

As generally happens on a busy day, I soon put the fan out of my mind and got on with the business of life. Until I got home and checked my emails.

One of the emails was from a gentleman called Osborne. He reminded me that we met 15 years ago, in taxi from a Johannesburg to Nelspruit (it’s a 4 and half hour trip, so conversation with fellow-passengers was inevitable). He says I told him I’m a writer on assignment, write about family issues and his feeling was I had a passion for my craft.

“Your inspiration led me to write a silly novellete in 1995, which I’ve not yet published,” Osborne writes.

I remember the trip, although the passage of time has smudged many of the details. Most importantly, I don’t even know why my face stuck in Osborne’s mind, or what I said to him that made him take pen to paper and write the novellete.

But I’m grateful our meeting and the words we exchanged had a positive impact on his life, however small that impact may have been. I’m happy that when he saw me on TV, he took the pains to look for my contact details online and emailed me to tell me how much he appreciated that we met.

I’m also conscious that when you’re in the business of sharing words, thoughts and opinions with other people, you affect them in ways you never fully grasp. While you’re getting on with your business, writing to meet the next deadline, your words stay with the readers. And sometimes, these words change lives.

So, as a writer/speaker and human being, how are your words impacting on your readers and the people you meet?
