Dear All

This is lifted 'cut-n-paste' style from the Wonderful Kelly and Becca's Blog spot.

Not sure all the links will work as well as it does on their blog AND I really think you'd like to subscribe to their blog anyway... so, here's the direct linK:

Hey there party people! We are stoked about introducing you to our fantastically humorous and magnificently brilliant new British mate, Lex. We like to call him Lexi- Darling because, well it just sounds so wonderfully British! Lex McKee came into our lives several months ago when we were welcomed into the Psycho Geometrics family as 2 of the 34 licensed consultants. We knew Lex through the world wide web of course, but got the chance to meet him in the flesh a couple weeks ago at the Psycho Geometrics World Conference and became fast friends.

Not only is Lex fun to kick it with, but he's an amazing professional speaker, author, entertainer, producer and artist! We wanted to give you a little taste of what Sir Lex is all about so we did a low cost, no production time video shoot of him (because that's how we roll) so that we could easily share it with you. So we invite you to check out his bio, the video and read the text synopsis and please feel free to cruise his web-site(s) too!

7 Steps Towards a Life to the Full

1 Move towards, not away from. Every time you find yourself not wanting something to happen, ask yourself, "what would I rather have?" Then move towards more of that.

2 Nutrition - feed on good thoughts. The most important words for you as an individual are your "I am..." statements. Make sure you are only saying positive things about yourself, your skills and your attitudes.

3 Reproduction - find someone new to share your best ideas, skills and attitudes with.

4 Excretion - clear your clutter (emotionally, psychologically, or physically)Get rid of "stinking thinking!"

Jump Ahead in 2008

Interest in our new Open Programme (Friday 25th January, in Dorset) is increasing.

This programme is your opportunity to:

• Get hands-on experience of our top Accelerated Learning methodologies and tools
• Meet with like-minded educational enthusiasts
• Walk away with a career-development pathway that will help you jump ahead in 2008

Your chance to become an accredited 'Registered Accelerated Trainer' or 'Registered Accelerated Teacher' begins early next year! http://www.learnfast.co.uk/page.asp?s=Solutions&p=tatprog08

(The awful confession is that teaching and training doesn't really work as well as we'd like it to.  The key reason being interference.  Interference is what happens if you try to learn two things that are too similar, eg, Spanish and German.  Ideally, you'd want to make sure your lessons are widely separated in the timetable AND that you have a different teacher and class for each.  With most teaching, training and development, we are fighting first for the mind's attention, and then for it's ongoing attention long enough for the message to be properly integrated.  Typically, folks will come on a workshop full of enthusiasm and good intentions to apply their learning.  However, the fact is that once the workshop is over, other factors will clamour for their attention and interference will steal the long-term valuable return on investment they would have otherwise received.

Here at LearnFast, we offer a better return on investment - and, ultimately, Career Development.  Knowing the demands on people's time and attention, this workshop is set within the context of a learning campaign.  Those who elect of this option can go on to a mentoring and then coaching support schedule that will use the impact of the highly charged initial workshop on 25th January to drive their portfolio development throughout 2008 and beyond.  If you want to know more, email me and I'll send you links to the development pathway.  lexstudios@aol.com )

Introduction to the MESSAGE Model of Accelerated Learning

One of the most important aspects of our mission is to work with In-House Learning and Development specialists to deliver our key content in their own way within their own culture. Long-term training partners of LearnFast World, Ron Skea and Azmi Basir, delivered the accredited ThinkFast programme to Velux, Scotland. Here‘s what their participants said...

Our new programme for Training Journal on Advanced Negotiation Skills is based on the former programme by Larry Reynolds. One of the highlights of Larry‘s programme is his 12 suggested creativity techniques. These tie in perfectly with the work of Roger von Oeuk and Edward de Bono, and have inspired me to tie them into the 12 months of the year - as a kind of memory system. This then led to the idea of creating a Creativity Calendar - so it is my pleasure to share this with you for free here as a download for each month.
