August 16 Business Accelerator Workshop

We are very excited about Jay Abraham's return to Asia this September. Having studied Jay's materials and have directly been involved in organizing 4 large scale events from 2005-2007 in Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia, we have a lot of information and content to share with the Hong Kong audience.

Jay's strategies are real time, real world, effective and do not cost a lot of money to implement. They can multiply one's business by up to 500%. He is not interested in 10% or 20% breakthroughs. Everyone has the potential for geometric growth and he gives you idea after idea after idea until you get it.

I'll be running a final workshop on August 16th to share what Jay has taught me and it is for business owners, sales & marketing professionals, entrepreneurs or anyone interested in increasing their bottom line and business results.

The workshop is interactive, engaging and guaranteed, you will walk away with a lot of value. Here's what some participants had to say about our recent workshop:

"Cecilia is incredibly generous in sharing practical business development tips and resources, and she's an engaging, entertaining speaker. So you'll leave with some great ideas that you can apply in your business right away, whether or not you go to the Jay Abraham seminar. I like that Cecilia's introductory workshop isn't a hard sell, unlike some others that I've been to." - Kay Ross, Kay Ross Marketing

"Thanks for this great workshop. I enjoyed it a lot. It was my first time attending this kind of meeting and I didn't really know who Jay Abraham was. But after one hour and a half, I really felt that I had learnt a few of his marketing strategies. They are indeed very simple to implement and won't cost a thing. The only thing that needs a change is your mindset. I came out of this workshop like rejuvenated and full of strength and confidence. Thank you again Cecilia!" - Caroline Fieux, Account Manager, Abacare Hong Kong

"This was 2 hours of great learning of how to increase one's business without a corresponding increase in the marketing budget. We looked at some real cases where some of these strategies could be put into place. It puts a different perspective on marketing." - Mary-Anne Chan, Manager, Client Services, Ernest Maude

"This workshop opened up whole new insights for me in terms of growing my business. It not only touches upon how to treat concepts like risk reversal more effectively and in a broader light. It also starts the process of thinking beyond your current day-to-day business in powerful and exciting (yet very simple) ways." - Martike de Grip, Managing Director, Transcedge Ltd.

July 7 Dynamic Presentation Skills Workshop

Wow! What an amazing workshop we had in May. I was completely knocked over by the quality of presentations from the group and to build on this incredible momentum, I will be running the workshop again on July 7th. Unfortunately we had to turn quite a few people away last month and this workshop is to accomodate those who could not make it and also for us to present one more workshop before the summer holiday season.

The May 19th workshop was a huge success and the magical combination of the day's energy, enthusiasm and the group's participation created some of the most outstanding presentations I have ever seen from this program.

Here are a few comments from the participants:

“This workshop was amazing. It was more than a public speaking workshop. It was empowering, encouraging and I feel big possibilities and opportunities open up for me. Thank you Cecilia. You are a vibrant facilitator and you sure do change people’s lives! After attending the workshop, I realize my speaking is now different, big time. I use my own words, not anyone else’s and it is more powerful than ever.” – Yoko Ogawa, Wellness Educator, NetworkCare Hong Kong

“Shortly after attending this workshop, I delivered a corporate presentation and it was amazing how much I improved and didn't panic! It was by far the best presentation I have ever delivered!” – Ashley Khoo, Senior Investment Manager, HSBC

“I can now control my mind and body to present with total confidence and come across as a successful speaker. I can do it! Thank you so much for this opportunity to grow and to be able to handle a big aspect of my job with confidence. I had a wonderful and impactful experience.” – Lily Lam, Teacher

If you missed out the last time around, be sure to register early! For full registration details, please go to: www.publicspeakinghk.com or email us at: info@biz-results.net.

Look forward to seeing you again very soon!

Upcoming Dynamic Presentation Skills Workshop - May 19

“According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” - Jerry Seinfeld

How do you overcome this NUMBER ONE FEAR - the fear of speaking in public? Fear of death comes in at a close second but the fear of public speaking is what sets off anxiety, panic and a tendency to lose coherency, logic with a temporary freeze of one's capacity to speak intelligible sentences.

This is very common and I have heard this from countless clients who come to me seeking a solution, a remedy, an answer to this illogical sitation where one minute, he/she is a competent, intelligent and very persuasive professional and the next minute because he/she has to speak in front of a group of people, whether it's 10, 50 or 200 (for different people, the scale and intensity of fear symptoms vary with the group size), they experience a temporary brain freeze, they cannot communicate, nervousness and panic overtake them physically, and they speed through whatever they have to say so that they can get off the stage.

Once you get that this fear, this panic, this uncontrollable fright is not real - is the first step to overcoming it. Why is it some people are born for the stage and some would rather sit in a dentist chair and getting a root canal then speak in front of a group? Everyone goes through this stage of fear, even for the world's most accomplished speakers. World leaders, actors, comedians, trainers, motivational speakers - they still experience anxiety from time to time even though they seem "flawless" on stage. They just worked out how to tranform that fear into fuel, strength and confidence.

Basically, anyone can overcome it and see this fear for what it really is - just a perception.

I have been running this workshop for two years now, and at every single workshop, participants experience a dramatic transformation - in just one day! I do not use conventional methods in public speaking training, but rather I focus on each speaker's strength and mindset. It's altering the perception of fear that makes a difference as well as the speaker's physical and mental state that allows them to speak confidently, professionally and effortlessly.

You can get the full details at: http://www.publicspeakinghk.com.

Here are some comments from past participants:

"It was a truly life changing experience for me and I can't thank you enough for the support you showed me as did the whole group in my moments of self doubt. I can approach future challenges in a much more positive way now and actually look forward to opportunities to speak to groups rather than dreading it!" - Michael Fawdry, Director, Ernest Maude Continental Investments Limited.

“Because I have managed to avoid public speaking for the last 15 years, the hurdle to step up in front of people was huge. Through the help of Cecilia and the open feedback of the course participants I did a final speech at the end of the day. I never thought I would do a speech with only 15 minutes preparation without using any notes. Two weeks after the course, I did a speech in front of 70 people, something I would have never considered in a million years prior to attending the public speaking course.” – Brigitte Weber

"Cecilia's workshop gets right down to work and has all participants learning the techniques and practicing right away, each receiving constant constructive feedback. It’s one of the fastest ways to polish one’s presentation skills I’ve ever experienced." - Brett S. Cameron, Sales Director, REDEV Properties of Canada

"This workshop completely changed how I feel about standing to speak in front of a crowd. Far from being something I dread as was previously the case, giving a speech is now something I welcome as an opportunity to share some meaningful information and connect with a group. My outlook has been transformed to what is possible in my career because of the communication skills learned and the confidence gained in presenting to a larger audience. There is no doubt that this was the catalyst that made me decide to launch my own business. My expectations of the day were far exceeded and I look forward to attending the next one!" - Peter Armstrong, Break Free - STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD.

I will be posting some instructional video clips along with additional resource materials on this topic shortly so stay tuned!

Back from Beautiful Gold Coast, Australia

After a whirlwind and momentous week with Tony Robbins at Date with Destiny, there are many stories to tell, many experiences to share and beautiful breakthroughs to ponder.

It was without a doubt, a memorable week back in sunny Gold Coast with Tony at DWD 2007. This year was a record in terms of number of participants and Tony delivered again, day after day, life-transforming breakthroughs for everyone present from 32 countries.

The message of love and contribution was very clear. What was most endearing to me is the connection with friends I have not seen in a very long time and embracing new friends who gave their hearts out to step up to the next level.

It is a very special place to spend a week out of your life. People smile, greet you with a hug and all masks are put away for a while as the core of who you really are "show up" and play a game together that gives everyone purpose, meaning and a very compelling future.

Having (very fortunately and undeniably grateful for having) been through this for 3 times already, my 4th DWD was clear with a simple message - "YES"! Tony went through an exercise towards the end that empowered the entire crowd to believe in YES and imagine what the world would be like if embraced life with a simple YES! It was truly magnificent and a sight to behold.

LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

Date with Destiny 2006

Date with Destiny 2007

I am so pleased to have the opportunity to once again, share the impact of this transformational program with my clients. I have been involved in promoting Anthony Robbins' programs since 2002. My first Date with Destiny as a participant was in April of 2003 and I have since been back every year as a staff member, supporter and participant. Every year my learning is enhanced with new revelations and insights as I continue on my personal journey with my destiny.

I promote many different types of events and this one is truly exceptional for those who are seeking strategies and a transformation in their understanding of life purpose, relationships and their personal road-map to success.

How can I describe Date with Destiny? It is so difficult to summarize into words that will do the program justice. I would only begin to say that it is a rock concert, the most revealing mirror you can ever sit across from, a real look at the relationships in your life, an opportunity to re-ignite the most important relationship in your life and a clear path as to what your life purpose is.

It is such an emotionally charged, energizing and riveting 6 days of self awareness, personal conviction and relationship breakthroughs. You can experience a little bit of this by watching this video montage: click here to view a video clip of Date with Destiny 2006.

Judith DeLozier in Hong Kong!

Lead with Passion - March 3-4, 2007

I am so excited that Judith will be back in Hong Kong next month. Last year, I, along with a group of NLP fans, attended her "3rd Generation NLP" program and it was truly transformational. I learn from so many great teachers and Judith totally takes the lead as one of the most prolific, congruent and spell-binding masters as she generously shared and demonstrated many powerful tools over two days.

The NLP tools I learned were not only cutting edge (and completely new to those in this field) but the best part is I learned many of them at the unconscious level. I found that since May, I have used many of these incredibly powerful and practical tools during a coaching session or when consulting with a client. They would just “show up” and granted, the processes would be tailored or modified to suit that particular situation but the fact that I gained the knowledge and skills at the “unconcious competence” level at such a rapid rate is what’s most impressive.

Her upcoming "Lead with Passion" event is not to be missed. Judith is one of the original co-developers of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and has made fundamental contributions to the development of many core NLP models and processes in the last 30 years.

From what I understand, she will be taking the concepts from 3rd Generation NLP and tailor specifically to how to apply them within a leadership model. A very powerful tool - "sponsorship" is what I've been practicing since last year and it changes lives. It is so incredibly useful, effective and amalgamates our self awareness, relationships and transformation. The promoter has done a fantastic job of presenting all this information online. Click here to read about 3rd Generation NLP.

There's also a video clip of Judy and you will see me in the corner being a very attentive student :-). Watch the clip here.

If you would like more info, please drop me a line and I am more than happy to share my notes from last year. You should definitely get yourself to this event if you are in Hong Kong!

David Cavanagh's Internet Marketing Seminar

The Top 3 Things I Learned From David:

1. Use a blog to promote your business

2. Creating an online product is easy once you know what the tools and resources are

3. How to drive traffic to your website

There was so much info - I am still going through all my notes.

Thank you David for such an amazing and useful weekend!

Seminars & Workshops Update Feb 2007

Do We Really Learn From Attending Seminars?

I have been a promoter for many years, promoting various gurus, seminars and workshops in Hong Kong and Asia. What has been a bonus for me is that I have had access to all this content from a very privileged vantage point. Although I am now out of the business, I am still an avid learner and very committed to continuing my personal and career growth. I truly believe that by attending a seminar, you can achieve accelerated growth. The question is whether you will take action upon what you have learned.

Here is a summary of the seminars I have attended in 2006/2007:

March 2006 - World Internet Summit in Sydney
April 2006 - Anthony Robbins' Date with Destiny in Gold Coast
May 2006 - 3rd Generation NLP with Judith Delozier in Hong Kong
May 2006 - National Achievers Congress in Singapore
June 2006 - BNI (Business Network Int'l) Conference in Kuala Lumpur
July 2006 - Dolf de Roos' Real Estate Riches in Singapore
August 2006 - Jay Abraham's Strategic Business Building Weekend in Kuala Lumpur
September 2006 - John deMartini's Breakthrough Experience in Brisbane
November 2006 - World Internet Summit in Singapore
January 2007 - Jay Abraham's Private Strategic Partnership in Bali
February 2007 - David Cavanagh's Internet Marketing Seminar in Pattaya

What have I learned and where am I now after attending all these events? Well, I am now on my way to launching my online and consulting business. These amazing teachers have given me the blueprint and success formula to move forward. All I need to do is to take action. I think that is the number one set-back to the time investment in such programs. We can get very complacent and while inspired and motivated during the event, upon returning home and back to the old routine, we get stuck and feel that it was just an expensive temporary "rah-rah" experience.

However, I am here to share about the recent internet seminar presented by David which I have found so incredibly useful and practical and that is why this very blog exists - because David showed me step by step on how to get started online.

My partner and I have been interested in starting our online business after attending the WIS in 2006 but felt we didn't have the right technical skills thus nothing was created until after we attended David's seminar. We are creative people, we help people offline and we consult with many clients on strategic marketing but we lacked the technical know-how to get started.

The 2-day event was not only practical and extremely useful but it has given me so much confidence to move forward. I am very pleased to announce that we will be launching our website in March 0f 2007 and this would not have happened without David. Click here to find out more about David.

Not only did we gain tremendous confidence and learned so much about how to get started online, we also met 50+ other "netpreneurs" from all around the world - the UK, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai, etc. It was such a great weekend. Set in a little cozy resort in Pattaya Beach, Thailand, David went all out to look after us throughout the event. He organized evening dinners and even a caberet show. I highly recommend this seminar!
