Sand in Your Shoes!

A leisurely stroll on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in the cool of the afternoon. Starfish & sand dollars gracefully floating on the surf... Does that sound like a scene you could enjoy? It is possible...
New View Publications offers intensive training sessions in Applied Control Theory on Hilton Head Is., SC Jan. 16-19, 2012. Understanding & using 'Control Theory' principles provide the skills necessary to find balance in life and "become the person you want to be" in any situation. Does that sound interesting or useful?

"The Gift That Keeps On Giving"

"Tis the Season" ...as the saying goes, but for what? A season to spread peace, love and joy and to give the gift that keeps on giving. “What gift is that?” you say. The ability to live your life in balance and survive an otherwise "wild & crazy world" is priceless. To be able to perceive the world around you in a way that makes sense and allows you to be in control of your actions is one of the best possible gifts you can ever receive.

"Where do you find such a gift" you ask? It can be opened during training sessions offered by New View Publications http://newviewpublications.com/ and Be-Print for Living, Inc. (http://www.be-print.net/) in the near future. Visit their websites for more information. January 16-19 finds New View hosting a session at Hilton Head, SC and Be-Print's session is in Charlotte, NC March 20-22. Both welcome any and all participants who are interested in learning more. The participatory sessions teach participants the basic concepts of Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) and how to effectively apply them to one's daily life.

Life can be very stressful for many, particularly during this time of year. By understanding the application of PCT concepts, you have the opportunity to “be the person you want to be.” Join us so you too can unwrap that wonderful gift. You will keep it for a lifetime.

Friday's activities will concentrate on two areas. Faculty members will participate in sharing sessions with focus on areas/clients they are currently working with to share PCT instruction.

Tick, Tick, Tick...

Faculty Retreaters,
Set your clock (for Thursday evening), check your luggage (all clean undies), bring your "What I am Doing" 'share & tell', be ready for an enlightening & informative weekend of interaction. And, by all means, do not forget to do your homework - reading (or listening to) "The Speed of Trust". There is a lot of language in "TSOT" that parallels and reinforces what we teach.

See you Thursday evening. Don't forget your toothbrush!
