Mr Hyde's Other Notebook

100 Days left!

 

Yep, it's that time of the year again!

Long term readers of this blog know that every year I take part in the 100 Day Challenge.
It helps me focus on what I should be doing and what things I should be avoiding.

Conference venue with a difference

I mentioned in my last post I had been doing a series of Creative Thinking Workshops with LCM Health Care. One of these sessions was with the directors of all their Private Hospitals and it was held at Mary MacKillop Place.

They have quite a good conference set up there, with different size spaces available and quite an amazing peaceful atmosphere just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of North Sydney station.

Well worth considering if you were after something a little different. With the gardens, Chapel, Museum and tomb of Mary MacKillop.

Timothy in Hospital again

Actually, I was on assignment, up at the shiny new Mater Hospital in Newcastle. They are very proud of it and rightfully so. It's bright and full of light and I ran a fun half day creativity and problem solving session for their Department heads up there.

This was my 3rd session for the Little Company of Mary Healthcare group. What a great bunch they are too.

 

 

Impossible

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

Life Long Learning

I love Lynda.com It's a fast track way to learn new software, with online videos that are brilliant.

With a new Computer here, a wife who's started TAFE and a bunch of stuff I need to get working as soon as possible, I've resubscribed for a few months. If you have never tried it you really should check it out.

I've also just discovered you can actually get a free one day access pass to the site. Whoo Hoo. It may be all the time you need to learn a new technique! Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com.

The 100 Day Challenge

Goal Setting doesn't need to be a long and laborious process

Just ask yourself these 4 questions...

1/ What should we be doing this year?

2/ What should we stop doing this year?

3/ What should we do differently this year?

4/ What should we keep doing this year?

Answer those 4 honestly and you are half way there.

This is good. Seriously good.

What are you doing in April 2010?

How about joining me on the Gold Coast for the National Speakers Association of Australia Convention.

The Program has just been released and it looks fantastic.

I'm scheduled in as MC for the Saturday Session, which will make the 8th year I have been MC at the prestigious event

I've had a few questions come in about our new book Motivate Your Memory, so I thought I'd cover them here.

Firstly, Who is the target Audience?  Well the book is suitable for and aimed at a wide range of people.

Students, Teachers, Speakers, Sales Professionals, Trivia Buffs are just a few.

But importantly, I hope the readers are people who have in the past seen adverts for highly priced Memory Courses or Books, were interested, but didn't want to invest a lot, just to see if it worked for them!
(Note - we do not try and upsell you to a more expensive course after you read this book. We do actually list a few other resources and a few free options!)

Is there much theory?   NO! We teach the technique and motivate you to put it into practice.
Once you see that it does work, you may like to find out more, but you don't need to.

Do I have to be clever to benefit from this?  No, you just have to be willing to give it a try.
In fact, I suggest in the book that you buy it and then try and teach the skill to someone else. Perhaps a student at school or someone entering the workforce.

Remember the book comes with a money back guarantee and is just $9.50
