International Airport North, 9001 Airport Road).
The event’s keynote speaker will be Bruce D Schneider—Master Certified
Coach and founder of iPEC—who personally shares the transformational
power behind The Slingshot Effect, a unique phenomenon that occurs
when a significant amount of pressure builds up within and around us.
By imply learning how to release this pressure , one can be at the
cause of his or her life —and create a ripple effect of extraordinary
results.

SHIFT events demonstrate the latest cutting-edge approaches and
innovative strategies — many of which apply directly to Schneider’s
Slingshot theory — to consciously create sustainable change, foster
new ideas, develop partnerships, and generate new solutions. These
approaches can be beneficial to leading change in one’s personal and
professional life — and to facilitate change in others.

“SHIFT is a movement emerging from these challenging, yet exciting
times,” commented Luke D. Iorio, President, iPEC Coach Training. “
The event is intended for professionals, leaders, and change agents
who want to see positive change happen and seek support and ideas for
new ways to progress. It is a gathering of like-minded people who who
wish to seize and create opportunities, and make a significant
difference in the world. “

The event also sheds the spotlight on the Core Energy Coaching™
process, the most effective change process and leadership framework in
use today. . Core Energy Coaching will be integrated into the
evening’s workshops and presentations. Core Energy Coaching ™ is also
a profession, and one that offers highly qualified experts the
opportunity to experience career fulfillment as well as financial
security.

This is the second SHIFT event to occur. The first event took place
last November in Chicago; additional events are scheduled for New
Jersey (March 4) and planned nationwide.

The event features Creating a SHIFT Through Coaching, a breakout
session with two of iPEC’s top senior coaches—Keith Miller, PCC and
Deborah Van de Grift, PCC—where participants will explore “Coach
Approach” fundamentals; learn key elements of iPEC’s unique
breakthrough core energy coaching process, and develop a clear,
personalized plan to create SHIFT’s in the lives and careers of
others… and also in one’s self.

Included with registration is an autographed copy of Bruce D
Schneider’s bestselling book “Energy Leadership.”

No More New Year’s Resolutions, Make promises Instead

January 1st, 2010

We’re about to see yet another year pass on the calendar, and a new one begin. And my guess is, you’re about to make another resolution you’re not going to keep. Doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity! So let’s try something different this year. Let’s get serious.

1. First, let’s make a promise to yourself.

I’m asking you to make a commitment to yourself. A promise to yourself to go after that change that’s been in the back of your mind, perhaps for the past year, but likely for much longer than that. What dreams or goals have been burning beneath the surface that you would love to go after? What promise do you want to make to yourself for the coming year? Make a promise… and make it a big one!

2. Second, let’s apply some peer pressure.

Peer pressure can have a huge advantage; it doesn’t need to be a negative. Tell the promise you have made to yourself to at least 10 people. That’s right, I’m asking you to not keep this promise to yourself. I’m asking you to put it out there for others to see, to hold yourself accountable, and to ask them to help you follow through. When you state your intention to others, it strongly encourages and compels you to follow through. They will inadvertently keep you accountable just because you don’t want to disappoint them. State your intentions, your promise, to a group of likeminded achievers, and you’ll have a fan club in your back pocket who will keep you charged up, who will re-energize you if your momentum wanes, and who will remind you of your promise to yourself. (Need a fan club? Go to Facebook and tell the iPEC fans your promise. Believe me, they’ll be happy to keep you accountable!)

3. And last, but definitely not least, let‘s add some gratitude!

When you show appreciation on a daily basis, it puts a smile on your face. It gives you energy that will motivate you to keep your promise -and that can keep you running for months on end. Gratitude fills you up with powerful, anabolic energy. Energy that builds, that rejuvenates, and that drives purpose.

It’s been iPEC’s purpose - actually it’s been our promise - to help others live empowered lives, recognizing that they always have a choice, and that they always have the ability to create massive, powerful change.

This year, IPEC promises to help tens of thousands of people through coaching- and we want you to make sure that we follow through on our promise! As part of this promise we’ll make sure that our students, and in turn their clients, learn how to make coaching part of their everyday approach to life. We promise to help more and more audiences, individuals, and organizations understand the dramatic impact that coaching can have on their lives and careers. We promise to help those struggling with change understand that coaching is the answer. We’re changing the world, in partnership with our coaches, one person at a time!

Make your promise, and together let’s make change happen.

Luke

P.S. And becoming a coach isn’t a bad idea either!
