January 2008

 Greetings Everyone!

 Happy New Year's Resolution!!

How many of us start out our new year with the best of intentions? I know I do, but by Valentine's Day, I'm a little wobbly reaching my goal line. One of the hardest things for me to do is to stay on task.  There is just too much life that catches my attention - the phone, kids, appointments, work, shopping, laundry, dishes - oh, the dishes, where do they all come from! I'm sure we could all make a long list of the things that knock us off track.  The trick is not how to keep from falling off your mark, that is part of life, but the more important thing is how to get back up and get on with it.   
 
In the past few years I have had the privilege to be exposed to some of the best minds in the business; Speakers, Writers, Webmasters, Internet Marketers, Coaches and more.  I am aware many people who read this newsletter are not full time Personality Trainers/Coaches, but most of us are "doing business" somewhere and can apply the information shared in this newsletter to some part of our businesses, ministries, jobs, friendships and families.
 
Being exposed to new ideas is one step in the process of growth.  Over the coming years I hope to share many of the wonderful blogs, websites, teleseminars, and articles that I have been privileged to experience. Scroll down farther in the newsletter to read a great blog. 
 
If you would like to submit an article or blog, that you feel will benifit other trainer/coaches in their work, please email the link or article to me at kathryn@personalityprinciples.com
 
Blessings,
Kathryn

Today's Prayer
This week's site:
 
 Today's Prayer

Dear God, You have instructed me to not be anxious, worrisome, overly concerned for any thing...but instead to bring everything to you in prayer and thanksgiving. If I do this, you have promised me that your peace, which passes all understanding, shall keep my heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). I come to you now for myself and on behalf of my brothers and sisters in Christ, and  for those who suffer so much due to anxiety and depression. I pray that you will fill us with your peace; that you will touch our minds and remind us that we do not need to worry. You are our God and maker. You will handle it for us. Worrying does no good. May we lean into you, talk with you, spend time in your Word and before the throne of grace. May we fellowship with other Christians, those who will encourage us, even more so as the day approaches. Right now, this day, we give you our concerns and ask that you will work out all to our good and your glory. Thank you, Father, for loving us and carrying our burdens. Thank you, Father, for providing our needs. Thank you, Father, for Jesus Christ our Savior and the hope He has given. For it is in His name I pray, amen.


If you have a prayer request or would like to join the payer chain please email at this address.
Research  Opportunity
 
I need kids! 
Ages 9 - 14, third - eighth grade. 
 
Recently, I had the opportunity to talk to several eighth grade classes on how our personality and emotional needs effect our choices.  As I was preparing for these talks I felt the need to create a new youth profile.  Now I'm looking for children who would be willing to test out this new profile and see if it is accurate and simple to understand.
 
If you have access to children between third and eighth grade (they don't have to be your own children) who would be willing to field test this new profile, please email me with your mailing address and I will send you up to five profiles to use with your children.
 
I will need a copy of the results mailed back to me, along with a short questionnaire that I need you to fill out.  
 
I hope to have these new profiles available for download from the website shortly, but first, I want to make sure they work correctly and are of benefit to the Personality Trainers who will be using them.  I feel we can make a great impact in our schools with this inexpensive and easy system.  A new shorter adult profile and a darling preschool profile are in the works too, so keep your eyes open for them, we will need these field tested also.
 
If you have any questions or comments contact me at 
or call  314-6161-8101
 
Thank you!  Thank you ! Thank you!

Personality Training Seminars         

 
Save the dates!
 
 
Basic Personality Principles Teleseminar
March 11 - April 29, 2008
For the first time ever, you do not need to book an airplane ticket or hotel room to attend this seminar!  Over the past few years I have had people from all over the world ask if we could PLEASE bring the Personality Training Seminar to their country, well we looked into the cost of bringing a staff to the international communities and we found the cost of doing this seminar outside the USA would be a gigantic under taking and it would not be as cost effective to the international communities as we had hoped.
 
Now I'm not one to except defeat this quickly, so I figured, "If you can't bring Mohammed to the mountain, bring the mountain to Mohammed."
 
In time past, some brilliant person created this thing called a Telephone and other brilliant people found a way to connect the world together by satellite, so we could communicate with each other. Add some fast growing technology and you can have a seminar in which the whole world can attend without anyone having to leave home!  A teleseminar is born. 
 
Is this fantastic or what! 
 
The first Basic Personality Principles Teleseminar will be held on Tuesdays, starting March 11 and continuing for 8 weeks, ending on April 29, 2008.  Each session will be about an hour and a half to two hours in length, depending on the amount of Q&A time at the end of each session. The sessions will be recorded for future download, so if you can't make it to all the calls, you will not miss any of the sessions.
 
I will be posting the details on the website in the next week.  www.personalityprinciples.com
 
(sorry for the delay, my dear computer rolled its little pixels up into its hard drive and went into a black coma. I'm still trying to retrieve the information from it.)
 
If this is something you've been waiting for, and have more questions. feel free to contact me at  kathryn@personalityprinciples.com
 
 
 
 
 
Advanced Personality Training
September 26 -28, 2008 
 
Yes, I changed the dates again - I'm sorry, but my son and daughter-in-law just informed us that they are expecting our first grandchild. Take a guess as to the due date?  You guessed it - the first week of September!  In preparation for this blessed event, I cancelled another conference for September and moved this one. Can you tell I don't want to miss this birth!
 
I hope this date change doesn't goof up your plans.
 
The 2007 APT was a smashing success, so we decided to do it again!  The location has not be determined yet.  The details will be posted the moment they are cemented in place.
 
If you would like to submit an application for presenting a session at the 2008 APT, please contact me for the instructions and forms.

Personality Boards
Over the years I have found using my Personality Board to be one of the best visuals I have - better than Power Point, better than props.  Because I fly, I have had to create a board that fits in my garment bag, now I'm offering them for sale.  Many CPTs have purchased them from me and love them.
 
Personality Board
 
These boards fold flat for traveling and are laminated with 10mm plastic.  There are 2 choices of standard wording. (The wording can be customized for an additional fee.)
Dimensions:
Folded - 16x15 / Open - 24x32
 
Cost:$100.00    $12.00 S/H
 
Power Point for Business
Recently, I had the opportunity to present a workshop on:              
 
 "Finding Emotional Balance in the Workplace, Less Stress - More Fulfilling."
 
I created an easy to use power point with wonderful quotes, that many trainers can adapt to their own workshops. 
 
Power Point with recording of the workshop - $25.00  
 (download) or $5.00 S/H for CD copy.

APT Praise
 
 Thanks for your seminar.  It came just in time for my speaking ministry going to the next level.  I  scheduled three more personality engagements this year and five more for next year.  It seems like things are falling into line at just the right time.  I guess you could say I took a leap of  faith and what I hoped for is becoming a reality.  Praise God for His faithfulness.

Having participated in last year's Advanced Personality Training, I know first hand the effectiveness of Kathryn's enthusiasm, instruction and inspiration. Through APT, she gives the extra push that many Certified Personality Trainers need. If you have attended our Personality Training Workshop, have been doing some training, but feel that you need additional coaching to make your Personality business a reality, I hope to see you at the APT!

I am so grateful that after spending enormous amounts of time with our Certified Personality Trainers, Kathryn Robbins saw a need to give them additional training to answer their questions, equip them with technology and business savvy, and help move to a more professional level-and did something about it. If you are a Certified Personality Trainer looking to take the next step and move forward, I am confidant that you will find the Advanced Personality Training to be the place for you!

Information and Tests
Years ago someone asked me what my priorities were. I started down a long list of things I felt were my core values, but then the question was asked, "How many of these priorities do you do each day?"  Well, that was a different issue, I had every excuse in the book why I wasn't doing them - my kids, my job, my... my... my...the list was long! 
 
Then the simple statement was made, "If you want to know what your priorities are, just look at what you do during the day - these are your priorities." It was a sobering thought as I looked over my day.  My "priorities," the things that consumed my day, did not line up with what I thought my core values were.  This was my first step into setting a focus for my day.  Yes, I needed to take care of my kids and job and many other daily things, but now I needed to make room for my core values as well. I found this easier said then done.
 
You may not desire to be a 7 figure entrepreneur, but most of us want to be successful at what we do and the best way to learn the skills needed to become successful is -
 
Do what successful people do! 
 
Here is one of the blogs that helped me get focused this year.
Enjoy!

The Single Greatest Revelation For Your Success

By Melanie Benson Strick - January 8th, 2008 
 

I've surveyed hundreds of entrepreneurs about what gets in the way of achieving their goals. The two highest responses are: "I don't have enough time," and "I don't have enough money."Now I don't want to seem callous or unsympathetic as I'm sure that many people do really have a lot of things on their plate or may have money troubles. But the truth is that both of these answers are just a way of saying, "This is not important to me."

The single greatest revelation you will have this year is:Read the rest of this entry
