On Friday, November
6, 2009, over 60 attendees gathered at Hyatt Morristown Hotel in Morristown, NJ
for the Lead Your Team to New Levels of
Excellence session led by PCMA Best in Class Speaker - Jerry Teplitz, JD,
Ph.D., CSP.
This was a monumental occasion for the chapter. For many
years, NJ planners have trekked into NYC for all chapter programs; this time,
the board responded to our request to hold the meeting in New Jersey. Kudos! On behalf of the NJ members of NYPCMA, thanks to those who
crossed the Hudson and allowed us to partake in a chapter event in our own
backyard. This effort went hand in
hand with the topic of the day; it
was definitely a new level of excellence for the chapter.
Dr. Teplitz delivered an interactive session designed to
assist us all in becoming more effective leaders using a unique tool: learning
how our personal energy system and behavioral kinesiology play a major part in
our physical and mental abilities and dramatically affect ourselves and
those around us. Mind power, the
concept that everyone and everything in our external and internal environment,
measurably affects us. Dr. Teplitz
demonstrated the power of this concept by leading the group through a
muscle-resistance exercise that turned even the skeptical into believers. He used three brave volunteers for his
experiment: Kenneth Letavish (International Baccalaureate); Sherry Russ (IEEE);
and Linda Rindos (Atlantis, Paradise Island Bahamas).
Here are
instructions for the demonstration.
Try it on your friends and colleagues!
Grab a partner:
- Have your partner face you with one arm at his side and the other arm
raised out until it is at 90 degree angle to the floor, thumb pointing down.
-
Place one of your hands just above your partner's wrist on the extended
arm. Place your other hand on your
partner's opposite shoulder.
-
Tell your partner to resist as you push down on the extended arm. You're not trying to force the arm down
- simply push with a steady pressure for several seconds, then release.
-
Keeping the same position, have your partner think of something sad or
someone they dislike. Allow a few
seconds for them to focus on the thought, and then push down on the extended
arm. It will go down easily, even
though your partner resists.
-
Wait
a few seconds, tell your partner to resume the original position while thinking
of something gratifying or someone whom he cares for. Allow a few seconds for
him to focus on the thought, then push down on the arm. The arm will stay level and
strong--even if you push harder than before.
Some additional elements of fundamental Mind Power
include:
-
Meridian Lines: Energy lines surround
the body affecting your reactions physically and mentally, positively or
negatively. These can be altered with or without touching the body; a measured
physiological pressure difference
was demonstrated.
-
Negative & Positive Thinking:
Negative thoughts affect yourself and others; they weaken your energy system
and leave you susceptible to illness.
If you view your job positively, you work more productively and
effectively. The power of positive
thinking is not just an idea; it
has measurable physical effects.
-
Thoughts Transfer: Thoughts impact who
and what we aim them at as well as impacting ourselves; so, focus on what you
want to achieve.
-
Words have an impact as well - be
careful what you say.
-
Tap your thymus gland to strengthen and
give positive energy.
