Here’s Why I hate seminars…

If you go to a movie and find it really entertaining, do you tell your friends about it? Or what about a restaurant with tasty food at great prices? Or a holiday destination? or a sale with great bargains? Most of us see that we’re doing others a favour if we put them onto something worthwhile. And that’s what I want to offer to you today - something worthwhile.

I can emphatically say, that I’m not a seminar/conference junkie. You know, one of those people that will travel to any seminar that looks interesting, sometimes giving up days and weekends to attend.

The thing I found about most of the seminars I attended was that they were usually extremely motivating at the time, with me making plans and commitments to myself about the changes I was going to make from then on. Only to find that a couple of weeks after , if not days, I had difficulty remembering exactly what it was that I’d learned and got excited about! Have you ever felt that way too?

So, when I say that I recommend a seminar, believe me it has to be good - no, better than good - fantastic!

And Mental Toolbox is my most favourite of all seminars.

The first day I went to the Brisbane Mental Toolbox, nearly a year ago, I was a reluctant attendee. Bought along by my husband, Peter, I was determined to not get involved, nor sucked in with ’special offers’ and all the ’stuff’ that comes with seminars and conferences.

Second day, I had to admit I was looking forward to going. Still reticent about getting ‘too involved’, I could feel myself warming towards the facilitor, Paul Blackburn, and having to admit that I was enjoying myself.

Third day, I actually changed the seat I was sitting in. I would still only do the activities with Peter but I was, dare I admit it, involved and loving it.

And then I decided to train as a Life Coach and if I tried to count the changes in my life since then, it would be impossible!

What will you get from attending a Mental Toolbox seminar? In the words of Paul Blackburn

“Over the course of the three days I will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know about:

• how your mind works,
• why it does the things that frustrate you,
• how to change it into your most reliable and productive asset,
• where, when, why & how to ‘reprogram’ it and
  
• what to do to keep it running at peak efficiency for the rest of your life. “

Mental Toolbox is full of information and learning activites. It’s fun and motivational.

Welcome to my first post!

Hi, and thanks for visiting my blog.

This weekend I’ve been at the Brisbane “Mental Toolbox” Workshop put on by Paul Blackburn and the team at Beyond Success. What great fun we had! There were some 200 people attending, there was a great buzz in the room!

It’s been six months since my husband and I attended the last one in Brisbane, and what a roller-coaster ride its been since then! The only problem this time was I couldn’t take notes on all the gems I heard, (funny how you can get so much more out of a similar seminar the second or third time ’round!), because I was helping with running mics and doing the support-person bit - which was fun anyway.

I’ll post some thoughts from the Mental Toolbox during the week, once I’ve got some time to collect my thoughts and sit down with a cuppa to write them out!

Bye for now

Carolyn.
