This new system will give charter members and partners who join us from the beginning the opportunity to add a fabulous and very successful system to analyze the situation in a company. So far we have often talked about looking at the individual and help solve problems.

Now with Alchimedus, we will be able to cerate a very quick analysis of the whole organization, typically in less than a day, adn create a storng foundation for all the projects the organization needs to tackle to improve.

In combination with our already existing systematic and structure for individual help using the PerformanceIQ® system developed by Gary Morais at GPT3 Inc., we will now be able to offer help on any level, organizationally and individually.

To give you an idea how the graphical depiction of an ideal organization looks like, please refer to the picture below.

In the near future, as we are working to create the structure that will allow those organziations and individuals interested to join us for the launch and roll out of this system, I will keep posting pieces of what the system can do and how things look like to start familiarizing you with the amazing abilities we will have at the disposal of every consultant, coach, trainer and partner we will integrate into the community we are currently forming.

Stay tuned

For the very vast majority of the articles
I am creating, I try to look for material
and content that will be helpful for my
clients and students

To provide the services available today,
we all have to learn, analyze the market
place, find our niche, and explore it to
the best of our abilities.

Don’t you sometimes wish you were in
the right spot at the right time to take
full advantage of an opportunity before
everybody knows about it and is
exploring it’s potential?

This is the first time I am releasing
word that there will be such an
opportunity at the end of the summer 2008.

My fellow coaches and I are often many
things in one person or as part of
a small group.

Have you had these days when you
wonder how you will find the next
new coachee who will replace the
ones who left because they received
what they had been looking for?

Have you created reports,
e-books, real books, manuals, and
seminars to provide more and more
valuable content for your customers
and clients?

Are you transferring more and more
of your activities online to take
advantage of e-commerce and online
sales while you expand and build
your empire?

The internet marketing community
keeps telling us, emailing us, and
writing us about all these brand
new systems they seem to create
on a daily basis. Not only that…

They also keep telling us how many
millions they have made in a months,
in a week, some even claim in
days or hours.

I am an optimistic person and I believe
in my abilities and those on my team.
We have had successes in the past
and we will have even more in the future.

Instead of trying every new system
available and offered to us by the internet
marketing community, we need to keep
an eye on our core services.

That begs the question what the next
big trend in training, consulting in
coaching will be?

I believe it will be a combination of
individual attention to members of
organizations as they develop more
and more complex skills and knowledge.
But that is only one side of the coin.

The other side looks at the organization
as a whole. The largest consulting
companies have always offered the
organizational view and now you can
too, even if you are a one wo/man
show or have a small team in your firm.

The great part about it that you don’t
need a huge investment, and those
you service will not need a huge
investment either.

The days of tens of thousands of
Dollars for an analysis of an organization
leading to a think binder with a final
report are over.

Not only that - the analysis of numbers
and productivity aspects have been
relegated to accountants and comptrollers.

What we need to do is put human
beings in the center of the picture.

For that a new, extremely successful
system has been developed in Europe.
It’s called Alchimedus.

This system is a perfect fit in combination
with the focused and individual services
many trainers, speakers, consultants and
coaches offer right now.

Alchimedus looks at three main
aspects of the organization:

The tools – meaning the analytic and
methods an organization uses to conduct
its operations

The human being in its values and culture –
meaning what we find as the “unique way
of how each particular  company operates
based on what its’ members have found to
be the best way to achieve the goals and vision

The power of inspiration – meaning the
ability to innovate, be creative and have
the persistence to pursue ideas to the point
where they turn into reality

This new tool is coming to the US market
and a very small group of companies will
certify partners to explore the US market.

Currently more than 5000 organizations in
Europe and Asia are using this amazing system,
but the US market is untouched like a virgin.

During the summer the charter memberships
will be developed and then offered to those
consultants and coaches who want to be the
first to combine Alchimedus with their
current practice.

Anybody interested to be on that list of
charter members should contact us at AMC LLC.

My friend Peter and our team will train and
support the charter members in their
explosive growth across and throughout
the US market place.

First it happened in Germany. Then it began
to cross borders into all the other European
countries from Austria to Switzerland, and
as you read this, it is exploding across the Asian
continent like a wild fire.

If you ever wanted to be onboard when the
first computer was offered, or the first version
of Windows came on the market,
or Aspirin was offered for the first time in
a drugstore, your chance has come.

Alchimedus will revolutionize the landscape
of valuable service in a way we haven’t seen before.

The list is growing as of this writing and
we hope many of the readers of this article
will take the opportunity to contact us and
let us know that you are interested to get
certified and receive your license for success
with Alchimedus.

We are taking names for the limited amount
of tickets available for this train. If you wait
too long, you might miss it. I hope you realize
that this is the moment when opportunity knocks.

We look forward to see you on board

Every once in a while we come across stories or lessons that can change our lives. We may not recognize it immediately but it is amazing when we realize how powerful even small exercises can be. I see this frequently in my coaching and teaching practice.

Today, my assistant Donna sent me the story below. She had received it form one of her friends and was profoundly touched by it, as was I. Initially the idea was to forward it to our closest friends via email, but then I thought I might as well make it public to a broader audience on the blog (with Donna’s permision).

Never underestimate what the impact of one person with a good idea or exercise can be on many individuals. Here is the story for your enjoyment…

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. ‘Really?’ she heard whispered. ‘I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!’ and, ‘I didn’t know others liked me so much,’ were most of the comments.

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn’t matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

Several years later, one of the students was killed in
Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

The Church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.

As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. ‘Were you Mark’s math teacher?’ he asked. She nodded: ‘yes.’ Then he said: ‘Mark talked about you a lot.’

After the funeral, most of Mark’s former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark’s mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

‘We want to show you something,’ his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket ‘They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.’

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had said about him.

‘Thank you so much for doing that,’ Mark’s mother said. ‘As you can see, Mark treasured it.’

All of Mark’s former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, ‘I still have my list. It’s in the top drawer of my desk at home.’

Chuck’s wife said, ‘Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.’

‘I have mine too,’ Marilyn said. ‘It’s in my diary’

Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. ‘I carry this with me at all times,’ Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: ‘I think we all saved our lists’

That’s when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don’t know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late.

And One Way To Accomplish This Is: copy this message and forward it on via email or send your friends to this blog to read it. If you do not send it, you will have, once again passed up the wonderful opportunity to do something nice and beautiful.

If you’ve received this, it is because someone cares for you and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care.

If you’re ‘too busy’ to take those few minutes right now to forward this message on, would this be the VERY first time you didn’t do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships?

Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

With sincere Thanks to Lindsay & Donna
