The Winner's Circle with Roger Collantes and Rodolfo delos Reyes

2 of Asia's training gurus Roger Collantes and Rodolfo delos Reyes together in The Winner's Circle

In every business, there are a few top performers on one end (the Winners), a few poor performers on the other end (the Losers), and a lot of mediocre performers in the middle (the Average). Employers can always get rid of the bad ones. But how does one bring their average employees to the Winner's Circle? And how does one keep your outstanding employees in the Winner's Circle?

For the first time, international trainers and best-selling authors Roger Collantes and Dr. Rodolfo de los Reyes will conduct a back-to-back seminar and workshop entitled "The Winner's Circle" on March 17, 2011, 8:30am-5:30pm, at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati City, to help people thrive and succeed at work.

Get discounted seats for the entire management team or buy bulk seats to give away to customers and partners in The Winner's Circle. For individuals, the regular rate is P9,995. However, block seats of at least 5 or more is sold for P2,995 (less P7,000 or 70% off!) Plus as the HR head, Learning Curve offers one (1) complimentary seat for The Winner's Circle!

If 10 block seats or more are bought in The Winner's Circle, Learning Curve will even make the client as one of their sponsors, with privilege to have the company's logo included in Learning Curve's marketing collaterals and a free table space to display products and services! So hurry and buy block seats now for The Winner's Circle before seats run out. Offer is good until February 15, 2011 only.

Learn more about The Winner's Circle at http://winnerscircle.iluvlearning.com. Call tel. no. 996-4610 or 668-6314 or email grace@iluvlearning.com for more details.

From Grace Tamang/Marketing Executive/Learning Curve Inc.

You don't like it, we'll refund it, no questions asked. P.S.S. Our offer of P2,995 for block seats of 5 seats or more (plus you get one complimentary seat for yourself) and automatic sponsorship benefits for 10 seats or more is until February 15, 2011 only.

ULTRA-MAGNETIC PERSUASION SEMINAR LAUNCHING Free Seminar by John Calub: A Review

There is no free lunch. That's something I learned from my husband. Even items with big red letters that says FREE is not really free. They are labeled "free" because the company or person giving it away wants you, the consumer, to try it and see if after you have tried it there will be a demand for their upcoming product.

Ultra-Magnetic Persuasion Seminar

And that is what I expected when I first attended the Ultra Magnetic Persuasion Seminar of John Calub. It was my first time to attend a John Calub Seminar at Convenarium, Crossroad 77, Mother Ignacia Avenue corner Scout Reyes Street, Quezon City. The venue was big enough for hundreds of people. The attendees for the soft launching of the Ultra Magnetic Persuasion seminar can be roughly 500 guests. Going to this John Calub seminar I am well aware that a free 2-hour Persuasion Seminar is not just going to be handed to me that easily. It's a Persuasion seminar anyway. If the speaker cannot persuade me in some way then its not that effective for me. I cannot say the same for the others though.

So I sat down with my bff and my hubby asking them "What would John Calub sell to us now?". The Ultra Magnetic Persuasion seminar started with an energizing exercise to get the mindset of the people in positive mode since this Personal Development Seminar is slated afterwork on a Thursday. I'm not sure though if there was strategy behind the choice of date and day on that part but I guess nobody wants to go on a seminar on a Friday night so your best choice would be a Thursday. The target market is obviously for workers since the time is after office hours.

The first part of the free Ultra Magnetic Persuasion Seminar covered the 5 Key Elements of Persuasion namely: authority, popularity, good looks, character, and lastly money. Each element was discussed in general and how it affects a person's persuasion power over people. Truth be told, that money is not a surprising element of persuasion since the influence of those with money can affect people's perception over people and things in their life.

John Calub's seminar also discussed the rate in percentage on how people view or judge a person. He described this effect using three factors: words, tone and body language. John Calub said that body language commands the highest percentage on how we are viewed or perceived by another person. Hence, a great selling spiel or an excellent speech would have been in vain if that person's body language says otherwise. Thus, to be a great communicator and to effectively persuade people to trust and believe you, there are strategies that can be used in building instant rapport. For the free Ultra Magnetic Persuasion Seminar, John Calub stressed that each strategy will be discussed in detail if the guests will avail of the program. The original price of the program is pegged at P12,000 but given to the attendees of the soft launching at an introductory price of P5000. To reserve for the upcoming Ultra Magnetic Persuasion seminar on January 29, 2011 at the SMX Convention, the pre-launching guests would just have to make a P500 deposit (non-refundable) to lock in their seat or to reserve for their slot. This reservation fee can be paid either in cash or credit card.

Lastly, John Calub discussed the features of the one-day course on Ultra Magnetic Persuasion Seminar and imparted several general details for some of the strategies he enumerated. Mostly he did not discuss how the strategies are done but what would happen if a person knows how to use these strategies in his work, personal life and relationships. In my opinion, this is the teaser part of the seminar. I can compare it to a person showing you a yummy chocolate cake (the end goal) telling you the ingredients how to cook it but you have to pay this person to teach you how to cook it. There is no guarantee that by the end of the lesson you have produced the same kind of cake he initially showed you but the important thing is you know his secret in making this scrumptuous, delectable chocolate cakes. Or do you? Because the mentor, being steps ahead will always make sure there is always something cooking under his sleeves. (I am myself's devil's advocate)

After the seminar, I asked my companions if they learned something new. They said that for most part, the seminar was nothing new. But there were very few fresh points but most of it was a reinforcement knowledge which means it only affirms what you have known before. I admit I did learn two new things. One is about the meaning of our handshake and the second one is the effect of certain words to us. My take when I attend something new is to go with my mind like an empty vessel as much as I can so that there will be space to test my comfort zone. If I attend an event and there is already prejudice that it will not be worth my time and for sure I will come home the same person. No change. So I come to events and seminars waiting for concepts that will trigger a certain emotion in me that will prompt me to ask questions "Why am I agreeing or disagreeing to this?", "Why am I reacting this way to the comment or concept I just heard", "Why should I apply or not apply this concept?".

At P5000 for a whole day event on Persuasion Seminar given by a Filipino coach I think the upcoming Ultra Magnetic Seminar is already worth it. I attended a similar seminar two years ago featuring almost the same concepts that John Calub will be discussing in this Ultra Magnetic seminar and that was P25,000 held at Dusit Hotel with only about 20 attendees. Although I got it for free because of a contest I won from Powerbooks to which I will be forever grateful to Powerbooks I am thinking its time somebody from the Philippines do this for his fellowmen.

January 20, 2011 Grand Launching of Ultra-Magnetic Persuasion Seminar (watch out for the laser show entertainment in this event)

For those who reserved their seats, congratulations for making an investment on growing your wisdom. I hope we welcome a better Philippines and better thinking people after you have taken the seminar.

For those who wished they could have attended the pre-launching but missed it, do not fret there is another free Ultra-Magnetic Persuasion Seminar on the 20th of January, 2011 at Convenarium again. To get more details, you can check out John Calub's website dedicated for the Ultra-Magnetic Persuasion seminar at http://www.ultramagneticpersuasion.com/register/.

For those, who are not going after they have read this blog or attended the pre-launching don't worry there is nothing wrong with you. When the student is ready, the teacher will come. You may be just not ready for now.

The only DANGER of not being open to new things or being closed to knowledge is the stagnation and soon the DEATH of the mind. If you can get the same or higher value of wisdom from somebody or something else then by all means go for it. Just promise yourself, you will CONTINUE LEARNING!

11 for 2011 - Money Resolutions By Alvin T. Tabañag

11 for 2011 - Money Resolutions

By Alvin T. Tabañag

This is a re-post with permission from Mr. Alvin Tabanag of PinoySmartsavers.com

Another year begins. And like in years past, most Filipinos greet the new year with a lot of hope. But if you overspent during the holidays and now find yourself staring through a hole in your pocket or feeling anxious about getting your next credit card bill that hope will probably be gone in a flash. Here are 11 money resolutions you can make in 2011 so that you will welcome succeeding new years with genuine hope and optimism for a better and brighter future.

1. Invest in knowledge. Educate yourself about personal finance. Knowledge is power. The more you know, the more effective you will be in saving and managing your finances. People who are well-informed can also spot a good investment opportunity and are not easily scammed. Also, enhance your skills and learn new ones so you can be more effective in your work or find a better paying job. Know more, earn more!

2. Set clear and specific financial goals and prioritize. Without clear goals you will not know where to go or what to do. Classify goals into short-term, medium-term and long-term goals and prioritize them. Split huge or long-term goals into smaller sub-goals. Focus your attention (and your resources) in completing the sub-goals first so you don’t get overwhelmed. If you are married, discuss and agree with your partner common financial goals so that both of you will work towards the same target. You may also discuss your goals with your children so they will understand why there’s a need for little sacrifices, disciplined spending and diligent saving. Succeeding in your quest for financial freedom will require the full support and cooperation of all family members.

3. Assess your financial condition and take time to organize your financial documents. You can’t manage what you do not know. Taking stock of your personal finances will help you figure out what you need to do to accomplish your goals. You can also avoid missing loan or premium payments if you organize your financial documents. Start the new year by finding out how much you already own and how much you owe.

4. Start paying yourself. Make it a habit to set aside 10-20% of your monthly income as your regular savings. Regardless of how much you are earning right now you can start building wealth today if you learn to save consistently. Achieving long-term financial security is not just about how much you earn, but more importantly how much you save.

5. Cut down your expenses. Learn to spend money wisely. Don’t buy too much stuff that you can live without. Create a spending plan (aka budget) and do your best to stick to it. A budget can help you keep your expenses under control and ensure that you will be able to save regularly. It is also an essential tool for achieving your financial goals.

6. Use your credit card wisely and responsibly. Get rid of excess credit cards. All you need is 1 or 2 at the most. Try to pay your credit card bills in full every month so you can avoid paying excessive interest charges. Leave credit cards at home if you are easily tempted into buying. Reckless use of credit cards has put many cardholders in serious financial trouble which could take many years to recover from.

7. Curb impulse spending. Observe a waiting period before buying anything that costs more than, say P500 or P1,000, especially if it is not an essential item. The more expensive the item, the longer you should wait. Impulse spending will mess up your budget and you could end up saving nothing each month.

8. Pay down your debts. Getting rid of debt will help you maximize your savings. Aim to cut your debt down to a more manageable level. For example, you can resolve to reduce it by 25% - 50%, if not completely wipe it out, by the end of year. Follow the Rule of 20 which says that the amount of money you’re paying every month for debt should not exceed 20% of your monthly income.

9. Get insured. Sickness, accidents and untimely death can turn a family’s finances upside down pretty quickly. Savings can dissipate in a jiffy when a financial crisis hits. Insurance will help the family keep its head above water when a financial disaster strikes. If you are not yet insured, now is a good time to get covered by a life insurance and a medical insurance.

10. Start investing. It’s not enough to save and keep your money in low-interest-bearing savings deposit accounts. You will have to learn how to grow your money so that you can attain your goals faster. Investing your money carries a certain degree of risk but you will have to take on some risk to maximize the growth of your funds. Deposit accounts may be safer but with very small returns you will have to save a lot more to reach your financial goals. Learn about investing in bonds, mutual funds, UITFs and the stock market. You can also consider investing in a business.

11. Teach your kids about money and savings. Children who understand the value of money and are responsible in handling their own funds will not keep on bugging their parents about buying them expensive stuff that they don’t really need or can live without. Starting them early with responsible money management will provide them with a much better chance of achieving a brighter, more secure financial future. Instead of giving your children’s school allowance on a daily basis, give it weekly (for grade & high school students) or monthly (for college students). This is the most effective way to teach them how to budget and manage their own money.

(These money resolutions were first discussed by the author last December 27 in the ANC show “Shoptalk.”)

ULTRA-MAGNETIC PERSUASION SEMINAR LAUNCHING Free Seminar by John Calub
