"Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile." - Franklin P. Jones
 
The way of love is not
a subtle argument.
The door there
is devastation.
Birds make great sky-circles
of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall, and falling,
They're given wings.
-- Rumi

becomes superfluous."

Valuing Valentines 

One of my favorite holidays is fast approaching.  Valentines Day.  I like to celebrate Valentines Month since one day is never enough for me. 

Recently I was in Windsor, Ontario leading a private Hands On Boot Kamp for several Canadian Teams.  One of the games we play in that course is that every time you give an “I Appreciate” note you also give and receive tickets for a drawing for prizes.  I don’t know what we said to this group this time – we had more I Appreciate notes flying than ever before.   Everyone in the room got prizes and we all had a good time giving and receiving.  I was awakened again to the power of expressing our appreciation for each other and how much just a few words can do to heal, mend and strengthen our partnerships. 

I invite each of you to create February as Valentines Month.  If you need more “I Appreciate Notes – call us at 877-632-6224 – we’ll send them out.  Brainstorm with your team regarding showing appreciation to each other as well as to your patients, families and friends. 

We are very excited about our first ever Couples Retreat, that Paula Harriss and Mike Black will be leading on March 30 and 31st just outside of Knoxville, TN at the Dancing Bear Lodge   www.dancingbearlodge.com  The Couples Retreat is a product of our new division of programs  -  The Power For Life.  This new division is committed to taking the principles that we teach in dentistry to businesses through sales training, executive coaching and speaking engagements.  Read Paula’s article about how The Couples Retreat came to be and join us in Tennessee in March to Celebrate your Relationships with that special person in your life.  www.thepowerforlife.com

The Power for Life  COUPLES RETREAT
 by Paula Harriss

Have you every wished your mate could experience Boot Kamp because you know it would have an important impact on your relationship? Well, YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND!

The Coaching Center Team received repeat requests over the years to provide an opportunity for couples to receive Boot Kamp information as it relates to relationships. Recently, at one of our Leadership Boot Kamps for doctors only, this request resurfaced.  So, it’s our pleasure to offer The Power for Life Couples Retreat. (The Power for Life is a branch of The Coaching Center that takes us back to our roots of reaching out past the dental market with the Boot Kamp skills.)

Wouldn’t it be fun to take the DiSC profile as a couple? What about learning how to handle tough conversations successfully in your relationship? Do you really know how to fight? Guys, do you know what she wants? Ladies, do you really know what he wants? We can help you apply the Boot Kamp skills to your relationships, taking them MUCH deeper than ever before.

If you haven’t seen the independent film The Secret, I recommend you see it.  The principles presented in the film are very consistent with all the teachings on which Walter based our Dental Boot Kamp.  Mike Black, who is my co-leader in the program, brings a wealth of information and training from Joe Vitale, one of the guru’s of The Secret.  Mike has worked with Joe for the last two years coaching clients from all over the world in creating Miracles in their lives and in their relationships.  In addition, Mike brings his own unique approach to “causing the success of your relationship” from the male perspective.  Mike and I have created new materials which we will reveal in the program, and we promise they will help strengthen your relationships.

As we know, personal growth precedes professional growth.

I will always be thankful to Dr. McKinney, Suzanne Black and Dental Boot Kamp for the investment they made in my personal growth.  It was tough being a single mom with 5 daughters, working in a dental office and making ends meet.  What I learned in those early years with Dental Boot Kamp has changed my life.

As many of you know, Think and Grow Rich, was one of Walter’s favorite books and now one of mine.  In the book, Napoleon Hill refers to the 31 reasons people fail.  A struggling personal relationship is stated as one of the key reasons people fail.  It is my intention and promise that the Couples Retreat will provide the atmosphere and opportunity to impact your personal relationships in a lasting and evolving manner.

The Five Love Languages for Valentine’s Day
by Suzanne Black

In Dental Boot Kamp we refer to Dr. Gary Chapman’s book, The Five Love Languages, in which he discusses the fact that each of us has a primary “language” of receiving appreciation and expressions of love that means the most to us.  If you haven’t read it, it’s worth picking up.  The languages he refers to are:
             


Words of Encouragement


Receiving Gifts

Quality Time

Physical Touch

Acts of Service

 

To reveal our primary love language, Dr. Chapman suggests we recall times when we have felt most hurt or unloved.  For years in my marriage I felt hurt that my husband, Mike, never seemed to pick out the right thing for my birthday or Christmas.  The gift was either another electrical appliance or didn’t seem right for me.  That got me thinking about the times I selected presents for Mike, like maybe a tie.  Maybe he was thinking it was just another tie when all he really wanted was an electrical appliance.  But to me the tie was special, and I selected it just for Mike.  And then I realized.  The truth of the matter is that his gift represents him really thinking about me and choosing something he thinks is special for me.  It is the act of thinking about me that really shows his love. 

When I think about what is most important to me, words of encouragement seem the most powerful.  So, I got to thinking about this Valentine’s Day and what could be done to recognize spouses, loved ones, children and our team.  My team and I put together these ideas for you.  We hope you like them and they help you show the people important to you just how much they are loved.  Appreciation and love open the door to the heart.
