7 Degrees!




Notice the temp in that pic above...


7 degrees! 

That was taken from my car's dashboard.

Let's just say it was a bit of a brisk run this morning! 

Remember me telling you that I taught a brief church security workshop the other day?

Well, I did. If you didn't read it, go back a couple emails and you'll see it. 

Anyway, I love having the opportunity to spread the word on this PeaceWalker approach with people. 

It's great to hear feedback once in a while... So, it made my day to hear from Jim, the Private PeaceWalker member who brought me in to his church to train his team. 

He went to the trouble to write a very thoughtful email to me of what some of the attendees said about using the concepts that they learned in our session together! 

I thought you'd like to hear it...

Craig,

At last night's Cor Valor class, I was closing the class (in Craig Gray fashion) with a little reflection about the difficulty of respecting and appreciating people who are "different".

Dan (57) is a supervisor trying to get one of his people to just fill out a time card, completely and on time. The person, for weeks, has not come even close to doing that simple task. Dan said that, prior to Tuesday's seminar, he was planning to give a "Do this, or else" mandate. Now he's strategizing how to use some of the tools you described to help it resolve well. More to come on that one....

In another connection, Debbie shared that her women's prayer group was last night talking about the Old Testament story where God is trying to get Moses to be His spokesperson to Pharaoh in Egypt. Moses is not buying it. "I have a speech problem!" "Can't do it!" Apparently Moses didn't think God would be much help :). Then..... God proposed "Plan B" - "We'll have your brother Aaron be the spokesperson." Even GOD uses "plan B" when Plan A doesn't work!
In short, you're making a impact! (and all the rest of the students got to hear about it through Charles' and Dan's examples)

In short, you're making a impact!

All In a Day's Work! 

I am always grateful to hear how this PeaceWalker message is changing and protecting lives in small and not so small ways. Thank you Jim for bringing me in and sharing the stories from people using the training! 

It's amazing the impact of even a short training session can have on your life, let alone knowing (and using) the whole approach!

If you want to hear more about this approach, now's your chance!

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...

What'd You Say?!

Image
  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...
