This House Is Sh*t!!!

 



Busy day... A lot of connecting w/our community, live, on the phone and online.

Good stuff Maynard!

I have to say, I really do love our community.

I love it when I hear from you folks! 

We're not like a lot of these on-line memberships...

We'll I guess, by rights we're on-line AND local at the academy, HOWEVER, most of our members are remote, on-line. 

I'm old school though and still take care of folks personally, whether they're here in GR or Somewheresville outta town (like most of you).

I treat everyone as personally as I can, kinda like they're here at the academy. 

Just like these emails. They're not auto-responders or hammered out by some VA (virtual assistant), they're all written by me in real time (well, mostly anyway!).

Like Obe Wan Kenobi... I believe in the Old Ways... =)

Well, sort of! 

Several years ago I did updated to offering on-line training programs. Now, you have literally over two thousand training videos available: Courses, modules and masterclass interviews with all the fixins! 

Why?!

So, you have more covenant 24/7 access to training and inspiration. You can learn from the comfort of your own phone with these emails, blog, podcasts, videos and of course the entire Private PeaceWalker Membership. 

I update the site w/new training every single week... Heck, private members also get monthly live coaching calls on zoom so you can ask me questions, connect & stay in touch. 

AND...

It's all available to you in the palm of your hand!

It couldn't be any more convenient! 

Excuses be gone! 

You'll have to find another, because availability and conveyance aren't on that list any more! 

Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent. The real reason for today's email is because one of our members, Jason, wrote in to tell me how he used his PeaceWalker skills to de-escalate a situation. 

Jason is a realtor and volunteers on a church security team...

Well, he ran into a situation at one of his open houses this past week. 

Here's the story... 

This House is Sh*t! =(

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jason Wrote~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you're doing great Craig. Miss training with you.

Had an interesting encounter the other day with a angry gentlemen at one of my open houses. He walks up to me and says "I gotta tell you this house is shit" and proceeds to kick the trim in the house.

 Long story short... by the end of our conversation he wrote down his number and wanted me to help him find a home. I'll be honest ill probably skip that lead!

Very thankful for the de-escalation skills you taught me. 

Have a great week.

Conflict Into Opportunity!


I love hearing these stories like Jason. (And there's a lot of them!)

His training gave him the skills and confidence to handle that guy before it turned into a possibly violent encounter...

Heck, sounds like he might even get a sale out of it!

Have you ever been in a situation like that?!

One where there was someone who was angry and unpredictable? You were nervous that he might become violent 

Some folks don't really know what to do physically or verbally. 

Most only know how to leave... Which is a good option if that choice is available. However, that's not always an option... or not the best one. 

Having the skill, confidence and clarity is essential.

That's what this training and community is all about! 

Like I say, the PeaceWalker Approach can change your life... Maybe even save it! 

Alright, alright, I'm starting to sound like a cheezy commercial now....

Time to go! 

Have a great day.

Oh...

Take it easy and...

Keep going,
~Craig

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 ...

What'd You Say?!

  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...

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...
