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

  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 simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
