I just thought I woul
d share an update with the refinement of “The Code” it is still in EARLY development mode. I am open to feedback and ideas.
I have been doing even more work on how to share and teach the pillars that I have in writing the book. I think that I am going to end up doing the same thing I did with my first best selling book “Reframe Your Blame How to Be Personally Accountable” which is design and deliver the workshop before the book is even completed. It is a great way to test ideas and generate feedback.
Enjoy!

This is a excerpt from my book “Reframe Your Blame, How to Be Personally Accountable” It focuses on the key elements of becoming a generator (or what I will call a creator in future editions.
Consciousness Clue
We choose all our beliefs, consciously and less than consciously, to help us make sense of and cope with the world. Some of those beliefs may no longer support us. If all our beliefs are chosen in the first place, why not choose beliefs that support us in feeling happy, joyful, and purposeful?
Once you begin to wrap your head and heart around dealing with the mechanics of life at the practical level of accountability and you explore the broader arching lessons of spiritual evolution, often a pattern begins to emerge. You discover that the lessons you are learning are related, not random. Cumulatively, they will answer your question, “What is my mission?†More on this in the final segment of the book.
Of all the benefits of accountability, one of the easiest to observe is what life is like when you stop draining yourself and others and become a generator. Most people instinctually get what this means, but let’s answer the question, “A generator of what?â€
The short answer is, “a generator of whatever you focus on—energy, love, acceptance, money, support, wisdom, knowledge, connection—the list is almost endless.â€
When you’re a generator, you experience synergy. Amazingly, the effects of the whole become greater than the sum of the parts. One plus one no longer equals two. Now, it equals eleven.
Here are some clues to recognize when you are being a generator:
How can you tell if you are actually being accountable? Be warned. Initially, there are times when we flip back and forth between victimization and accountability several times within the same thought. This is common. Even when you dedicate yourself to Personal Accountability, you still have all those old Victim stories, triggers, and patterns in your memory. Be patient. It takes time, practice and purpose.
To support you along the way, there are some milestones that you can look for to see if you are on track.

Just in the Las Vegas airport after a whirlwind trip. I was here working on a joint venture with a friend Bill Walsh, the creator of PowerTeam International. I had a great time, thanks Bill for a great event, fun parties and amazing hospitality.
While I was working my dear wife Cory caught up on some much deserved sleep (that poor woman has not slept through the night in 5 months since our youngest Jasxon came home.)

Our trip was fantastic on all counts, we escaped -36 degree weather in Calgary, Cory got more sleep in 3 nights than she got in the previous 10 days and Bill and I are doing some very exciting work together. I am going to be speaking in Orlando at the end of April with Powerteam at their Inspiration 2020 event (I will have some amazing offers to share in a couple of weeks). In addition I and Personal Best will be bringing Bill and his team to Calgary on March 15th where he will be presenting “Vision to Wealth”.
PowerTeam is a fascinating category creator that offers a blend of personal development, business coaching and training PLUS venture funding! I am thrilled and excited to bring this talented diverse team to Calgary. We will be doing much more work together in the future. In the meantime set aside March 15th in your calender and prepare to give your business a quantum leap!
A special thanks to my Mom and Sister for taking such great care of our boys, they were under the weather and I know they can be a handful at the best of times. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts, if not for knowing you two were with them, Cory could never have left them and gotten the break that she needed so much!
Stay tuned for updates on new cities that Personal Best will be in this year, it is going to be a fantastic ride!

PS: One of my favorite quotes of all weekend was JD Rockafeller “As I got older, I stopped listening to what people said, and only paid attention to what they did” Love, Love, LOVE IT!
We have all been there, a workshop or seminar that we ate truly fascinated by the topic and happy to be there. At the front of the room is a talented and gifted program leader with great wisdom and content to share. Then it begins to fall apart.
The program does not start on time. When it does it does not seem to be really purposeful. The facilitator get in a fight with the easel trying to flip paper. The leader gives directions to an activity that has 15 steps you and the rest of the group are confused and no one does anything. Or the instructions are clear but they do not give you any time to actually do the activity or make sure that everyone gets a chance to participate. Or one of my favorites is sitting there watching them read from a manual, good god I can read!! The list goes on and on and on. Again the material is great, the facilitator is brilliant in their area of expertise but the experience is diminished by their lack of training and knowledge in designing and delivering small and large group facilitated experiences.
It really is a crime because it costs tremendously: it costs value for the participants, it costs credibility for the program leader, it costs money for the organization in terms of ongoing sales.
Facilitating skills are NOT that complex or difficult but there are not that many places to learn them from people with significant experience.
I have trained and supported hundreds of facilitators to design, market and deliver their own programs over the past 20 years and I want to share my top 3 training tips with you.
1) Do your own work! Do your own work! Did I mention do your own work? The number of times I have seen people present material that they were not completely grounded on personally is scary! Please note I have worked primarily in the personal transformation industry where this is even more significant than in other arenas but it is vital everywhere. You MUST live your content to the best of your abilities or don’t bother.
2) Be clear about your motive, yea, yea I know you want to save the world, help people less fortunate than you, of course. However until you tell yourself the truth about ego and attention needs you will have great difficulty succeeding. Here is a little secret. EVERY facilitator/program leader who has ever stood on a stage has high (some super high) attention needs. It is part if what attracts them to the business. Significance, attention, needing to be needed, love, adoration superiority again the list can go on and on. Please understand these are pretty basic human needs, having the needs are not the issue…pretending being at the front of the room is a selfless act is an issue of epic proportions.
3) Overlooking basic skills. Usually under the erroneous view of the material and message is so valuable that the details do not matter. That is not true! Hire someone who has experience get a mentor who has designed content get the basic skills handled for you and your clients. It is not hard you just need the support!
As I am writing this I am getting flashbacks to a variety of crazy things that I have seen novice facilitators do that caused programs to suffer and in some cases outright fail. Please do not be one of those, the truth is the world needs you and your gift, there is greater demand for adult education today than ever before. Do what it takes to support yourself to succeed.
My core company Personal Best Seminars has been providing transformational seminars including Facilitator Development for over 20 years, we have over 30,000 graduates who tell us regularly that our programs are the best organized and delivered that they have ever experienced.
Due to a ton of requests I have created an Accelerated Facilitator Training program that starts late May. If you are interested contact me directly at jfiset@me.com
