Front Line Report: Stop Bullying Now!
For those of you who know my work, you are probably aware that I work in the corporate sector. Many years ago the parents in these organizations began asking me to train their children.
As a result, my business partner, Lynne Truair and I formed a non-profit company called World Youth Network International (WYN).
I wrote an extensive curriculum for K-12 on balancing intellectual, emotional and social competencies.
Today, this prevention program as well as our intervention programs are in over 500 schools internationally. Our intervention anti-bullying program is titled Breaking Out of the World Game.
This report came from Louise MacKay, a principal at St. Luke’s in Melbourne, AU. She and principal, John Faulkner, are certified trainers for the program in Melbourne.
‘I just felt that I had to share it with you…”This is the display I organized for our curriculum expo. The year 5/6 children asked that Breaking Out of the World Game be displayed because it is very important for the younger children to learn it.The photos were all taken during St. Luke’s Program. John and I start the Year 3/4 program on Monday at St Luke’s and Thursday at John’s school followed by a parent information afternoon for them.Just to let you know that we are still spreading the good news!!!’
Leadership Philosophy: It’s a Rap
Every participant in the Women in Leadership Program does their Philosophy of Leadership for their graduation Certificate. Vicky McGowan showed the graduating class her grid on leadership and shared that when she showed it to her 11 year old son he said, “Oh mom, that’s so boring!”
Thanks to her 11 year old son’s challenge Vicky decided to go for it so she wrote her philosophy in rap form. She read to the group with rap music for rhythm and everyone in the group went wild.
Vicki is now working to record it for YouTube and when she does, we’ll share it with you. Thanks, Vicki for taking the challenge…. I can’t wait to show your video on my blog!

Fun, learning & excitement in Australia
The DSWA Celebration in Dallas
The Direct Selling Women’s Alliance produced a big hit this year in Dallas. Thank you to all of you who were there for my keynote address and the preconference training! It was great meeting you and experiencing the energy of hundreds of women with the same intent: to grow themselves and their business!
Here are the slides I promised from the conference training on The Art of Facilitation.
Turning Intention into Action
In the summer of 2010, three principals from Melbourne, Australia approached me to
ask for training in my anti-bullying program. They requested a train the trainer program saying that they wanted to deliver the curriculum to their students.
After much discussion, a hundred e-mails back and forth with Lynne (my business partner), and a series of dialogues as to the where, when, what and how of it the date was set. It was decided that we would do it in the islands and the stage was set.
They arrived over the weekend and the 6 and a half day program commences today. John Faulkner came in on Saturday with his wife, Jill. Louise and Erin arrived on Sunday.
This is an exciting event as up until now I have done all Australian training in Australia. This is the first time I am hosting Aussies to Hawaii to take a training program.
Aloha to the determined team of three!
I have to admit, it was amazing to observe the power of the team’s intention as it was turned into action! They asked for the training, stuck with their decision, followed through with all the paper work and planning, and are now in the islands ready to begin!
I’ll keep you posted as the journey unfolds!
