XL Entrepreneur Life Shift - ChristChurch - August 12 – 13, 2007 
 

My first visit to Christchurch was AWESOME – what a beautiful place? The meandering river throughout the city was wonderfully introduced by super supporter Alika and her deal maker husband Rahul.
 

Biggest Learning
Big thank you to Rahul for showing me a successful strategy to working with his special partner!  As a fellow deal maker it was great to see and witness his approach to make his supporter feel wonderful. Some special presents, gifts and gestures can go a long way to boast esteem and confidence.
Inspiring Couples
Daryl and Sharon Williams married 30+ years and the way that they support and encourage one another and their thirst for learning is inspiring.
Engaging and Shifting
Great attraction created by Tiamara, very articulate and willing to help and work with others. We also had terrific feedback on coaching by Dr Jim, Andy, Mark, and Dr Gluten Free.
Social Enterprise Awareness
Mandy is looking for a partner in India that can build wells. Her main business is in waste disposal and her idea is that for each system that she puts in place in New Zealand can represents a well in India – let’s see what our friends at B1G1 (buy one give one) can do with Mandy.

STEP UP got plenty of attention as Christchurch was playing host to 400++ youth and 40++ coaches for a weekend of inspiring, motivation and changing lives.

Dine and Deal with Dave Launch in Christchurch
Appreciate the support of Alika and Mathew in coordinating the launch of Dine and Deal with Dave in Christchurch. It was great to connect with Allan, Jenny, Celia, Mandy, Mathew and Alika during the session. With our meal, six kids in India will be fed and educated for up to six months.
Look forward to seeing hotels in India be invested in, Oprah visiting New Zealand, water treatment be expanded in India, Connections for Business in China developed, and Step Up to be a huge success!

Have a brilliant week ahead,
Dave

Launching XL Radio

Congratulations to Poonam and her team at XL Radio who are moving forward with the first 24 hour socially sensitive and positive messaging radio program featuring interviews, music, and news all with a positive slant. Stay tuned for the official launch at the beginning of September.

Biggest learning

I had the opportunity to keynote in front of 5,000 financial planners in Indonesia. It was a lot of fun with plenty of energy and enthusiasm at the Jakarta Expo.
In future talks one big learning to share is if I use an English to Bahasa translator it is imperative to reduce the amount of content by at least 40 to 50%, especially for a 90 minute keynote presentation.
Looking forward to many more Keynote Presentations and will definitely utilize more colorful images, impactful video, and cross cultural themes to connect,  encourage and inspire the Spirit of Enterprise throughout the world.

Make Magic Happen,
Dave

Namaste with the “KIA ORA REPORT” from Bangalore,

Dubai in June 2007- Global Speakers Summit &

XL Entrepreneur Life Shift Coaching & Looking for Opportunities

  “80% of success is showing up” - Woody Allen

KIND THANKS

– Michelle and Arcy did a splendid job organizing XL’s role at the Global Speakers Summit in Dubai as well as the XL Entrepreneur Life Shift program. Thank you ladies and thank you for spreading the mantra of XL in Dubai – “show up, step up, give back”

INSIGHTS AND AWARENESS - Dubai was a balmy 47 degrees celsius during the day, dropping down to 36 degrees during the evenings. This is a super time to visit Dubai, a month ahead of the summer heat when the temperature will tread to 54 degrees during the day. Being in Dubai in 2007, must be like being in Floride in the 1950 and 1960’s, when Walt Disney and his friends were discussing about Disneyland. With world class resources flowing into Dubai and amazing real estate developments like the PALMS or THE WORLD underway, Dubai’s progress is truly a site for eyes to see and for people around the world to experience.

 - with more that 60 five star hotels coming on line and a commitment of 10 billion DRM (3.7-1US) for entrepreneurship and leadership development, Dubai is a market to consider for people and talent development.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

- KK, our resident legal expert, is expanding his interest in environmentally friendly and economically sustainable projects with plans in Sri Lanka for fishing farming and tree planting. It was awesome to have KK joined by his wife and two daughters for the weekend program.

- international lighting entrepreneur, Reinout, has recently visited Kerala and is looking for “bright ideas” to expand his high-end energy efficient lighting solutions for hotels, office buildings, and enterprises interested lighting initiatives. - Michelle is introducing wealth dynamics to multinationals, human resource departments, and government agencies in Dubai interested in training, nurturing, and placing talent on the path of least resistance to their greatest wealth.

- Shamsa is sharing her market expertise and extensive network in Dubai with international investors interested in getting some exposure to one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the world – excerpt from the Dubai world – “ Forget the leaning tower of Pisa, the Colosseum, Stonehenge or even the pyramids - there’s a new world wonder in town and it’s right here in Dubai. The Burj Al Arab Hotel has been voted one of the seven new wonders of the world, alongside the Eiffel Tower, Sydney Opera House and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge. Designed by architect Tom Wright, the 28-storey-high, all-suite hotel, the highest in the world, set out to be an iconic or symbolic statement for the emirate - “similar to Sydney with its opera house or Paris with the Eiffel Tower” 

RESULTS - great to hear how life members in Dubai are working together to share leads, wisdom, and experience. Akash, Dino and Kamal are three dynamic businessmen in Dubai with extensive trading relationship around the world. Congratulations to Kamal on securing a “significant” distribution deal for high class luggage and suitcases.

- Some great buddy coaching with Temari and his intention to enhance his financial acuity, Gaby with expanding her coaching business, Antje with her pending real estate deals, and a number of life members looking to improve their health and wellness ratings. - Time to practice and utilize the coaching. Share with family, friends, and associates in your business. En-joy the new distinctions and awareness, build rapport, create attraction and Make Magic Happen!

Continually Shifting,

Dave
