“Next Element provided a clear and highly practical seminar that gave me tools to better relate to and come alongside the children and youth in my school and church in order to help them flourish.” – Brett Martin, Pastor, First Christian Church (DOC), Topeka KS

PCM NUGGET
There are always great conversations in our Three-day Core Competencies and Advanced PCM training around phasing.  One question that comes up is, “can I experience a phase to my next floor without going through the pro-longed distress behavior?”  To answer this, I will share from The Process Therapy Model book by Taibi Kahler.  Three out of every 100 people who have phased consistently gave a couple of reasons: 1) a spiritual/religious experience occurred; or 2) there was a significant influx of money into the person’s life.  Another small percentage of phased individuals who did not experience pro-longed distress reported that their phase was caused by a near-death experience. -JR

BOOK RECOMMENDATION
“Switch, When Change is Hard,” by Chip and Dan Heath.  This is a great book!!  It has great stories all of which are applicable and relevant.  It has a message on how to effect change in all aspects of your life.  The theme of the book is that we are part ELEPHANT and part RIDER.  The elephant part is the part of us that is emotional and instinctive.  The rider part is the part that thinks long term and plans.  The book illustrates how you can get the ELEPHANT and RIDER in concert for yourself and your community.  It also has great case studies that demonstrate the power one has when their ELEPHANT and RIDER are in concert.   Also I am blogging each week on a chapter, working my way through the entire book.  Look for my blogs on our website, Linkedin and Twitter. -JK

HOT WING UPDATE

Jeff King’s family enjoying Hot Wings while on a recent ski trip to Colorado.  Seated in the upper left is Jeff’s wife Rebecca, daughter Maggie, sons Derrien (wing-in-mouth), and Harper.

“i give these wings a 5, the highest rating we have.  This exceptional rating may have been influenced by great company (my family) and the location – Crested Butte, Colorado.  Even so, these wings were tasty, spicy and cooked to perfection.  I highly recommend the Brick Oven to any visitor to the Crested Butte area.” -JK
