Go Wild! Go GREAT! The Journey from Now to WOWTM

Combining WOW Team Building with Development of Your Social Media Marketing Campaign

2010-08-10T15:41:31-06:00

"Employees Support What they Help Create --Using Social Media Marketing for Team Development"

Go Wild! Go GREAT! Team Development Programs have re-defined traditional team building to provide additional value added benefits for organizations, including design of social media marketing campaigns.

Above, The Multi-National Employee Team at AFD and Alternativa create visual metaphors for their individual job descriptions and office solutions offered to clients, which will be posted on the company's blog, facebook and twitter pages.

According to International Team Building Facilitator, Rosemary Rein who facilitates this Team Building-Social Media Marketing Workshop , in today's economy of limited training resources, organizations are seeking that 1-2 punch! "Our clients are seeking to improve team communication and effectiveness while at the same time developing their social media marketing presence. Rein notes that development of a dynamic social media marketing campaign that captures employee energy and team spirit, is an ideal forum for corporate team development and recently added a photographer to the Go Wild! Go GREAT! Corporate Training! Team.

We first realized the critical importance of social media marketing in team building while working with high school students. We found that students would work diligently and creatively together on a project if the end result was a youtube production.

Rein notes that a critical success factor for achieving the 1-2 punch and outcome of a social media marketing plan with team development is involvement of both marketing and corporate affairs with the District or Business Manager.

Do you need to enter the world of social media marketing and develop your team?

Ethical Guidelines for Living in Paradise! Ethical Guidelines for Life

2010-08-09T14:51:51-06:00

Rainforest Thinking in Tropical Costa Rica: Executives Learn Ethical Guidelines for Living in Paradise and Leading an Organization. Costa Rica will be host to the Global Conference on Leadership & Innovation in January 2011.

We just returned from a 4 day retreat in the tropical paradise of Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula at Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge. An amazing and private Retreat Center, accessible only by boat that we highly recommend for both our YPO and EO Forums and our Now to WOW! Personal Life Lift Retreats.

While swinging in my Sky Chair amidst a rain forest concert of Howler Monkeys, Morpho Butterflies and Scarlett Macaws, I came upon a limited edition book entitled "Viviendo el La Selva" by Nico Fischer with WOO (Women of the Osa).

The book written in the region by people who care about protection of Costa Rica's pristine Osa Peninsula encouraged the adoption of a 7th Generation Philosophy in Leadership and Life, in which we consider the impact of our decisions on the next 7 generations.

The book has a list of commandments for living in Paradise. If you're like me you may be thinking not a bad code for all of us to follow in life and leadership.

Ethical Guidelines for Living In Paradise:

1. Be with the spirit of humility and genuine desire to meet and talk with local people.

2. Be aware of the feelings of others. Act respectfully and avoid offensive behaviors.

3. Avoid the temptation to know all the answers.

4. Learn local customs and respect them.

5. When bargaining with merchants, remember that the poorest one may give up a profit rather than his or her dignity. Don't take advantage of the poor. Pay a fair price.

6. Keep your promises to people you meet. If you cannot, do not make promises.

7. Spend time each day reflecting on your personal experiences in order to deepen your understanding. Is your enrichment beneficial for all involved?

8. Be aware of why you are here in the first place. Remember what attracted you to this place and try to help us maintain that pristine feeling that made you feel at home here.

CEO Book Recommendation for YPO and EO Visionaries: What will 2020 Look Like?

2010-08-01T07:31:29-06:00

Total Recall & What it will be like to be human in 2020

Pick up this book if you want to shake hands with the future and envision how "Machines and Man co-mingle in 2020". According to Microsoft Gurus and Authors Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmell three streams of technology are coming together as we speak, so brace yourself for...

Your E-Memory. Yes, if you choose "Total Recall" in 2020, everything you see, hear, write and even feel (heart-rate, body temperature, blood sugar, anxiety, arousal) can be recovered in your personal health file.
"Losing Your Mind? No Worries" You'll have the ability to recover particular events, names, facts and words by sifting and sorting through your digital memory as easily as you now search in Google.
"You're Just Not Good for Me" Just as you can now track your calories on Live Strong, in 2020, you'll be able to uncover patterns in your life such as work habits, spending and emotional responses around certain people- "Ah, the questions is once we track those trends and emotions and what do we do about it?"
"Speak to my Embedded Microchip" Recording of your Total Recall will be effortless and the technology already exists for tiny unobtrusive cameras which will be worn in buttons, eyeglasses (embedded in the frames) and tools like smart phones and pens that you use in your environment.

Revolutionary Technology that is Mind Blowing & at the same time Frightening? A good read written by those on the front-line of technology that enables us to see the future first!

The 50 x 50 Project Update: Learn or Unlearn 50 New Things Before Turning 50

2010-06-08T10:47:21-06:00

Rosemary Rein, Ph.D, Author of "Go Wild! Survival Skills for Business and Life" and "Blueprint For Success" Embarks on the countdown to age 50 with Learning Adventures and Retreats in Tropical Costa Rica.
“The highest art is the art of living an ordinary life in an extraordinary manner” Tibetan Proverb

It seemed like a “clever idea” at the time. A mission to combine my love of learning with turning 50 this November and officially embarking on my second half of life. “Learn 50 new things before turning age 50 in November” Easy enough… or foolishly so I thought.   I started with the easy check-offs to establish momentum, even if they lacked any depth of intellectual or spiritual value. I can however say that since the 50 x 50 project began, I’ve learned to blow an egg through a perfectly in tact shell, pimp a tee-shirt, survive 1 day without the internet and make chutney from Tamarind.    With the help of my “Tribe of Colleagues, Family and Friends” I’ve learned to “Paint on Water” “Practice A Mindful Meditation Mind Walk” and even had a sit down conversation with a Rock Star”.   However the AH HA has truthfully not been in the learning but the unlearning.   Getting rid of old patterns, behaviors , beliefs and pure stuff that have accumulated over 50 years and outlived their usefulness. Here’s the thing… “Changing established behavior is not a quick check-off and you don’t unlearn in an afternoon”.

What things do you need to get rid of to clear the clutter and find your life? My little 50 x 50 project has grown to include “Throw Out 50 Things”— a great book I highly recommend written by Gail Blanke, on clearing both mental and physical clutter.

So Take out the Papers and the Trash, Learn Something New and write me if you would be willing to teach me your special skill before November 28^th as part of the 50 x 50 Project. On this month’s agenda: Learning to groom a horse, A day with a Nutrition Team, Learning how to Age Make-up for Theater and perhaps the most difficult challenge “Doing Absolutely Nothing For a Day! ”

Wish me Luck and Join us for a 50 x 50 Week-Long Adventure and Learning Vacations and Personal Coaching in Tropical Costa Rica. Here's one thing you can do for you: Sign up for our January 2011 Creativity and Master Mind-Retreat in Costa Rica or schedule a private transforming life safari to map out your "Next and Best Chapter in Life"
