Diversity and Communication: Discussing (Almost) Anything With (Almost) Anyone

NEW! Do you sometimes feel as though you can’t speak up because you’re afraid of offending someone? Our backgrounds are so different it seems most communication takes place across cultural lines and barriers. Yet we probably suffer more from what goes unsaid than from what is spoken. Learning how to craft communication regarding potentially explosive issues is vital to healthy communities and families. It’s important to examine personal assumptions and boundaries and learn how to explore others’ histories and experiences. This year is like no other. The presidential election has opened dialogues on fascinating and sensitive issues such as race, gender, age, economic standing, education, religion, and job status. Join the discussion in a comfortable classroom environment, using carefully established communication guidelines. Everyone can learn how to discuss previously “forbidden” topics with both skill and positive intentions, in order for all to be enlightened and enriched through greater understanding. You will learn to: recognize verbal and nonverbal aspects of communication that can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunication; identify sources of assumptions, through self-assessment, to reveal personal boundaries to accepting diversity; communicate with ease with individuals from different cultures and backgrounds; and respond tactfully and effectively to offensive remarks made in your presence. All materials are included in course fee.

Achieve Superior Credit

FINANCIAL TOPICS

Build Wealth Faster by Investing in Your Debt

Are you on track to achieve the kind of lifestyle and retirement you truly desire? Are you getting ahead as fast as you want? If you answered no, you are not alone. According to the Social Security Board, only 3% of Americans are financially independent at age 65. That means conventional financial strategies are failing the other 97% of the population! Why not consider an alternative approach? This seminar teaches practical, powerful and proven strategies that will allow you to take complete control of your finances, once and for all; eliminate all your consumer debt - credit cards, car loans, etc in just one to four years; then eliminate your 30 year mortgage in another three to five years; save more than $100,000 in scheduled interest payments; and accumulate savings at the same time! How much would your quality of life improve if you had no mortgage payments, no credit card payments, and no debt whatsoever? Attend this seminar and you will wonder no more! This seminar is strictly educational. No investments, business opportunities or get-rich-quick schemes will be promoted or sold. Tuition includes a workbook. The optional textbook, Invest in Your Debt, will be available to purchase from the instructor for $47.

NEW! If past credit issues are preventing you from moving forward toward your financial goals, this workshop is a must! In today’s society, your FICO score is used for a lot more than just granting credit, so achieving and maintaining superior credit is more important than ever. Learn simple but powerful strategies that anyone can use to build positive credit and overcome derogatory entries in your credit file. Topics include understanding the factors that determine your FICO score, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, how Credit Bureaus operate and why paying off old collections will NOT improve your credit. Your instructor, Greg Frank, is a Personal Financial Fitness Trainer, published author and the owner of Superior Credit Care. Since 1997 Mr. Frank has taught thousands of seminar attendees how to accomplish their financial goals by eliminating their debt and improving their credit. As an educator, Mr. Frank does not sell any financial planning, investment or insurance products. Students have the option of purchasing the book “Achieve Superior Credit” from the instructor ($49).

Diversity in Philanthropy & Fundraising

Nonprofit organizations are embracing diversity as a mission and orgaization value. They are seeking to tap into the economic growth and power of Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans and other diverse population groups. There is an assumption of "one size fits all." Diverse groups have identifiable, valuable and significant philanthropic characteristics and traits. Therefore fundraisers find that in order to be successful, they must tailor their fundraising appeals to the prospective donors' customs and sensibilities because US traditional models and expectations of charitable giving don’t reflect philanthropy in other cultures. To not acknowledge, work with and tap into diversity in U.S. populations is to ignore much potential of income for nonprofit organizations. In the 21st century the philanthropy of diverse populations is likely to have a substantial influence on traditional philanthropic institutions. There will be a break for lunch.

EGYPT BENEATH THE SURFACE January 4 – 17, 2009

Cost: $4700

Our classic trip to this antique land, and definitely for those who want to really see Egypt! Nile cruise, flight to Abu Simbel, visits to the Sphinx, Valley of the Kings and Giza Pyramids--they’re all here--along with two visits to the incomparable Cairo Museum (do you really think you can see the 150,000 pieces in one two-hour visit the others offer?). Inside the Great Pyramid (no one else offers that one!)...Tut’s Tomb...meeting with American archaeologists...and an Indiana Jones Day of exploration by flashlight...Is this your trip? Then join us...but sign up soon as it always sells out early!

COSTA RICA: Warm, Wild & Wonderful February 20 to March 2

Cost: $2450

Active volcanoes...one of the world’s finest museums of pre-Columbian gold...the highest per cent of biodiversity in the world...some neat meals and lodges you won’t forget...and a great price...but group limited to 20--don’t delay!

Cost: $3795

Visit the Netherlands during tulip season! We will move slowly and see some of the features of the area including Amsterdam, Utrecht, Kinderdijk, Rotterdam, Gouda, the tulips (but no promises on blooms!) at Keukenhof, Leiden, and Haarlem.

Hapsburg Capitals: Prague, Vienna and Budapest Dates: Mid-August 2009

Three of Europe’s most scintillating capitals, along with some of the tiny towns the commercial trips don’t have time to visit!

Cost: TBA

Our Fourth [and final] trip, and we’re going to fill in the gaps! Alexandria… ancient and Medieval Cairo…Fayum and the rarely-visited pyramids. And the biggie–again–Mons Porphyrites–seen by fewer than 500 people since the Roman Empire!

ALEXANDER THE GREAT…and the GREEK Bronze Age Sept., 2010

Cost: TBA

Join us for ‘the other’ Greece! We’ll skip the classical ‘stuff ’ [except for another look inside the Parthenon!] and go back a further thousand years in time! Mycenae and Tiryns…the Minoans on Crete, and Bronze Age Santorini! Last chance! And Pre-Trip with us to Macedonia and the glories of Alexander the Great!

SOUTH AMERICA: The Great South Fall, 2010

Cost: TBA

Come along to a visit to our southern neighbor’s great southern cities! Rio, Buenos Aires, Santiago: they’re all here, along with a couple of others that the quick-and-dirty trips don’t seem to find! Toss in incomparable Iguacu Falls—go for it!
