Pamela Course shared her QUIT success story with the QC Seminars team…

Hi my name is Pamela Course and I am a QUIT Cigarettes in 60 Minutes Specialist. I completed my business training with QC Seminars in November 2008 and since then I have seen over 130+ clients.

In the past I had watched both family and friends struggle to quit smoking by using other ineffective methods (including patches, gum, inhalers and going “cold turkey”).

It is such an exhilarating feeling to see my clients quit their smoking habits easily and successfully in just 60 minutes. I love the fact that people walk out of my door on cloud 9 – just knowing that they are finally non smokers.

After one of my sessions I asked my client if he had brought any cigarettes with him and if he had if he could throw them out. My client had left a pack of cigarettes on the table and while he was fishing through his wallet to pay for the session he pointed at the cigarettes and said, “There’s those cigarettes over there, but they’re not mine. I don’t smoke.”

He truly believed they weren’t his cigarettes and it was just the best feeling to witness that transformation!

As a QUIT Cigarettes in 60 Minutes Specialist I really am providing my clients with a LIFE CHANGING service.

Here’s just some of what my clients should expect after a session:

• To say goodbye to cravings and withdrawal symptoms
• To save THOUSANDS of dollars a year
• To feel more empowered and to live a healthier life
• To increase their life expectancy by 14 years

How much do you think it would be worth for clients to gain ALL of this in just 60 minutes? The answer is simple it is a PRICELESS service.

SMOKERS REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN

I am so proud to be a part of a network of leading specialists using the most effective process available in the marketplace today to quit cigarettes for life!

I have a simple message for new specialists, “You have to take action! You are provided with everything you could possibly need to turn your new business into a success during your training. So, go out there and make things happen for yourself.”

Let’s be honest – this is basically every women’s fantasy come true! Enjoy…

Team QC have embraced the silly season with Christmas sing-alongs – Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas” and Frank Sinatra’s “Jingle Bells” have been on high rotation in the office.

One Christmas song that always resonates with me is John Lennon’s Happy Christmas (War is Over). I’m a huge Beatles/Lennon fan (thanks to my Dad) and I think the opening line of this song is really powerful, “So this is Christmas, and what have you done?” When I listen to Happy Christmas (War is Over) it gives me a chance to pause and think about what I’ve done in the past year and what I need to work on in the coming year.

This Christmas I want to focus on the joy of giving rather than receiving gifts. If you are looking for a memorable gift for a loved one that will no doubt make a huge difference in their life I’ve got a couple of great ideas for you…

• Why not give the gift of change, with our popular NLP Certification Scholarship? For just the one-off admin fee of $97, you can give family and friends a wonderful gift that’s conservatively worth $5,291.97. PLUS…even better…you’re giving them the gift of PERSONAL POWER…the power to transform themselves and finally have the life they really want.




• Why not help a loved one embark on a healthier, happier path in life? If you know anyone that has struggled to stop smoking you could really change their life this Christmas by booking an appointment that is guaranteed to help them Quit for good! We’ve made it super easy for you, our QUIT Directory features the very best QUIT Cigarettes in 60 Minutes specialists across Australia. You can find a specialist in your area by visiting the website: http://quitcigarettesin60mins.com/

Here’s what Barbara Houghton had to say about her NLP Certification Scholarship experience:

This Christmas give a gift that keeps on giving, it’s the perfect way to PAY IT FORWARD.

The 12 Days of Christmas


The Christmas Can-Can

Hindsight is a beautiful thing

Once upon a time… when the earth was flat (and the centre of our solar system) we human beings thought we were pretty smart cookies.

Our maps featured the Latin phrase “HC SVNT DRACONES” or “Here be Dragons”, which is now considered map shorthand for “Here be other places we currently know squat about.”

At the time we thought we we’re 100% right, and yet, with the benefit of hindsight, we were proven wrong.

We discovered that the earth is in fact round and that the sun is the centre of the solar system. This story is a great reminder that you should never stop striving to broaden your horizons. You should always be learning more whether you’re two, 32 or 102.

Neuro-psychologist, Dr Daniel N. Robinson, professor at Georgetown University offers sage advice: “If you think you’re right, look in the mirror and say three times; I may be wrong, I may be very wrong, I may be hopelessly wrong, and you’ll probably be right.”

Are you spending your time wisely?

I recently watched ‘In Time’ starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, which was based on the premise that time is LITERALLY money.

In this parallel universe, personal ambition is focused entirely on acquiring more time rather than money.

The rich can live forever yet the poor struggle to make it through the day. You have to buy everything with time – a cup of coffee costs four minutes and a fancy dinner can set you back 8 weeks.

It’s a fascinating concept.

In the book, “How to Get a Bigger Bite out of Life”, George Faddoul unravels the misconception that time is money.

“The only thing you can do with your time is spend it, so the key is… “Am I spending it wisely?”

George says that from 9-5 anyone can make a living, but it’s from 5-9 that you start your journey towards being a modern day Alchemist.

The most successful individuals work from 9-5 and then from 5-9. Now it’s not necessarily the same job. This doesn’t mean you should increase your hours at your particular place of employment. It just means that you should spend more time on YOU, on your personal growth and development. Whether you attend a training seminar, read a new book or make a decision to make a QUANTUM CHANGE in your life… remember the sky is the limit!

“There is no place I have been to on the planet that feels as alive as Egypt. The culture, traditions, people and landscape persists in these times of change and their stunning monuments are brilliant reminders of a time gone by. This trip gave me tremendous insights into the people, their culture and traditions; immersed me in its natural wonders and took me inside the most treasured and sacred monuments on the planet. The incomparable personalised guidance gave me the opportunity to absorb this wondrous place and this I have not experienced in all my life’s travels. Nothing could have prepared me for the extraordinary experience I had; which was the most moving of my life to date.”

City of Sydney Business Awards Gala Dinner

Roberta was proud to represent Quantum Change Seminars and her fabulous team, at the 2011 City of Sydney Business Awards Gala Dinner. It was a great night and we were so excited to be nominated alongside some of the best and brightest companies in Sydney. Although we didn’t win, we were delighted to be there on the night and congratulate all the winners. Roberta spoke with Clover Moore, Lord Mayor of Sydney and Lisa Wilkinson, presenter on Today, Network Nine. The entire Gala Dinner was also kept in stitches by funny man Arj Barker.

QUIT Success Story: Alwyn Balyse

“I work as a physiotherapist and I love to help people every day. But before I did the Quit training nothing I did saved lives! Now I’ve helped over 50 people quit cigarettes. Each person I’ve helped now has an extra 14 years of life, and a much better QUALITY of life. I’ve benefited too of course. I’ve had multiple $1000 days, in fact $2000 days, which I never would have done before the training. But the high point of my day is the feeling that I have helped someone who has struggled for years, finally give up! The system works I am happy to tell anyone. I was dubious, being a medical system, how could it be this easy? In fact I tried to talk myself out of doing it – too expensive, what if it doesn’t work? When I came down to Sydney I was convinced that I would ask and find. I am so glad I stayed. My life is great, helping others is great. Thanks you so much Roberta, Jamie and everyone at QC. You do an incredible job and I love being part of your quit team. If you are thinking of doing the training just do it. You’ll be glad you did!”

NLP Definition of the month

Future pacing is the process of mentally associating into the future for the purpose of rehearsing (either associated or dissociated) new resources being used in a future situation to ensure that the new desired outcome or behaviour will occur naturally and automatically at the appropriate time when it will be required in that future situation. It helps connect newly found resources to future cues. The author prefers to end a process with a dissociated Future pace, so that you (or your client) can literally see yourselves doing the new behaviour at the future time.

Inspirational Quotes

I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.

But they answered: “Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor, digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing.

I drew the inside of a boa constrictor so the grown-ups could see it clearly… “Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.”

Imagine: a better tomorrow

If you’ve been to one of our NLP events you would know that our trainer George Faddoul is a HUGE John Lennon fan… Roberta recently bought him signed lyrics of  Happy Christmas and Beautiful Boy for his last birthday.

In 1971, John Lennon recorded “Imagine” a simple, beautiful song that inspired us to envisage a better world.

Written during the height of the war in Vietnam, “Imagine” is still as prevalent today as it was when it was first released.

Imagine Song Lyrics:

Recently, on The X Factor, a contest called Emmanuel Kelly moved the audience and the rest of Australia to tears with his moving rendition of this classic song.

Kelly and his brother Ahmed were adopted from Iraq, both suffering limb deficiencies as a result of chemical warfare. They were abandoned at an orphanage and rescued by Children First Foundation boss Moira Kelly.

Kelly’s performance is a poignant reminder that we must not take our good fortune for granted. This month I challenge you to think about how you can make the world a better place and take ACTION. At QC Seminars we like to “Pay it Forward” by offering our NLP Scholarship program… remember the smallest actions can make a QUANTUM CHANGE!

Poem by Julie Chugg

Humour

Team QC were all huge Where’s Wally?  fans when we were kids. So, we thought it would be fun to see if you could find our elusive friend in the picture below. Remember to use your sensory acuity…

Take a look at this image – What do you see? Is this a picture of a young woman or an old lady? The answer is that they are BOTH there.

Have you every been in a heated debate and then an hour into the discussion you realise that your BOTH right?

This kind of thing happens all the time because we often think we know something, and if we think we know something we are not interested in listening to what the other person has to say so we can’t see that they too are right.

In the best selling book, How to Get a Bigger Bite out of Life, George Faddoul says that instead of wasting your time and energy ardently defending what you know, you should take the time to discover what it is that you don’t know.

The image above illustrates why we should always keen an open mind, because the young woman is there in the image and the elderly lady is there too.

Steven Covey says, “Seek first to understand then to be understood”. These are powerful words which go to the heart of what NLP is all about.

In one of my favourite films, Dead Poets Society, the teacher John Keating stands on his desk and proclaims to his students, “I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.”

A valuable life lesson, I’m sure you would agree.

Success Story: Maureen Hamilton

Maureen Hamilton shared her QUIT success story with the QC Seminars team…

My name is Maureen Hamilton and I am a successful Quit Cigarettes in 60 Minutes Specialist based in Bald Hills in Queensland.

I heard about the Quit Cigarettes in 60 Minutes business training through my daughter Simone. She sent me a QC Seminars brochure, which promised that I could earn $1,000 a day by helping people to stop smoking.

At first I was very sceptical. But then I had a thought, “Well, what if it’s true?”

I know the devastating effects that smoking can have on a family – my husband died at 47 from lung cancer and heart disease.

Although this was a major tragedy for someone so young to die, it strengthened my resolve to help as many people as I possibly can to live a healthier more prosperous life.

This is why I decided to become the best Quit Cigarettes in 60 Minutes Specialist I can be… and to be honest it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

Most of my clients have been smoking for years – my oldest client was 76, this just goes to show that it is never too late to quit smoking and change your life for the better.

I’ve been practicing as a Quit Cigarettes in 60 Minutes since January 2011 and I’ve seen over 120+ clients.

I have trained as a general nurse, midwife and in the areas of mental health and children’s behavioural issues.

When I was doing my nursing training, I learned a very important lesson, “prevention is better than cure”.

It is very empowering to be able to help my clients achieve good health.

Being a part of a network of leading specialists using the most effective process available today to quit cigarettes in 60 minutes… with an astonishing success rate of 97.5% is hugely rewarding. This is a proven system that has worked for thousands of clients.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

A college student challenged a senior citizen, saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his. “You grew up in a different world,” the student said. “Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers…”

Taking advantage of a pause in the student’s litany, the senior citizen said, “You’re right. We didn’t have those things when we were young; so we invented them! What are you doing for the next generation??”

How to become a Modern Day Alchemist

A lesson from George Faddoul’s best selling book, “The Modern Day Alchemist from the Land of the Pharaohs”:

By implementing a few simple changes, a Modern Day Alchemist, can turn lead into gold and dramatically affect every aspect of their life, and have a tremendous impact on the lives of everyone around them.

Take ‘Health & Fitness’ for instance – Here’s some food for thought:

• An apple a day… keeps the doctor away. You’ve heard this truism, have you not? One of my mentors, personal development coach Jim Rohn simply asked: “What if it’s true?”
• A little walk every day… This will help you connect with the elements – Earth, Air, Fire, Sun and Water
• Half a dozen daily push-ups

In the area of Personal Growth & Development you could…

• Take time to think and plan
• Learn from mentors, read their books. Make it a habit of reading for some 30 minutes each day; that’s how you’ll get to discover the ‘real’ secrets of the ages.
• Keep learning – it will keep you forever young, to get you started, here’s a list of my all time favourite literary classics.
  • “The Bible” (a book I recommend you read before you meet its author) including the book of Job & The Gospel of Matthew 20-1/16) or any other Religious book of your inclination, like the Qur-an, the Torah or any Buddist or Hindu Sacred texts
  • “Don Quixote” by Cervantes
  • “Hamlet” by Shakespeare
  • “Faust” by Von Goethe
  • “Cosmic Consciousness” by Richard Bucke
  • “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz
  • “Any book” by Ken Wilber describing his Integral Model.

Now let’s look at our “Social” side of life. What about we start with a little…

• Smile. Then we can laugh and find the best in people. You can also…
• Select your friends with care, and become the ideal neighbour, and…
• Be charitable. This is an abundant universe.

What about taking care of your “Family”

• Surprise them. Go the movies, eat out etc…
• Make time for your children. Tuck them in. Read to them some bedtime stories.

I used to sing John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” to my children, however, I changed it to suit my daughters “Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer, the monster’s gone and you daddy’s here, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful girls…”

Now here are some simple modern day alchemical steps which will help turn ‘relationships’ into Gold:

• Start a birthday and a Christmas diary and send out cards as often as you can. I used to buy books by the hundreds and send them out instead of cards. My friends would keep them for years on end. Changing other people’s lives for the better at every opportunity you get, is a sure way to become the “modern day alchemist” yourself.
• Guinness Book of Records world holder Joe Gerard a person with the highest number of cars sold, in one year, used to send a card every month to everyone on his database. To this day, Joe holds the record for the highest number of cars sold by one individual in any one year.
• Work out what it is you’re looking for in others, and than very gradually, become that person yourself.

What about your ‘Spiritual’ side of life? What little steps can a modern day alchemist take to improve that often neglected part of life? Well what about…

• Listening to a sermon. An hour a week – not much to ask.
• Always strive for and be on the lookout for win-win outcomes
• Live up to and uphold your personal principles, and gently and assertively enforce your boundaries
• Allow your word to become law in the Universe

Here’s the best alchemical advice I can give you relating to your finances from the Richest Man in Babylon…

• Save 10% of every dollar that comes through your hot little hands, starting today. This little tip alone, done repeatedly, will make you a millionaire in no time at all. Here’s another place where a lot of people falter when mapping out their future finances. Let’s say they desire one million dollars in ten years. People tend to divide the $1,000,000 by 10 to equal $100,000 then they divide that by 52 (52 weeks in a year) to equal approximately $2,000 a week. This figure seems so large that they give up before they even begin. The problem with that is, they haven’t heard of the “J” curve, what I call the “accelerator” where nothing seems to happen for a while, but suddenly some time later, incredible results begin to manifest. This is real Alchemy at work. A little bit, returns a lot.

Maybe you want to go back to school, lose 10 kilos, or make up with that person that you had a falling out with years ago.

For many of us it is terribly easy to become complacent. We act as if we are going to live forever – that our dreams can wait. Because of this so many opportunities remain dreams until it is too late.

“All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”
— T. E. Lawrence, “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom”

Most of us are too busy paying off a mortgage, or a car that the really important things in life like having fun, or appreciating a loved one, or looking after our health fall to the bottom on our list of priorities.

As teenagers we think “I’ll get around to that when I’m in a serious relationship”. In our twenties we say to ourselves that “I’ll get around to it when I have a secure career – or when I get married”. Then it turns into “I’ll get around to it when the kids have started school – when the kids have finished university – when we move into a bigger house – when the kids move out and get married – when I retire – and then all of a sudden – oops, it’s suddenly too late…!”

What’s on your “I’ll get around to doing that – one day” list?

It’s definitely worth thinking about.

Many of us wait until we have a gun to our head to spur us into action. We try to fight off ageing when we reach middle age, we change our diet and start taking food supplements when we get sick or we begin to lavish attention onto a loved one after that person looks elsewhere for attention.

That’s not the time to make a fresh start.

Now in this moment… right now it is the perfect opportunity to make a QUANTUM CHANGE in your life. You can take the first step by enrolling into one of our NLP Scholarship Certification trainings

Perth: Thursday June 23 – Sunday June 26

Brisbane: Thursday June 30 – Sunday July 3

Sydney: Thursday July 7 – Sunday July 10

Carpe Diem! Seize the day… Make your lives extraordinary! Remember, that this life is not a dress rehearsal you must live every moment of life to the fullest.

California Dreaming with QC Seminars

QC Seminars has just completed our NLP Practitioner Certification® Scholarship training in Newport Beach, California. It was very successful 5-day training with over 300 students in attendance.

My Empire State of Mind

Roberta Faddoul shares her travel experiences from NYC:

“New York, New York, I want to be a part of it… I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps.” The lyrics to Frank Sinatra’s signature song truly get to the heart of what it felt like for me to finally visit the Big Apple!
I had a great time in NYC before our 5-day NLP Practitioner training in Newport.

I made sure to tick off all the major tourist spots… a HUGE highlight for me was the David Letterman show where I saw Lady Gaga (I must confess I am now one of her loyal monsters). I am also a HUGE Sex and the City fan so I was excited to see if NYC shopping would live up to the hype – and it really did. I came home with not one, not two but 16 pairs of fabulous new shoes and lots of pressies for my friends and family!

FADDOUL the label
Jessica Faddoul from QC Seminars has started fashion label – FADDOUL. We are so very proud of her and we wish her success and happiness in the future. You can see her amazing new collection via the FADDOUL fan page: www.facebook.com/faddoulthelabel

These shoes are made for walking

QC Inner Circle Newsletter Editor, Christine Faddoul will be competing in the City2Surf for the very first time this year! To sponsor Christine you can make a donation to her chosen charity – the Starlight Children’s Foundation – via her fundraising page: http://www.fundraise.city2surf.com.au/christine_faddoul

NLP Definition of the month

Tag questions a Milton model language pattern where a question is placed at the end of a statement, as in you’re getting a lot of value out of this, aren’t you? That was one, wasn’t it? They are designed to displace resistance, as both positive and negative are paced simultaneously thus displacing the attention of the listener.

Quote

“Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…”

— “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr Seuss

I recently visited some old friends – Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow and lion.

I’ve watched The Wizard of Oz countless time and during my last viewing the idea of the “yellow brick road” really resonated with me.

We are all given the opportunity to follow the yellow brick road, on this beautiful journey called life.

Just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, we must slip on our own ruby slippers to reach the Emerald City.

The Emerald City can signify any “destination” you are trying to reach in life – whether you want to improve your finances or your health, climb the corporate ladder or find true love.

Perhaps you are searching for balance, a simpler life, one with fewer headaches and less stress. Or maybe you are ready to embark on an exciting adventure.

Wherever your Emerald City lies you must have the courage to take that first exciting step somewhere over the rainbow.

In the words of Henry Thoreau, “go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined.”

When Dorothy begins to believe in herself she realizes that “the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”

The idea of believing in yourself and having the power to make positive change is one of the most important lessons from the Wizard of Oz.

Just when Dorothy gives up all hope of finding her way home, Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, reinforces the idea of personal power when she tells Dorothy that all she has to do is click her heels together and she will be home.

Dorothy had the power within her all along to reach her goal, and the same is true for you.

Like Dorothy, you are bound to face obstacles as you follow your very own yellow brick road, some of which may prove challenging. In Dorothy’s case, her biggest obstacle was the Wicked Witch of the West, who sent flying monkeys to capture Dorothy and abandon her in a poison poppy field.

However, despite these hurdles, Dorothy stayed on the yellow brick road and ultimately reached her destination. To do this, she relied heavily upon the help of her friends (her support system) —the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, her beloved dog Toto, and Glinda the Good Witch.

Why not make the conscious decision to follow your very own yellow brick road?
Even though the road may be difficult, and you may face many twists and turns, it is well worth the journey.

In order to succeed you must become your own Good Witch of the North. Be kind and patient with yourself as you focus on goals, gain courage, build a support system, and follow your dreams.

NLP Definition of the month

Feedback can be visual, auditory, kinaesthetic or auditory – digital information (internal or external) coming back to you as a result of your behaviour.

Positive feedback encourages you to continue with the same behaviours.

Negative feedback is news of difference and encourages changing your behaviours.

Feedback allows you to grow. Remember the presupposition ‘there is no failure, only feedback’.

Quote

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why we call
it ‘The Present’.”

—- Eleanor Roosevelt

Humour

Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96, live together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts one foot in and pauses. “Was I getting in the tub or out?” she yells.

The 94-year-old hollers back, “I don’t know, I’ll come up to see.” She starts up the stairs and stops. She shouts, “Was I going up or going down?”

The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful”, and knocks on wood for good measure. Then she yells, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”

A lesson from George Faddoul’s best-selling book, How to Get a Bigger Bite out of Life.

Have you ever wondered what it is that will make a difference in your life in the next five years?

The books you read and the people you meet, the people you meet and the books your read.

If you don’t meet anyone new and if you’re not reading anything new, how will things change for you? If you don’t do anything different in the next five years than you did in the last five years then how will anything change? So remember, the books you read and the people you meet, and nowadays we add to Charlie Tremendous Jones’ famous quote, and the seminars you take.

The books you read and the people you meet, and the seminars you take.

When it comes to learning, there is an easy way and there is a hard way. Books help us learn from something called…O.P.E Other Peoples Experiences. Forget learning everything yourself, from your own experiences, you’re just going to run out of time, besides the tuition cost is too high. Other people have done great things that cost them dearly, and they have learned valuable lessons from them, and then, they have put these experiences in books. Buy the books, and study them, they’ll save you years, and make you millions.

There is a little story from Mark Twain he says…

A cat jumped on a hot stove, got burnt and jumped off the hot stove. The cat never again jumped on a hot stove, trouble is, he never again jumped on a cold stove either.

So, don’t just learn from your own experiences, learn from Other Peoples Experiences.

Here comes Peter Cottontail

Have you ever wondered why rabbits and eggs are associated with Easter?

Before Christianity, Eastre was known as the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fertility and rebirth. The word “Easter” was derived from the name of this Pagan goddess who was honoured every year during a festival at the vernal equinox.

The Easter Bunny was a rabbit spirit. In ancient times, he was called the “Easter Hare,” and became a symbol of fertility because hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births. The Easter egg hunt originated because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. Christians consider eggs to be “the seed of life” and so they became symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Team QC wishes all of our lovely students a Happy and Safe Easter!

Inspirational Quote

Arthur: Iris, in the movies we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason you are behaving like the best friend.
Iris: You’re so right. You’re supposed to be the leading lady of your own life, for god’s sake! Arthur, I’ve been going to a therapist for three years, and she’s never explained anything to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant.

— from the 2006 film, The Holiday

NLP Definition of the Month

Incongruence is when you don’t walk your talk. You are out of rapport with yourself and your unconscious mind. You have reservations, doubts, inner conflicts and disharmony regarding an outcome. Incongruence, internal conflict and not being totally committed to an outcome will show up in your external behaviour. Maybe sequentially, as in saying something, and doing something else, or simultaneously as in agreeing verbally but disagreeing physiologically with your head movements or doubtful tone of voice. As opposed to being congruent when goals, thoughts, and behaviours are all in alignment.

Humour

This guy goes into a doctor’s office. The doctor says, “Oh, Mr. Jones! We have the results of your test. Do you want the bad news first or the very bad news?” The guy shrugs and says, “Well I guess I’ll have the bad news first.” “Well the bad news is, you have 24 hours to live,” the doctor replies. The man is distraught, “24 hours to live? That’s horrible! What could be worse than that? What’s the VERY bad news?” The doctor folds his hands and sighs, “The very bad news is…I’ve been trying to contact you since yesterday.”
