Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! I trust that you and your family had a wonderful holiday season and by now you are already well into your projects for 2005. This letter is my way of touching base with you, and to let you know about the exciting things that are happening here at Success Design International!

As many of you may know, my passion is teaching. It is always a thrill for me to see people in workshops and client sessions experience transformation, reach their goals and healthy relationships, let go of baggage from the past, and become more confidently proactive in creating success and abundance.

Hearing from so many of you about how our workshops and private sessions have assisted you in overcoming personal and professional hurdles particularly delights me, as my personal mission is to guide people in being the best they can be. It is also heartwarming for me to know that when you share what you have learned, it creates a ripple of positive energy in the world.

Some of you have expressed a desire to further develop your abilities through understanding more about how Hemispheric Integration can be applied in specific life situations at home and/or in the workplace. Some are wanting to become strong leaders in a particular field. Some have expressed interest in becoming effective coaches and trainers. Others want to teach and heal in their own unique ways.

In response to these requests, it brings me great pleasure to announce the formation of Almar Coaching University (ACU). The mission of this program is to bring peace and light to the world by developing strong leaders, teachers and coaches.

Almar Coaching University is born from my dream of creating a school where people learn how to share the skills and tools that Al and I have developed. Alex Esta, a graduate of our training programs and a results coach, has been an integral part in creating ACU and shares this dream and passion! Along with Al and I, Alex has a deep desire and commitment to take Hemispheric Integration out into the world.

Robert Kiyosaki, best selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad - a book about creating financial intelligence, describes IQ as a person having fine distinctions in a given topic or field. Almar Coaching University provides a learning environment where people gain greater distinctions in the relationship tools of Hemispheric Integration and NLP. Students receive support in learning how to use this work as effective coaches, counselors, consultants, mentors, teachers, trainers and leaders.

While many of the classes are geared towards those wanting to build their practice as a life skills coach, open enrollment will benefit anyone wanting to fine-tune their mastery in building healthy relationships through purposeful communication. A pre-requisite for enrollment in Almar Coaching University is completion of the Hemispheric Integration with NLP Life Skills Training and Certification Course - "Repower Your Life: Hemispheric Integration Training and Certification with NLP+ " or an approved equivalent level of experience and skill.

Which leads me to the next exciting news! Al's quest and intrigue for this year is launching a line of DVD and CD products through Almar Worldwide Distance Learning. Our goal in creating these home-study products is to send the powerful tools of Hemispheric Integration to an expanded worldwide audience. You will be receiving more detailed information soon about the upcoming trainings and programs that ACU has to offer, along with information about how to apply.

And, for those of you who are already graduates of this program, we invite you to take the next step in learning finer distinctions in how your brain functions for success by participating in the Hemispheric Integration with NLP Advanced Mastery course which begins in 2007 (dates to be announced).

We look forward to continuing our journey with you soon!

Warmly,
Marilyn
