Many years ago I had the distinct pleasure to work with a good friend of mine named Ronnie Walker. He grew up and spent most of his life in the southern part of the United States. Many of you won’t be surprised to hear that he had some really neat “southern sayings.”

 

One of his favorite questions was “Where have you been?” I always got a kick of how he would stretch out the word “have” sort of like “ha-a-a-ave”. And he asked that question even if it had only been 30 minutes or so since he last saw you. It was his way of saying “Hello”.

 

I know some of you are asking that same question about me and the CLEARthinking course. Except unlike Ronnie it’s been a whole lot longer than 30 minutes since you last heard from me. Well as it turns out there’s been a lot going on and that’s what I want to tell you about.

 

The CLEARthinking course was actually released and available online in early April. This was done to coincide with a mini workshop I presented during a conference in Orlando.

 

The results of the workshop far exceeded my expectations. Not only did the participants rave about the CLEARthinking method, they also provided some very valuable feedback on how I could improve the course even more. As a result I decided to make the CLEARthinking course materials temporarily unavailable so that I could incorporate their suggestions. That’s what I’ve been doing over the past few months.

 

Another interesting thing happened during the conference. The featured speaker was Kevin Hogan. He is an internationally recognized expert in selling strategies, body language and influential communication. He reviewed the CLEARthinking materials and now plans to include them as part of a decision making course he will be conducting in January 2010. During the past few months I have also been working to incorporate some changes necessary for that to happen.

 

So here’s the schedule. The free CLEARthinking Minicourse is in final revision and will be available again by the 15th of November. The full CLEARthinking course will be re-released in early December.

 

Thanks again for your support and patience. I think your’e going to find that it was worth the wait.
