Academy for Conscious Golf & Business Launches The Conscious Golf & Business Seminar for Executives Contact Marjorie McIntosh 800-688-0772 www.consciousgolf.biz OJAI, Calif. (August 6, 2003) - A new series of seminars has been launched for business executives who want to maximize their use of golf as a business tool while learning new skills to make significant breakthroughs in their business and personal lives. Conducted by the Academy for Conscious Golf & Business based in Ojai, Calif., the seminars were created and are being led by the Academy's founder, Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., a noted motivational speaker and author of more than 25 books, including Conscious Golf; and Mark Grody, founder and president of corporategolf.com, and author of the book Corporate Golf: How To Play The Game For Business Success. Each Conscious Golf & Business Seminar is conducted over 2 1/2 days - either in Ojai or at a corporation's home base. Each seminar is tailored to meet the individual needs of each company's executives. According to Hendricks and Grody, many benefits can be accrued from taking part in a Conscious Golf Seminar: Learn how to focus in a way that saves you time, energy and effort. The result: higher productivity, more available time and greatly enhanced clarity of communication. Learn how to achieve your most important business and personal objectives with a sense of ease and harmony. The result: move from forcing results to creating and allowing desirable outcomes without stress. Learn both why and how you produce the desirable as well as the undesirable events in life, golf and business. The result: once you learn to shift into this master skill, then business, life and golf become one vast, unified field for life-long discovery, learning, profit and satisfaction. Learn the right way and the wrong way to do business on the golf course. The result: build productive and long-lasting business relationships on the golf course - relationships that literally "drop to the bottom line" of your business. Learn on-course strategies that lead to establishing new business relationships and enhancing existing ones. The result: create a dynamic "business management plan" for playing "business golf." Learn a new system of time management so simple and easy-to-use that you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. The result: the system, called Next Essential Action Technology, allows you to get twice as much done in half the time every day. Learn simple tools of stress management. The result: these tools let you stay calm and cool on the golf course and help you eliminate fatigue and nervous tension from your workday. Each seminar includes interactive sessions in a classroom/discussion setting and a round of golf featuring role-playing and developing a plan for playing effective business golf to build and enhance business relationships on the golf course. "When used correctly, golf can be an extremely powerful business tool," say Hendricks and Grody. "Likewise, golf can be an incredible personal tool to use in achieving and sustaining deep enjoyment and profitable results, not only in business, but in life, itself. "In golf, business and life, a person must be able to perform on demand in ever-changing environments and circumstances," they say. "Golf, like business, is a true lifetime game, with profound learning available from beginner to expert levels at any age." Tom Boyer, CEO of the Academy for Conscious Golf, adds, "From a business standpoint, how likely are you to get a four- or five-hour meeting with the CEO of a company you'd like to do business with? Pretty slim," he states, "unless you're holding the meeting on a golf course where a round of golf can be like a half-day sales call."
