New Director Academy/Training DayHas anyone taken the either of these? What did you think of them?
 
I attended the very first one they did and it was packed full of great information. I highly recommend it to all new directors!

I will be taking the Director Training when it comes to Raleigh, NC in October!
 
I still have not taken New Director Training (just too far away), but I did take Director Training. I thought it was great!

I went to Directors training when it was in Sacramento a couple of months ago. Well worth it. I would recommend to everyone.
Beth, I heard that New Directors Training was great, I have a PC friend that went too.
 
I'm excited to be signed up for the one in Dallas this month!

I'll be there too!
 
I went to the one at Home Office in April. It was great and really helpful.
 
NDA is totally worth it!!!
 
I want to attend one, but they have not had one lined up near me since I promoted in July. I wish there was one closer and soon. I have had NO director training at all. Just reading the handbook.
 
I didn't take NDA until about 8 months after I promoted. The 8 months I waited for it I took teleclasses and read through the Coaching and Training New Consultants and the Leadership Handbook. Set aside some time each week to go through all this info. The rest of the time should be working on your personal business and then working with your team.
 
Do your uplines offer any training for new directors? My director gave me very little but she knows I'm a self-learner (well, that's the excuse I'll give her). I read, took classes, and asked questions as I needed. Perhaps you could ask your director or upline director for more guidance.

It's crazy that a consultant would promote and then have to search for training. Their director and upline should be offering guidance as soon as the new director is getting close so they can take on their new position with confidence.
 
My upline was waiting for someone else to promote to do a group training. But now that isn't happening soon. So I wait and see if I get training. I'm mostly a sef learner too. But a little guidence would be nice.

What's your take?
 
Yes, but to k-fed? hmmmm it's a lose lose either way!
 
A year ago...who would have thought anyone would think K-Fed was the better choice as a parent! :eek: So sad for the little boys, they are ultimately going to be paying the highest price for this mess.

I definitely think the kids should be away from Britney right now. She was given clear guidelines by the judge as to what to do to keep the kids. She didn't do ONE thing on the list. Kevin did everything that was asked of him. Until she gets her head on straight, she has no business parenting those children on a full time basis. She can't even take care of herself let alone small children.

I heard somewhere that she makes $700,000 a month. That's plenty to live on for a while so step out of the limelight and get it together! Ditch the idiots around you that are enabling you and seek wise counsel!!
 
I don't watch much tv, so I don't know what is going on. However, I do not like B.S. I never have. I think she is a bad influence on children. I do not allow my children to watch her, buy her music, or listen to her on the radio. Unfortunately a lot of other "stars" are in the same boat as far as I'm concerned. We live in a sad world and the children are the ones who suffer the most.

Unfortunately that is not going to happen until she REALLY hits rock bottom. THe only way I see that occuring, is a with a near death experience. She appears to be so mentally confused that she doesn't have an objective view of herself.
 
It is all so sad because she was really popular in the beginning. I always wonder what caused her spiral downward. It is really sad now that the kids are involved.
Jamie Lynn her sister is now in the lime light. I wonder what her take on all of this is.
 
I promise that I'm not obsessed with Britney or search for info on her :D but I did read another article on her today.

She missed her visitation with the kids this weekend because her intercom was broken. She was waiting at her house with her cousin for the boys to be dropped off. One of K-Fed's "people" called the cousin and said they were taking the boys home because Britney didn't answer the intercom. WHAT???!!

That sounds so stupid! If she is supposed to be home and the intercom isn't working, do they not have her phone number to call and say "We're at the gate!" They leave and then call the COUSIN's cell phone!

Sounds like the entire group doesn't have a complete brain amongst them!!!
 
I think they should be taken away from both parents and put in a loving foster home. I do not see either one of them as a good parent right now. So sad for these children.

I completely agree! Until she gets some help and gets back on track she shouldn't raise them.

That was the first story but apparently that isn't what happened. She didn't want anything to do with the parenting coach so she missed her visitation. I think she thinks she is above the law.

I also think that she is addicted to the limelight. I think she wants to be seen everyday. Her picture gets taken every single day!!

TMZ just reported that she applied for a job as a bartender. :confused:
 
Britney's true colors are showing. She is not very bright and should have never started having children. She's a lowlife with too much fame and fortune. It is time for her to grow up! Get a clue!

Ah, you beat me to it! I read the second story, which BTW makes more sense!, and came here to post it. If the second story is the truth, the judge needs to step in and rip into her. The babies are in the car crying for their mom and she's too proud to talk to someone that can help her get them back for good so she ignores them??? What in the world is going through that girl's head?

I think she truly is mentally disturbed. It's just my opinion, but I think that after she had both kids so close together she didn't get her head straight, and she is totally messed up. When she shaved her head I knew right then she would never be the same. I mean you would have to be REALLY depressed or mental to do something THAT drastic.

I am surprised she even has any hair at all with how often she dyes it!

I feel bad for the babies, but I think they are better off without their mother.
