Contribution Trip Notes - Transformation of Philippines Expanding

{Pictures to follow}
Dropping into the Philippines Landmark Education office/ after being away for 2 years I notice something has shifted. There is an abundance of new assistance all busy preparing production supplies or computer lists or phoning. And there is an air of intentionality and ownership that I do not remember before.


My friend Aljor Perras, the Center Manager & Registration Manager & ILP Weekend Leader & Seminar Leader, greets me and we catch-up quickly. Soon I'm assisting in my old familiar role, making Registration Fulfillment calls to complete participants Landmark Forum Information Forms & Hello Calls.

Transformation is alive & real here in Philippines. This is the Largest Landmark Forum (LF) in the Philippines! Turns out to be 184 participants starting on Friday July 20, 2007. And they have a LF scheduled for Cebu in October. Cebu is the 2nd largest city & in another part of the country.

And Aljor is not doing it all. There is Mylene as Course Supervisor with an abundance of CSA(s). Gids as Production Supervisor with several PSA(s). Lianne has has taken over Registration Fulfillment from Miguel as he does production. So many new faces as Iintroduction Leaders & Introduction Leader Program participants and assistants. Turns out there is 2 Introduction Leaders Programs running concurrently here.

I listen to one woman's "too busy" concern and acknowledge her commitment to the love & relationship with her daughter. And tell her it is the too busy conversation that she honors instead of promises to her daughter that is her barrier to experiencing the success she desires as a mother. She calls me back to thank me for our conversation and confirm her attendance at LF. She did in fact attend the LF and even put her name tag in the Interested in Assisting basket at the end of the weekend. Best of all was seeing her hugging & crying with her daughter on Sunday night, Day 3 of her LF.

Other highlights:

• Zeline De Leon assists again in Registration Fulfillment/ Admin with me. Another of the original heroes from 1st LF.
• Insights on discounting my contribution. A participant drops out during Day 2 of LF. I see that I failed to have him complete his LF Information Form so he had nothing at stake. I start to blame myself. Then I interrupt this and see that I'm discounting the 45 others that I DID complete their Information Forms and/or their Hello Calls so they were powerfully set-up to attend & complete their LF. From this I see that taking on an Accountability in playing a big game includes that risks of failure, and the the joy of success resulting in full Aliveness in living a life of contribution.
• LF Evening Session (LFES) has 531 guests. This is a major breakthrough for the Philippines.
• The LFES is attended by Emelia Marcos the former President's widow.
• The LF In Action Seminar has 97 people registered so it will be the largest Landmark 10 session Seminar series here in Philippines to date.
• Day 1 create All is Well and Day 1 normal kaos & "I'm too small" fear with my Registration Fulfillment Accountabilty goes amazingly smooth.
  
• Day 2 I create being Generous and have inspiring interaction with 3 street kids giving them Happy Meals, which they take home to families.
  
• Day 3 to LFES I take on Being Peacful & Enrolling. See how much I make things & people wrong. Practice giving up that and allowing peace to arise. Wonderfull complement to Being Enrolling as is allows me to really listen & get in other people's world.
• Coming FULL CIRCLE, the LF Leader was Poorani who I assisted at her LF here in Jan 2003, and with her as she Lead a LF in Orlando earlier this year.
