“There is no fairer way to gauge something than by results, sometimes harsh but always fair.“ From If How-To’s Were Enough We Would All Be Skinny, Rich & Happy
Klemmer & Associates Leadership Training
Experience
 |
| Brian Klemmer (1950 - 2011) |
I had the honor of meeting Brian
Klemmer during my months of experiential leadership training with Klemmer &
Associates. I am so thankful that I had that opportunity to get to know Brian
and his coaching because he left this earth way too soon. Fortunately for all
of us, he left an amazing legacy with his books, his training company, and the
thousands of leaders who completed his training and are now dedicated to making
this world a better place with no one left behind.
As a Samurai, someone who has
graduated from the top level of the Klemmer & Associates training and
earned my “PhD” in Leadership Development, I can share that a decade after I
graduated, the lessons I learned are still sinking into my subconscious and
shaping my behavior. If How-To’s Were Enough We Would All Be Skinny, Rich & Happy gives the reader a good
introduction to Brian Klemmer’s philosophy on what it takes to build the
strength of a Samurai in order to create a life of significance and success.
Key Concepts
The premise of Brian’s book is
right in the title – If How-To’s Were Enough. You might think that with a
strong intention and the right mechanism, you’ll get the results you seek.
Wrong! There are multiple mechanisms for obtaining the results you seek. You’d
see this principle in action if you participated in the Klemmer &
Associates Champions Workshop. Don’t get hung up on “how” you’re going to
achieve your result; put your attention on your intention, i.e., make it
stronger and stronger each day and the “how’s” will appear. Really!
Another key lesson in If How-To’s Were Enough We Would All Be Skinny, Rich & Happy is if you’re harboring any of the 3 R’s –
resistance, revenge, or resentment you are throwing unnecessary obstacles in
your own success path. Brian offers solid techniques to eliminate these
obstacles.
In Chapter #7, The Power of Balance,
Brian explains how to evaluate your life balance in four key areas – mental,
spiritual, emotional, and physical. You can score yourself and then set
goals to improve your scores where needed.
You can easily read If How-To’s Were Enough We Would All Be Skinny, Rich & Happy in a few hours. To get the most out of this book,
however, follow Brian’s recommendation to tackle one chapter per week, absorb
the concepts and then follow Brian’s suggested practices. Brian is a master at
breaking down concepts with clear examples and stories to help you apply his
coaching to your own life.
Significance
Do you want to live a life of
significance? In all my years as a student of personal development, Brian Klemmer is the
person who has most inspired me to live a life of significance. Granted, it has
taken me many years to accept that responsibility and to get into action to
shape that sort of life.
The direction I’ve taken since
completing the Klemmer & Associates experiential leadership training just
keeps feeling better and better. The more I understand his principle of
“leaving no one behind”, the more responsible I feel to leave a legacy that
will far outlive me. I am a Compassionate Samurai.
I regret that you will not be able
to meet Brian Klemmer, but I can only hope that you gain inspiration for making
your own life significant by absorbing yourself in this praise-worthy book, If How-To’s Were Enough We Would All Be Skinny, Rich & Happy.
