On May 26/28 Patrick was in Rome, delivering a sales seminar for the local WISE group, In-formazione. 94 business owners and professional salespeople attended. Again, a great success. People in Rome are amazing, high-tone and full of life!

On May 14 and 15 Patrick Valtin was in Riga (Latvia), to deliver a “People Management” seminar for the local WISE consulting group, LENY. 23 publics attended. It was a very successful and high-toned seminar.

On May 17 Patrick delivered the same seminar (People Management) in Kalingrad, for the local WISE group Intention. Over 90 publics attended. Great success, many books were sold and the WISE group had immediate requests for more services from many attendees.

Back in Moscow, from May 18 to May 20, Patrick delivered 3 days for the local Hubbard College of Administration – 2 days on Marketing and 1 day on People Management. A total of 122 people attended.

On a recent trip to Kazakhstan, Klaus suddenly became weak and had to be urgently hospitalized. I happened to land in Almaty that day. I was able to be with him for two days, helping him to go through all the medical trouble. Klaus remained serene and very calm, at all times. He even had the guts to make jokes and made fun of my French accent, while I was controlling the commotion among the doctors.

Klaus was an amazing being. I used to call him the “seriously unserious!” as he had a unique talent to fake seriousness and make everyone cry of laughter during his lectures. But he was also a source of inspiration for a lot of us. I was personally very much driven by his competence and leadership in what he was doing best: teaching others how to succeed and be happy in life!

Klaus will not be forgotten. His works remain with us; his talent for reaching thousands of people will always inspire us. I am proud to have met him and to have had a chance to learn from him.

Peggy, his wife, is the most powerful and inspiring lady I have ever met. Her presence with us is a great consolation and will help all of us endure Klaus’ sudden leaving. With Peggy, his “seriously un-seriousness” will continue to make us laugh and his talent will continue to inspire each of us.

I am proud to have met Klaus and to have been one of his close friends.

Patrick Valtin, March 4, 2008.

Patrick Valtin delivered his famous “sales Strategies” seminar to more than 170 attendees. It was a great success and many practical drills were performed by the public.

Taiwan is truly a unique country. People are very enthusiastic, hard workers and always willing to learn more. The food is great and Taiwanese have an exclusive sense of hospitality.

Patrick Valtin was also invited to deliver a special sales lecture in Guangdong, China. A rapidly expanding city, Guangdong hosts hundreds of factories. It also has more 5-star hotels than any other city in China – the obvious sign of a strong international economic presence.

What happens today in Russia is indeed very impressive; more entrepreneurs start a new business in Russia than in any other country in the world!

“Effective company and competent personnel – how to create business expansion and your success”

XI Annual WISE CIS Convenion 2007 took place in a beautiful place – recreation center “Pokrovskoye”, 50 km from Moscow – from 4th till 7th of October.  When we came to the place through weekend traffic jams of Moscow and Moscow suburbs  “Pokrovskoye” met us with cheerful lights.

285 people (Highest Ever!) took part in the convention – the business owners and executives who apply LRH admin tech in their companies, some staff of such companies and also their partners and clients who have been invited to the convention by WISE members and WISE consultants. Representatives of seven CIS and Baltic countries (former Republics of Soviet Union) from dozens of cities were present at the convention.

Some of the slides from the President’s presentation:

Then a special guest of the convention a WISE consultant Patrick Valtin came up on the stage to deliver the first seminar.

The subject was “How groups operate. What to do to prevent them from a breakdown. The tools to make groups more effective”. There were different questions from attendees

and practicals during his talk.

Nobody stayed impassive.

и

He also delivered a short seminar for newcomers on his favorite subject “Basic data on sales. Components of understanding”

and a seminar for the whole audience “A Code of a WISE member – protection for your business!”

The convention program was very intensive.

CO WISE CIS Vladimir Kuropiatnik delivered a seminar “The WISE Membership Orgboard. Benefits of a WISE member”. The attendees got a better reality on what is WISE and what is the role of every WISE member on the WISE orgboard.

Some WISE members gave examples of their activities. On the picture below: the President of Moscow Business Expansion Club Artem Babakhanov talks about BEC activities. (BEC Moscow has been a winner of the International BEC Birthday Game for the last 3 years.)

There were a number of round tables which draw a lot of attention and were very successful. CO WISE CIS conducted a round table on how to organize in-house training for a company. Over 80 people came to share their own successful actions and to learn others’ experience. At the end everybody who didn’t have yet an in-house academy raised their hands on the question “who has decided to open an academy this year?”.

Another round table which got a lot of interest was “Consultants’ activities – orientation on product. MAKH implementation in clients’ companies; problems and solutions”.  

And of course there was a round table “How to make your BEC productive and attractive to public. Successful actions on how to organize a BEC”. This round table was traditionally conducted by the Membership Activation Officer Sergey Hohlenko (who is responsible for MAKH programs implementation) and the President of BEC Moscow Artem Babakhanov.

During the breaks the attendees could get promo materials, magazines, info letters about WISE activities and Hubbard management tech,

could buy LRH books and materials.

Leading WISE consultants delivered a few seminars on the subjects, which has been chosen based on survey results.

A WISE consultant from Saint Petersburg Vlad Musatov delivered a seminar “How to implement the Model of Admin Know-How programs fast. How to get support from your staff and expand stably”:

A WISE consultant from Ukraine Aleksander Vysotskiy delivered a seminar “Key functions of the owner”:

Another WISE consultant from Moscow Vladimir Sidorenko delivered a seminar on a very personal subject “A Code of Honor”:

There were many practicals in that seminar

There was also a briefing for Charter WISE members. Charter Committees of different regions prepared PowerPoint presentations and videos about their activities, their products and about plans for the future.

Presentations got a lot of interest and generate support and participation from the audience:

Traditionally all who renewed their WISE membership or became a WISE member for the first time got WISE T-shirts. Below are the ones who got their acknowledgement at the first day of the convention.
