Georgia, home of the Atlanta Braves, Coca Cola, CNN, the Okefenokee swamp and of course Network TwentyOne International’s Global HQ… so of course a righteous event is when you would have expected and sure enough, that what we got! A great iReport from that hard working Network TwentyOne North America Events team …

The East Coast conference in Atlanta, Georgia was fabulous! Jules Dornan kicked Friday night off by sharing from her heart and encouraging us all. She made us laugh and cry! Jules passed the baton to Jim Dornan who was our very special closing speaker for the evening. His sage advice accompanied by his well earned credibility made for a memorable night. IBO’s were so grateful to have Jim present and doing so well.
 
Nancy did an amazing job getting us started on Saturday morning. We were inspired and equipped! Dave shared with us about new tools that have the potential to help us take our teams and our businesses to the next level. The next part of the program allowed us to “listen in” to a conversation amongst growing and successful IBO’s as a panel discussed things such as why and how they got where they are today. They candidly shared about obstacles overcome and the impact of the business on their family lives and more. Jim wrapped it up as only he could and spent an hour challenging and teaching us to be all we can be.
 
Saturday afternoon was full as Focus Sessions and Breakout meetings were in full force. The breakouts were perfect for sharing specific training on fabulous Amway products and the Focus Sessions allowed teams to reconnect and recognize growth amongst the team.
 
Saturday night began with an air of excitement as people lined up over an hour before doors opened. The room was full and expectation was high and attendees were not disappointed! Recognition punctuated the whole evening as many were recognized for growth in the business. RD Saunders shared with us what is going on all around the world because of the work of Network of Caring and it was moving to see so many lives being impacted. Next we had the pleasure of hearing from a new Silver couple, a Gold producer who had overcome a lot just to be there, and a Platinum Elite couple. Cheers and tears followed. Jim closed the evening as only he could do after such an exciting evening and we left on a high note.
 
Sunday began with Janos sharing from his wealth of experience. His gratefulness for the role Network 21 had played in his business’ growth was evident. In closing we heard both from Jim and Nancy Dornan and it was perfect. We were challenged and taught, and encouraged and prodded all at once by a team that has helped us every step of the way.“

“The West Coast conference was set amidst the beauty of Palm Springs which proved to be a fabulous setting for a great time together. By 8 p.m. the ballroom was buzzing as people were connecting and introducing new friends to long time business friends and Chris Snow did a great job pulling everyone together and getting us started. He introduced us to Jules Dornan who captivated us with her stories from the heart and current experiences of working the business. Attendees were encouraged and motivated. Mike Wilson had a tough act to follow, but he did a fabulous job sharing from his wealth of experiences and his commitment to a dream.
 
Saturday morning took off as John Herren introduced us to Arnie Miller who shared from his vast knowledge of health about the dangers of oxidative stress and the value of Nutrilite. Jim continued the morning of learning by sharing with us about icook and other product that has the potential to help so many people and grow our businesses at the same time. He challenged us to do the work and watch the results that follow. We were left without excuses, and inspired to go do it! Dave wrapped it up by sharing about the new tools Network 21 is providing to help you take your team to the next level.  Attendees loved the new Associate Pack that offers so much at such a small cost and  it sold out immediately!
 
Saturday evening was exciting! We had the privileged of recognizing new Leaders Clubs, new ELC’s, VIP’s and Fast Track participants as well as a new Gold, Platinum, and Ruby producer. Mike Wilson told us about the amazing work Network of Caring is doing all around the world and we were reminded that at the core of Network 21 is a desire to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Mike closed the evening sharing with us from his broad wealth of knowledge and experience. People left the evening inspired by the speakers, those recognized and what is going on around the world as a result of Network of Caring.
 
The program on Sunday highlighted leaders who have years of experience and a willingness to share what they have learned along the way. Nancy Morton started us off with great content and heart and then Stuart Menn shared not only his story, but also a SONG that was as Dave Dornan said “A moment in time.” We then had the opportunity to hear from Nancy, David and Jules Dornan. It was amazing to hear each of their perspectives, as they shared what has worked well as well as some of the challenges they have had. It was obvious that we are blessed to be a part of this team that has the experience of success, as well as the heart to help others succeed.”

OK, so here’s the deal … Russia is such a big country that posting an individual iReport for each event were getting a little ridiculous. So from now on we’ll do them in big chucks, or “surges” as the Russians refer to them … kind of sounds like a military campaign but whatever. 

To say that the Russians have a knack for “flowery” speech is perhaps an understatement … Therefore I bring you a bouquet of iReports from the passionate staff of Network TwentyOne Russia!

“WES in St. Petersburg June 22 – 24 started the summer surge of weekend seminars in Russia. Stunning speakers Maja and Jarsi Zupet with a gift to inspire the audience complimented with the audience’s response, exclusively designed stage, Maja’s speeches drawn from her experience of a unique lady with a character like a blend of strength and fragility.
 
Next weekend brought a marvelous and unsurpassed experience. One country, same dates, but three WES seminars, two of which were in the same city! This can be only in Russia! WES in Moscow and two WESes in Yekaterinburg June 29 – July 1. Tremendous Maja with incredible power and energy highlighted the crowd again on WES in Moscow. And guest speakers in Yekaterinburg  did a great job speaking on two venues one by one. Executive  Diamond from Australia Amgad Ghabrial set a good example of how not to stop on your way to your dream. The guest speaker from Ukraine Olga Levashova touched everyone’s soul with her heart-breaking and tear-jerking life story at a Dream Night.
 
Next WES July 6 – 8 took place in the heart of the Siberia – Novosibirsk. The participants were welcomed by  warm weather and very special video message from Jim and Nancy Dornan.
One of  the first diamonds in the USA Mike Wilson and one of the youngest Russian diamonds Vyacheslav Petkevich were guest speakers at this WES. People had a chance to see great experience and wisdom on one hand and energy and  perseverance on the other hand. Everyone found something for himself.
 
In completing of summer surge of weekend seminars was two WESes in the south of Russia in Krasnodar and Rostov,
which were very successful thanks to the brilliant guest speakers Chris and Rita MAtindas from Indonesia and Julia Zoteeva from Yekaterinburg who did the best to encourage people and give new dreams. And local leaders added their share of experience and emotions so that the seminars will give a new push to the local and not only local business.
 
But Russian WESs wouldn’t be Russian WESs without high level recognitions!
New Emeralds Suzanna and Genrikh Arutyunyan, Teena Yola and Franko Annok, Vera Lukina and Sergey Kornienko and new Diamonds Alexander and Galina Vashenko were congratulated by thousands of people!“

If you have never heard the Hetnals or the Zolochevskiyes speak at a Network TwentyOne event you are missing something special… but to hear them both in the same weekend??? Well that’s just AMAZING. Sure wish I could have made it to this seminars for the great teaching and inspiration from leaders in the Ukraine, Russia, Poland and Turkey… as well as some yummy Chicken Kiev . Photos and iReport below compliments of the Network TwentyOne Ukraine events team.

“Summer WESs in Ukraine: the first one was held on July 20th-22nd. After all of the construction and improvements that went into preparing Kiev for the Football Championship Euro 2012 (that’s Soccer for you Americans), the city was ready for business events to involve any number of participants.

The First Special Guest Speakers Les & Mira Hetnal represented the classical approach to Network TwentyOne training, a beautiful and friendly couple, which demonstrated a unique personal example, shared their experience, teach tolerance, determination and utter commitment to Network TwentyOne training and the Amway business.

The Second Special Guest Speakers were Konstantin & Olesya Zolochevskiye – young couple from Russia, who already enjoy great popularity with the audience of Ukrainian seminars. It is amazing how this young couple combines their ability to work hard and achieve their goals, to dream big and truly enjoy their lives. Konstantin is a natural born speaker and a positive example for all young participants of our seminars.

Weekend Seminar number 2 was on July 27-29 – despite the terrible heat we all hurried to the venue, where we could cool off, work on our future plans, study and even dance, celebrating the new Emerald recognitions … but first things first!

The speakers from Russia Marina Zolochevskaya and Sergei Aletkin – these talks were keenly followed by all of thr attendees: the experience and confidence in the Amway business, it all passed to the audience and make our seminars so valuable to the ABOs.

Speaker from Turkey Umit Corapci, convinced all that the business can be fun and bring a real pleasure. But most importantly, we should not lose energy after the event and use it for work and achieving results.

Dream night passed as a single breath: the recognition of new Emerald Schigol Vladimir and Svetlana, new Emerald Svisenko Sergey and Tatiana!!! Our warmest congratulations and wishes for success and growth!

We are grateful to all the Leaders, guests of the seminars, our local speakers for their work. We are looking forward to meet you all at Go Diamond seminar in Yalta!”

One of my favorite markets anywhere … one might say it’s a real “cracker”! Network TwentyOne is large and in charge in the UK and creatively supporting Network TwentyOne affiliated UK IBOs in new and exciting ways!

Founders Crown Ambassador Aleksey Mautanov was our guest speaker at this Autumn Regional Conference. His message to the ABO’s was simple, and very encouraging. ‘The business works if you work the business.

The event kicked off on Saturday evening with an inspirational video message to the UK from Jim Dornan. The event was buzzing from the start! The UK ABO’s left on Sunday focused and optimistic for the coming months as they reset goals and re-affirmed their commitment to Go & Grow.

First there was the Yalta Conference in 1945… then came Go Diamond Ukraine in Yalta in 2012. You be the judge which one was more exciting, enjoyable and informative! Fireworks shot off to the music of Olivia Newton John – Whoooaaa, how did I miss that!

“What could be more beautiful than the time spent on the seaside? … Only the time spent on the seaside in one of the most amazing cities of Ukraine with the best leaders of Network TwentyOne … Cecilia Karas, Elena Floroiu, Marek and Isabela Bujwicky, Igor and Valeria Haratin, Taras and Irina Demkura, Vera Arkhipova & Alexey Mautanov, Robert Angkassa and last but not least… Hans and Eva Nusshold!

And it’s all connected with one of the most important events of the year 2012 – Go Diamond in Yalta!
We are very grateful to our Guests Speakers Crown Robert Angkassa (Indonesia) and Crown Ambassador Hans & Eva Nusshold (Austria) for great contribution to the success and the positive outcome of the event. Your experience and wisdom are truly a core value of these meetings!

A rich program, time for relaxation and evening promenade on the seafront of Yalta, Emerald and Diamond meetings, time for counseling and great recognitions, special video message from Jim Dornan…we had it all!

The pride of the program were new achievers: new Silvers and above, Emeralds & Founders Emeralds, New Diamond Vladimir and Marianna Demihiny, New Diamond Shtogrin Igor and Natalia, New Founder Diamond Glushko Ivan and Svetlana, New Founder Diamond Vigul Vita, Founder EDC Pavlyuk Yaroslav and Valentina!

Festive fireworks accompanied by the song of Olivia Newton «Dare to dream! Dare to fly! Dare to be the heir, the chosen one to touch the sky» was very special and memorable one! Later on all new qualifiers could meet together, celebrate and take pictures at the special Reception.

Thank you all for the sincere performances, great attitude and wonderful memories!”

Anyone think the new Baltic Republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are slightly fired up to have their first Weekend Seminar and join the global family or Network TwentyOne affiliated Amway business owners? Impressive, inspirational and just cool… would have loved to hit that late night dancing Saturday night as I’ve been known to “bust a move” from time to time…

“WOW…It was The First WES in Baltic Republics and we almost put the house on fire!!!

Fantastic speakers from all over the Europe: Yulia and Evgeny Zoteev, Mats Holmberg, Else Bang, Susanna Hintikainen, Vyacheslav Petkevich and the most important guests: Hans and Eva Nusshold and last but not least, Leszek Krecielewski – Amway’s Eastern European Sales Director.

Exciting recognition that included the highest recognition in Baltic Republics, the first Diamonds from Estonia… Toivo and Anne Rande.

Amazing atmosphere and design. Network TwentyOne’s technicians showed high level of professionalism, designing venue the way that all audience could feel amazing. Additionally, there was a concert with a local star on Saturday evening, that made people dance long after midnight.

And finally a truly inspirational messages from Jim Dornan to local leaders what gave them new motivation. To quote from Jim’s video:

 “… and this is just the beginning of a long future, I believe, of successes and celebrations as you share with the people of the Baltics how great this business can be in their life, and how determined you are to lead by example, with your story and your courage and the principles that you have learned form your exposure, perhaps on CDs or from your upline or by attending seminars ….

… It is time now to have a great harvest locally and for you to turn around and reach out to other parts of Europe where the Amway opportunity remains available to you as well.”

WORLD! BE READY, BALTIC LEADERS HERE THEY COME!!!”

Very exciting iReport from the Network TwentyOne Hungarian Events team … sounds like there were a lot of moving parts to this one with so many languages and videos flying all over the place from one country to another. Hats off (which we are all wearing in the Autumn as nature starts to go to sleep ) for the great job gang!

In autumn nature starts to go to sleep until new life begins in spring but this is not valid to the nature of Network TwentyOne! It was proven in lot of countries among others in Debrecen, Hungary. We showed the world that no matter what season we have, Network TwentyOne is alive and wakes up whoever is attending a Network TwentyOne function. At the Central European Regional Conference the venue was totally packed with attendees from Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania and Hungary. There were four Weekend Seminars at the same time, Baltic WES, German WES, Italian WES and our event. On Friday each country had sent a message to the other countries, on Saturday and Sunday morning it was shown for the audience (n21guy comments: click here to see that post and video). These messages showed that Network TwentyOne is an international system and how successfully it works in Europe, too. We had 5 recognitions on Saturday evening: 1 Emerald, Valentina Aftenii from Romania, 1 Founders Emerald, Costel & Desy Ciobanu from Romania, 1 Diamond, Tibor & Piroska Torma from Hungary and 1 Founder Diamond, Elena & Dragos Floroiu from Romania, and 1 Founder Executive Diamond, Irénke Némethné from Hungary. The Diamond. On Sunday we had a special recognition; new Founder Double Diamonds, Alois & Sissy Petra Szuchar from Austria had recognition in Germany that was made visible in Hungary on video messages. A wonderful moment was when Hans and Eva Nusshold appeared on the screens and sent special messages to the high pin recognized leaders. We had a fantastic Crown Ambassador Guest speaker from Australia, Peter Cox. With his dynamic personality, he gave unforgettable moments to the audience. He was very enthusiastic and blew up the venue. On Sunday Peter Cox closed the Seminar with an uplifting speech, and that added wings to the ABOs and proved that Network TwentyOne never sleeps!

What a great idea… gather up 1,000 or so Russian Platinums and above, travel to a resort town on the Turkish coast and spend a week learning, celebrating and enjoying the rewards of a strong and profitable Amway business with successful Network TwentyOne leaders from around the world. Oh, and the fireworks were very cool…

“It was 2008 year when Russian Platinum ABOs and above went to Turkey to have a beautiful Go Diamond seminar. After that great experience they decided to repeat their journey and on 7th October 2012 Russian Platinum ABOs invaded Kemer, Turkey and conquered this beautiful place as Network 21 family!

There were unbelievable 7 days of rest and learning at the same time! The Hotel “Limra Limak Resort” was a paradise for everybody!

We had a very intensive seminar program full of amazing stories, experience sharing and teaching. Hans Nusshold attracted all audiences with his mature and humble posture at the stage, all attendees listened his stories and teachings in a big attention. Katalina Lovas and Peter Mercz is a beautiful and friendly couple, they demonstrated a unique personal example, shared their experience, teach tolerance, determination and utter commitment to Network 21 training and Amway business.

Everybody was amazed by delightful Sean’s speeches! He told his touching success story, shared experience, rode the bike on stage trying to ride over “barries and obstacles” on his way even when one of them was Network 21 Russian country manager! He got to know how brave Russian women are!

Dream night passed as a single breath. We had a record number of recognitions here, beginning from new Platinum ABO and ending with one of the highest pins as Founder Executive Diamonds! Reception for New Qualifications made it possible for all new achievers to make pictures with their uplines and guest speaker. And the cherry on top was the amazing firework accompanied by soundtrack from Pirates of the Caribbean, pointing out once again that Russian Leaders are truly most courageous and adventurous people!

Our warmest congratulations and wishes for further success and growth!

We are grateful to all Leaders, guests of the seminars for their work. We are looking forward to meet you all at Go Diamond seminar next time!”

Check out the latest from cub reporter J.G.  Network TwentyOne North America Events -

“We had a full and fun month of May! We began the month in Irvine, California with our West Coast Summer Conference during May 3-5. Crowns Skip and Susan Ross were our guest speakers and they helped us unpack our theme for the weekend, BELIEVE. Diamond Mike Wilson kicked off the conference with a message to get us thinking about the way we view our business. Network TwentyOne’s own R.D. Saunders took the stage next and offered great explanation on the personality types we often talk about. (Good thing, because if someone called me a Phleg melon one more time…). We had great teaching from Dave and Jules Dornan, wonderful recognition led by Diamonds Dane and Nancy Morton, and of course, much inspiring teaching from our Skip and Susan Ross. My favorite part of the weekend may just have been Skip Ross reading Dr. Seuss’ Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Best reading ever!

A few weeks later, we headed to the East Coast to Atlanta, Georgia for another amazing weekend. Our guest speaker was the energetic Diamond Mats Holmberg. If there was an award for the most animated, stage-jumping, fun-loving speaker, he would get it! Mats led our East Coast through the theme of Believe and brought great insight from his journey in the business. On recognition night we celebrated many new pin levels and heard an inspiring, practical message from Double Diamond János Demeter.

Whew, what a great round of Summer Conferences! Can’t wait for our North America Leadership Conference in September! Will you be there?!”

Heads up peeps, the Dornan family has decided to broadcast Jim’s funeral so all of his friends and family around the world can share in this special time of mourning and celebration.

The broadcast will begin at 11:00 AM EST on August 16, 2016 and continue throughout the service which is approximately 2 hours long. To watch the live stream, visit www.jimdornansjourney.com/remembering-jim this Friday at 11:00 am EST.

For those of you who may have been in a coma the last six months, 2 things…

1.) Welcome back, we missed you!

2.) DRIVE2013 was Network TwentyOne’s Emerald and above leadership event held in Los Angeles, California where over 1,000 leaders from over 27 countries came together to learn from the best and most successful Amway business leaders in the history of the universe.

The event started with a memorial service for Network TwentyOne Founder and Chairman, Jim Dornan who passed away just days before the event. The service was broadcast live from the event and is still viewable here. Those that were there were so thankful to be a part of honoring Jim together as a global family and it was such a tribute to all that Jim worked for over these many years.

Moving into the event, leaders were fed a steady diet of humor, business insight and skills to balance their life by leaders such as Bob Andrews, David and Jules Dornan, Hans and Eva Nusshold and Mitch and Deidre Sala. Additionally, there were several panel style interview sessions ranging from some of Network TwentyOne’s pioneer leadership to second generation leaders sharing their unique perspective having grown up immersed in this business.

Special guests included Amway President Doug DeVos as well as Amway’s Executive Vice President Jim Payne and last but certainly not least, Dr John C Maxwell.

Needless to say, it was a righteous event and you should have been there. The good news is you have until August 2015 to qualify as an Emerald or above for Network TwentyOne’s next big event called …. you guessed it, DRIVE2015!

Ok, So it has been awhile sine we have heard from our friends down in Southern Africa. Of course they have been busy building amazing businesses… shocking huh? Certainly one of the most focused, motivated and professional group of Amway leaders anywhere in the world supported and inspired by upline leadership from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand.

“The Network TwentyOne Southern Africa National WES is always a high point in the year on our Calendar, and the October 2013 event surpassed all expectations. With record attendance from all 12 regions, the WES was made even more memorable by the appearance of speakers Peter Cox, Founders Crown Ambassador from Australia, and David and Jules Dornan, Founders Diamonds from the USA. ABO’s anticipation of the event was not in vain – the invaluable teachings of the Dornans, and Peter Cox’s dynamic delivery of his “The Dream is Everything” ethos, inspired even the most flagging of spirits, and the energy was a tangible essence.The recognition of two new Emeralds was yet another highlight to the weekend.

An exciting addition to the Friday evening was the official launch of the Amway XS energy drink, with a launch party par excellence. With dancing to the sounds of the region’s best DJ’s, and of course boundless energy courtesy of XS, guests celebrated and danced the night away. By all indications, XS will prove to be a leader in the energy drink market in the Southern African region.

All too soon the three-day event was over, but was definitely a memorable and valuable experience, and one which we intend to repeat and build on in the time to come.”

OK, so what do you get when you bring together Hungarians, Romanians, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenians and Croatians with a sprinkle of staging, a slice of audio/visual, a dab of international speakers and a whole lot of Network TwentyOne??? CERC of course!

“What an outstanding event we had in Debrecen, Hungary with thousands of attendees people from 6 countries of Europe! ABOS from Hungary, Romania, Czech, Slovak, Slovenia and Croatia waited with enthusiasm for the highlight of the business year – The Central European Regional Conference, and it didn’t disappoint them.

31 Diamonds, 13 Executive Diamonds and above, 67 Emeralds and 48 Founders Emeralds and over 600 Platinum+ in the front rows showed the power of Network TwentyOne leadership and support coupled with the world class business opportunity which is Amway.

One of the main highlights of this function was certainly the main guest speaker, representing not only the energy and knowledge he is having but also the second generation of Network 21 – Founder Diamond from the USA, David Dornan. His speeches gave such a momentum and spirit to the audience…… hard to describe in words.

On Saturday morning there was “Blue Jeans” meeting with over 500 young people under the age of 25 listening to David Dornan. What a powerful speaker on stage during just one event Crown Ambassador, Hans Nusshold. His speeches showed the balance of huge experience and an unbelievable vision.

Real Achievers, as our motto for the event was, came together not only to learn from the best but also to celebrate those who already “climbed the hills of challenges and hard work” celebrating new Emeralds and new Diamonds!

We had the first sparkling moment Saturday evening with the celebration of the first Founder Emerald from Slovakia; Andrea and Ivan Kartac. They have reached the Emerald and Founder Emerald level in the same business year. The highlight of the Saturday evening was the New Diamond recognition. Ibolya and Imre Leviczki came into the venue with a spectacular celebration. These were real memorable, actually unforgettable moments that showed to all what can be reached in the Amway business with the support of Network TwentyOne.”

If for nothing else I wish I were at the event because it was held at the “WOW” connection center … ahhhh, wow!

“Autumn WES of Turkey was conducted on November 09 – 10 in Istanbul. The ABOs and their guests filled WOW Convention Center to listen a world class mentors, Bob & Terry Andrews. Bob made great teaching on the topic of “how to change” on Sunday, and it completed all presentations in parallel of the theme of this event “Achieve”.

The audiences celebrated all successful ABOs throughout Saturday, and the recognition was at peak when they applauded new Founder Emeralds on the stage Saturday evening.

Michelle D’Alliard added color to the event with her presentation on YouthExtend.

All participants agreed on that this event is one of the outstanding one, and a signal of great success in next coming 2014.”

Is it just me or do Peter and Debbie look like they are singing a duo in the photo to the right? I can hear it now as I type… “Islands in the stream, that is who we are…” Channeling their inner Kenny Rogers and Dolly Pardon no doubt. 

Nice to hear from the amazing Network TwentyOne team in Thailand. What a testament to an amazing business opportunity and world class business training and support!

“Our Weekend Seminar was conducted in Pattaya, Thailand at the famous Royal Cliff Hotel & Resort. All participants came from all over parts of Thailand and traveled to a get away resort (100 miles) to join the seminar. Crown Ambassador Peter and Debbie Cox were the featured guest speakers and they both were outstanding, their talks were so strong & genuine, motivational and very well complimented by the Thai crowds.

Along with Peter and Debbie, came a group of his international IBOs from India, Philippines & Malaysia to support them. On Sat. night, we had recognized 3 new Emerald couples followed by spectacular entertainment and we recognized a new Diamond couple from the South of Thailand in Had Yai, Mr. Udomsak & Umaporn. They both are truly a product of hard work, upline support, a proven Amway business opportunity and had proven that even though they lived far in the South of the country, they both achieved with the help of  Network TwentyOne’s Business Support Materials, Ongoing Education Programs and world class functions and seminars.

They gave a heartfelt speech that was very inspiring. It’s a wonderful night to remember.”

Great events in the USA. I got to catch a few of the talks from both of the events and I’m proud to report that my comprehension of South African English has improved greatly.     Amazing teaching and a rich atmosphere of success and belief was on tap for both of these exciting seminars.

“One Winter Conference, two Incredible Weekends!

We kicked off our Winter Conference on the West Coast in sunny Southern California. Special guest, Founders Executive Diamond Kevin Harris joined us all the way from South Africa to be our guest speaker. He shared some insightful teaching, honest experience, and glimpses of his sweet life back home! We also heard from other talented speakers throughout the weekend- Dave Dornan, Jim Janz, Mike Wilson, and more. Celebrating recognition, as always, was a blast and encouragement.

The next weekend we headed to Atlanta, GA for our East Coast Winter Conference. This weekend we had the pleasure of hearing from not only Kevin but his wife Tamsine as well. What an awesome couple! We learned so many practical, yet challenging, steps to grow our businesses. The weekend ended with a bang with Nancy Dornan speaking and Kevin and Tamsine sending us out with new goals and tools to use.

Can’t wait for Summer Conference!”

2 unprecedented weekends in Ukraine. Network TwentyOne ABOs and leaders are courageous- fear does not stop them in their business or from attending WES’s! I am so proud of and inspired by these guys…I’m getting emotional…don’t cry N21guy, keep it together!  

“We are happy to say we had truly amazing WES’s few days ago in Kiev! For a number of reasons these were outstanding events in the history of such seminars in Ukraine. First of all, we are all tremendously grateful to everyone who had the courage to participate in these WES’s. In particular, to our guest speakers Amgad Ghabriel (Australia) and David Vanderveen (California, USA). Not only their speeches were powerful, inspiring, motivating and teaching, but also their coming to Ukraine was great support to all Leaders & ABOs in Ukraine! For which everyone in N21 Ukraine expresses their deepest appreciation. It is hard to overrate this.
In this time N21 seminars are incredibly important – the fact that became obvious when the seminars were held. We were overwhelmed by general uplift of the participants, their will to invest even more in the business and thus help and serve their country to their best. Participants of both WES’s were delighted to see and listen to the speeches from the stage of Alexey Mautanov & Vera Archipova, Igor & Valeriya Kharatin, Taras & Irina Demkura – these certainly were some of the most powerful messages throughout the event. Made one feel that both Amway business and N21 team will come through any challenges…

To crown it all, these WES’s left one with the understanding that some really important transformations happened and great faith in the bright future of Amway business in Ukraine.”

Remind me next May to check out the WES in the US- I can learn from all my favorite speakers in one place!

“The East Coast of the US had an awesome WES in Atlanta, Georgia, May 16-18. The guest speaker was Diamond Staffan Ohlson. He is an excellent communicator and shared much wisdom and insight, in addition to his interesting story. We were lucky also to hear from David and Jules Dornan, Marg Hays, János Demeter, Andrew Mackay, Mike Wilson, Pete Matz, Jackie Lowe, Nancy Dornan, and a panel. Whew! Each leader teaches and inspires in unique ways, I know we gained considerable knowledge  from all of them and are very grateful for their willingness to share with us.

These are just two of the nuggets of wisdom shared that weekend!

Pete Matz:” Winners never quit. They adjust.”

Jules Dornan:” You can learn the hard way, or trust the leaders.”

On the West Coast, we had a conference in California May 30-June 1. Guest speaker Ali Ghannadan shared immeasurable vision, teaching, and experience. Mike Wilson kicked off the seminar Friday as only Mike can do! The weekend was full of inspiring, smart speakers who developed the theme for the weekend- MOVE. We thought about what moves us and where we need to move next in our business. A great motivation is what Jerry Webb said Friday night: ” We’re not saying it’s easy, we’re saying it’s worth it.”

In addition to our guest speaker Ali, we learned from Dave Dornan, Jerry and Sharyn Webb, Jim Elliott, and Jim Janz.  At both seminars we had the delight of celebrating new platinums! We had excellent Summer Conferences and are looking forward to our National Convention in September!”
