Q: Are spouses permitted to attend the Conversation, or is it recommended that the doctor attend on his/her own?

A: I recommend that the spouse not attend the session. This assumes that it can give the actual participant more freedom for self-realization. My guess is that most spouses have already attempted to effect changes in their chiropractor long before looking at something like The Conversation!

Q: Is The Conversation good for both DC’s and staff?

A: While a chiropractic team member could benefit from participating, I think it would be wise for each team member to attend separate programs.

Q: I am a client of a management company. I have taken several Scientology courses, a limited amount of auditing and I have attended several courses of Insight and Lifestream (similar to the old EST?). Please tell me how or why this weekend in Denver might be different (for me).

A: I've never attended a Scientology course, so I'm not sure what that entails. Naturally, I’m unable to predict the specific results you’ll achieve. Like all healing, this is largely an inside job. However, if you play full out, do the 14 assignments over the four weeks, are rigorous with the self-reflection and journaling and show up at the debrief in Denver prepared to share, grow and be coachable, I guarantee you will get more than your money’s worth.

By participating, you should expect...

• To acquire the new life skill of asking better questions—of others and yourself

• To identify the key lynch pin holding you back and a strategy to move beyond it

• To enjoy a greater sense of ease in your interactions with others

• To show up more attractive and influential with patients and staff

• To exhibit greater certainty, clarity and power with the words you speak

Q: I was involved in a practice-consulting group in the past that relied heavily on much of the Hubbard Technology. Originally, I found it to be interesting, later very troubling. I do not wish to ever revisit his work again. Would that create any conflict with the concepts in your program?

A: No. If you believe in a higher power (I call God), then you’ll be comfortable. This program is based on self-reflection, listening, presence and making distinctions about how you show up in your practice. Past participants have enjoyed a brief demonstration of the effects of intercessory prayer. Other Conversation attendees have learned a working knowledge of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). However, 90% of the “technology” is really old stuff commonly known as the Socratic Method. This is about self-discovery and becoming fully you, not imposing a new belief or procedure.

Q: Can someone do The Conversation without going to Denver?

A: Nope. That would be like reading a mystery novel and choosing not to read the last chapter!

Q: Can I just do the homework questions and benefit from The Conversation?

A: The homework isn’t actually a bunch of questions, but rather a series of assignments designed to disrupt your inner environment and reveal wrongheaded beliefs and self-imposed restrictions.

To do these exercises without the accountability of showing up for the debrief and you'd miss many of the opportunities for the personal breakthroughs others have experienced by going through the process. If the assignments were all it took, every self-help book you've read would have been fully implemented...

Q: I was looking into flights to Denver for the next session and was wandering what time The Conversation ended on Sunday so I can book a return flight.

A: Flights arriving Friday evening and departing after 1:00 PM Sunday should work fine.
