Rapport Reunion and Recharge
“What are you waiting for!!”
Join us July 2010 near Calgary Alberta for the Rapport Reunion and Recharge.
What is the Rapport R&R you ask?
As an Ambassador of Rapport Leadership my vision is to organize a long weekend camping trip July 30th to August 1st that is open to all Rapport Graduates, friends and families. This event is intended to provide a social environment to allow sharing of stories, successes and recharge our Rapport skills and tools.
Bring your RV’s, tents, trailers and assemble in a field located near Calgary complete with an airstrip so we can go Skydiving and facilitate many other recharge process’s throughout the weekend.
I have been working with “Team Consistency” to start the brainstorming with all of you, my Rapport Family.
The cost without sponsorship is estimated $50CDN per person. We will also have a Skydiving team there if you would like to get out on the skinny branches and participate. The fee for skydiving which is optional is $250CDN for a solo jump or $295CDN for a tandem jump.
Any excess funds raised will go toward sending deserving teens to Rapport!
Here is how you can support this event:
-Indicate your desire to attend with me on the Rapport Connection
-Locate a field with or near an airstrip in the Calgary area
-Get the word out to all grads to come join us
-We will need sponsorship to reduce costs
-Help with fundraising opportunities to raise money for Teen Leadership
-Medical first aid attendants and security
-Stage, sound and lighting
-Event tents to have recharge process’s in all kinds of weather
-Memorabilia such as Rapport Dew rags or buffs personalized with classes attended
-Shuttle services to/from the airport
-Do you have extra beds or tents available for travelers from away?
-Port potties , Showers, Fire pits, fire wood etc.
-Do you have a recharge process you want to facilitate?
-Do you have any leadership books or a business that you want to share with your Rapport Family?

Scott: I am sorry to hear about your work troubles. Please remember, the world is not conspiring against you! I am glad you enjoyed the video. I found it amazing that so many brilliant people had been told that they were set to fail. I will send my positive energies out to you. Please keep me posted. Jeni
Mr. Waller:
Thank you reaching out. I am sorry to hear about your work. I feel that the economy is about to change and with this, you will soar. Keep JFDI'ing and I will be sending you all the positive energy I can muster......take care
Always...Deno Paolini
Thank you for touching base with me and the kind words of caring. Yes, the stress of being unemloyed at times can be quite testing. One must draw on much positive thinking and prayer. I do feel deeply about the many other Americans out of work and their families.
I am so glad you have been untouched by the downturn in the economy. I ike your term," luck is labor ". So true.
Scott- Good luck with the job search. Remember luck stands for Laboring, Under, Correct, Knowledge. Glad to read that you touched based with Julie Worley. I think she would be a great resource. I can only imagine the stress being unemployed right now must bring.
At the time I was in LB1, my company's name was A. G. Edwards. We merged with Wachovia Securities in 10/07 and when Wachovia went under last September, we were bought by Wells Fargo. We will now operate under the Wells Fargo Advisors name. Being a financial advisor, my job is secure and even more so during difficult times in the economy. I am grateful for a good client base and strong relationships that make a hard job more pleasant.
I completed LB2 in April of 2008 and took PC in August of 2008. I have not commited to attending the "Stop Surviving, Start Thriving" class on June 30th but I am considering going. I think this would be a good time for some Rapport refresher. The bonus is Mr. Paolini is one of the instructors for that program and I would love to see him again.
Good to hear from you! I was in Mr. Paolini's group. I learned a great deal from that class and can not wait to get back on my feet financially so I can continue taking more classes with Rapport. I would be most interested in hearing about any jobs in the area. I am familiar with El Dorado Hills area. My wife and I had some acreage in Pollock Pines a number of years ago with the intent of building a log cabin. We had put those plans on hold and sold the land.
My background is related to the construction building trades that took a career path change . From a plumbing background I began teaching an apprentice program in the Southern Califorinia and began to work for one of the largest plumbing manufactures in America, "American Standard". As a Territory Sales Manager I helped write a training program for teaching retail associates, rep groups and team members selling our products. I managed rep groups servicing large chain stores and was a lead trainer. I also have worked as a manager at a large plumbing service shop managing up to 50 techs. My lead role was to train, coach, purchasing, provide estimates and make large sales. I wrote a in-house training program to include a hands-on buildinding with learning modules.
Along came Heating and Air Conditioning sales also as a Territory Sales Manager for a very large manufacure called Lennox. That was the company I worked for when I took the Leadership 1 class.
The job I am looking for is in Sales, management and training. Yet I am open to anything that can utilize my skills in business building, building business partnerships and selling quality recognized products with a demand for a useful product or service. Should you see anything out there that maybe of interest, please do not hesitate forwarding me information. My email address is: swaller2@yahoo.com or my cell (951) 775-5776.
Thank you Julie so much for having an interest for a former classmate.
I truly believe in what Rapport does for people. I will never forget the positive life changing events in my life that occurred after taking class 1818. I am so glad you were able to continue to take their excellent classes. Something I shall do once I get grounded with a stable job.
Thank you for being so caring...Awesome you are...Scott Waller
Hi Scott - I was in Mr. Paolini's group. Were you in Mr. Wong's group? It was such a large team of us back then. I've completed all of the classes last year and attended Eagle Quest. AWESOME!! You'll enjoy LB2! DST Output produces customer communications for the cable, telephony, mutual funds markets. So if you get a cell phone bill odds are we sent it to you. The website is www.dstoutput.com. Are you looking for a sales type position? I'm the HR Manager here in El Dorado Hills so I have some contacts within the area so let me know what you're interested in and I'll put the word out and see what is available.
Yes, it's been a long time since we attended LB1. I was (and still continue) to work for an insurance broker out of Concord, CA. Been here just outside of 11-years now. We too have been impacted by the economy, thus I'm very fortunate to still be employed. Hope things turn around for you soon.
Remember the two ladies who came back from lunch late on the second day & had to stand there while the instructors chastized us for not being considerate of everybody else? I was the blonde (the other was my roommate). Don't know if that helps.
Anyway, just completed LB2 two weeks ago and it was FANTASTIC! I would highly recommend it if the opportuity arises with your next employer. It was a truly amazing and moving experience.
Nice to hear from one of my old LB1 friends again. My best to you--
