The next step tried by many people is: “well I have a friend or a relative who has weight lying around.” This sounds like a reasonably good idea, but does that friend have a long history with weight training showing reasonable results for their efforts? Do they have a background with Personal Training? Strength training is muscle specific. A knowledge Personal Trainer will identify weak muscle groups needing development while insure opposing muscle balance is developed and maintained.

A personal trainer who specializes in weight training normally has a long history of studying the human body and the effects of strength training. Since dieting is such an integral part of training, we are well versed on a person’s diet and the effect or ill effects of various foods. Proper stretching is also emphasized and passed on to the student.

A good trainer often has a specific method of motivating clients. The reason for a variety of techniques is many people are not aware of how much they can accomplished until pushed. Common techniques for motivation include demeanor (some trainers have an aggressive and commanding demeanor; others are more calm and supportive); incentives for reaching goals; and positive re-framing or visualization.

Just use my I-A-P™ formula.

I = intent…what’s the intent of this event; what is your organization’s goal for the event?
Figure it out and then make sure everyone is on the same page.
Everything you do in planning, delivery, and post-activity should match your Intent.
Keep in mind your organization’s business goals or mission may differ from the goal of this particular event.
Perhaps you want to entertain and celebrate at this event, but you’re part of a cancer research organization.
It’s okay to have fun at the event even when your overall mission is cancer research…not a big party of a topic--but serious work.

A = audience analysis…who will come to this event; who else are you targeting?
Cater elements of the event to these people.
Sometimes this means dreams, hopes, and fetishes of the event planners need to go out the window.
Maybe there are some celebrities in your membership or stories of amazing courage; is there something you can showcase around that?

P = powerful presentation…make sure the look of the event and the people who will speak to your crowd are top-notch, easy to listen to, entertaining; keep the visual and musical aspects of your venue strong and consistent with I and A.

This could require tough decisions by event planners: perhaps you need to “Just Say No” to that opening speech from the chairperson; maybe a silent auction won’t work in this venue.
Maybe you need an event host who’s a professional emcee or neutral third-party instead of relying on the event chairperson, who might not be the most effective public speaker.

Once you apply I-A-P™ honestly and thoroughly, you are on track to have a great event. So good luck and great partying! Please feel free to write me with any questions.
