| TESTIMONIALS |
| Before becoming a CRG Licensed Associate and attending the CRG training, I wasted a lot of time trying to communicate effectively with clients and my team. Since the training, our team has gone global, projects are finished on time, and profits have soared! Thank you, Ken, and the CRG staff for helping us to run our business so effectively using the CRG tools and systems.

Are You Blindly Following the Misguided “Popular” Herd or Are You Really Making a Difference?
Misguided: led or prompted by wrong or inappropriate motives or ideas
Popular: suited to the tastes of the general public; frequently encountered or widely accepted
Do you know . . .
- The world is flat?
- The earth is the center of our galaxy?
- Slavery is acceptable?
Those misguided opinions were once widely believed by the general public. Heaven forbid if you were a dissenter to those ideas!
| I'm not sure I want popular opinion on my side—I've noticed those with the most opinions often have the fewest facts. |

Do you get the feeling that many professional developers today are voicing “popular” opinion just to keep decision-makers happy? Is that more important than making a real difference?
How would other people characterize you? Do you follow the crowd or do you think for yourself?
The highest paid and most successful professional developers—internally and externally—are outspoken mavericks. They stand out in the corporate crowd and cause tidal waves. These rare, sharp, courageous people really don’t care what others think and they certainly don’t follow misguided “popular” opinions.
| It is not worth an intelligent person's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. |
G. H. Hardy
English Mathematician
1877 – 1947 |
Even 25 years ago, CRG was thinking “outside the box.” CRG’s founder Terry Anderson, PhD, refused to buy into the notion that the discipline of psychology was the sole domain of highly educated professionals.
At that time, the industry believed that only a trained professional could lead a person to self-discovery. CRG did not conform to the rigid standards of the industry—which included psychometric tests designed with Norms and Predictive Validity. CRG broke away from the popular “test” model to create communications tools for the benefit of the learner and the participant.
Our experience with over 1 million participants and 1 million deployed assessments proved that people don’t want to take a test; they prefer a process they can implement immediately, without hours of debriefing.
CRG coined the saying: We give psychology away for the benefit of the learner. Old-school professionals are still not comfortable with that attitude. Why? They want to retain absolute control.
Only now is the industry willing to acknowledge CRG’s early opinions. An article in the Summer 2005 issue of the Consulting Psychology Journal strongly questions the validity and use of MBTI. We stated that premise 25 years ago.
When CRG recently replaced DISC with the Personal Style Indicator in a national training program, the response was profound. The decision-makers were overwhelmed by the participants’ comments. Attendees’ experiences with the PSI finally explained away all the frustrations and concerns the decision-makers had had with DISC. CRG had identified those problems in 1982.
Recently CRG had an intense debate with a consultant on the use of the MBTI and DISC in her practice. She suggested that under the right facilitation, she could overcome the problems that both those assessments have. She was mistaken in her belief that keen facilitation skills are an effective remedy.
Our goal is to deliver results while maintaining our professional integrity. CRG feels so strongly about providing our clients with the best that we refuse to conduct programs or interventions using inferior tools. We know that “popular” does not promise value. CRG declined to conduct a program—a six-figure contract—until the client agreed to switch to quality assessments (from "popular' assessments).
The question is this: Are you following the popular route or do you really want to make a difference . . . to blaze new trails and get results now?!
Can you resist the status quo and challenge misguided intentions or do you play the popularity game? |

Do you have a “world is flat” approach in your professional development field?
If you wish to step into the 21st Century, start Leading The Way! Consider becoming a CRG Licensed Associate!.
In recent weeks, CRG has traveled to several trade shows and conferences. Compared to the offerings of other organizations, it is apparent that CRG’s value proposition is much stronger.
Here’s why.
-
With over 2 million words of content and intellectual property, you can immediately leverage your time because you don’t have to invest in program development.
-
You can reference our client list and credibility. We have over 1 million users and thousands of clients around the globe.
-
You can create a new revenue stream using CRG’s proprietary leverage business model that equally rewards professionals who refer and individuals who consume.
-
You can create a CRG global/international business right from your location, in 8 languages.
-
You need make very little investment. Recently we investigated companies with licensed distributor accreditation in the areas of coaching, training, and marketing. Their programs range from $25,000 to $50,000—plus monthly royalty fees—and those organizations provide just half the content and opportunities that CRG currently offers.
We have recently outlined the CRG Licensed Associate Advantage in a PDF file. Download it now to find out more.
Remember: We reward you for your referrals, so pass this link and file along to your peers for review. |

Plan to attend CRG’s 3-Day Train-The-Trainer Intensive, designed for all professionals who want to make a difference in other people’s lives. Register now for our February 23, 24, 25, 2006, event in Vancouver, BC.
Over the past three years, we have re-tooled and re-branded the CRG organization and revisited the entire Train-The-Trainer program. This TTT session is designed for all professionals—whether you are new to CRG or you have been using our resources for several years.
Our goal is to ground you . . . and the clients you serve . . . in the reasons that CRG resources are chosen—4 times out of 5—over options such as MBTI and DISC. In our program, we go far beyond the assessments to discuss the CRG models and philosophies that the professionals and learners prefer.
In fact, the more experience you have in this field, the more important it is for you to attend a CRG session—to understand the uniqueness of CRG’s resources and unlearn some of the popular false assumptions in the marketplace.
That’s why CRG introduced the TTT Alumni program. Those who have already attended the CRG Train-The-Trainer program can re-attend—at a significantly reduced fee—to stay current, learn what’s new, and network with Associates from around the globe.
Many of our Associates attend TTT on an annual basis, to keep up with the progress and exciting developments at CRG.
