National Conferences 2008
"While this was our third year at the National Conference - I took 32 pages of notes just at the Leadership Training! I learned lots of new strategies for my business. This was by far the best conference we have been to. I feel like I just enrolled and we are excited!"
- Dave & Joyce Jordan, Triple Diamond
For the nearly 1,000 people that crowded the hallways and crammed into the conference hall of the renowned Rosen Centre in Orlando, the rewards of attending the National Conference were countless. Excitement and anticipation filled the air as everyone lined up to get the best seats in the first session (next to the Emerald and Diamond Club members of course). There were reunions left and right as old friends met up and people who'd only spoken on the phone finally got to meet face-to-face with smiles and hugs all around.
Once inside, the rewards continued as revolutionary new products were unveiled, cutting-edge science was revealed by leading experts, and intense training on products and business flowed from the most successful Distributors in the field. Sure, Conference is exhilarating and exciting, but it’s the substance that really makes being there worthwhile. Between getting the jump on new products, experiencing them firsthand and learning valuable industry advice from experts and top Distributors, this Conference has so much to offer. Of course, after a day of jam-packed information, it’s always great to unwind. Once the sun went down, Conference nightlife began with an extravagant Escapade for top leaders and a Friday Night Fever party that got everyone groovin’ to the 70s!
Read on to rediscover the wondrous experiences of Waiora’s National Conference, and if you happened to miss it, you’ll get the inside scoop on how you can catch up!
It All Started with Waiora's Leaders Offering Top-Notch Training!
Emerald leader Lesley Anne Vincent said it best: "In my thirty years in business, this was one of the best presentations on Leadership. Jim Rohn...watch out!”
With pens and notepads at the ready, everyone who attended the Leadership Training day listened attentively as the entire morning session was dedicated to personal development and growth as a leader. Drawing on a combination of his life experiences and success in the industry, Single Diamond Mickey Dillon delivered with a humble and commanding presentation on the nine elements of leadership. From there, the afternoon was filled with leaders offering insight and practical advice on the core subjects of prospecting (including a panel session filled with tips), successful follow up techniques and tools (and a fun interactive session on three-way calls) along with how to get new distributor started right. Then, the day was topped off with Blue Diamond leader John Haremza on how to take everything that was shared and make it work!
"The Leadership Training was absolutely phenomenal. The conviction and passion of the speakers was contagious. The best training I have ever been to!"
- Dennis Scheller, Emerald
"In 18 years in this industry, I have never seen a training day so content rich! All of the speakers did a wonderful job preparing and imparting to each attendee, what it takes to be a success at every level from getting started to leading a large Diamond organization - excellent!"
- Jeff Mack, Double Diamond
From there, it was on to the Emerald Escapade...
Lights, camera and non-stop action!
The first exciting getaway was the Emerald Escapade, a special night dedicated to just Emeralds and Diamonds, and boy was it amazing! These top performers were whisked away in stretch Hummer limousines and greeted at a world renowned theme park by a trumpeting brass band! While the park was closed to everyone else, Emeralds and Diamonds were escorted down a red carpet entry and welcomed with special VIP backstage passes! The glittering gems dined on sumptuous cuisine under the stars and kicked up their heels on the dance floor! This night was a truly unforgettable experience for all!
"The Emerald Escapade was a blast! I had been envious of events like that over the years and now that I'm fortunate enough to go...I can't imagine missing any more."
- Jeff Seely RN, Emerald
"The Emerald Escapade was awesome! The entertainment was super but the best part is getting to personally know all the other Emeralds in the company."
- Dr. Ann Hood, 90K Emerald
But the real show-stopper was New Products! The Treasure of the Rainforest Revealed - AgariGold with H1X1!
Opening general session was an edge-of-your-seat experience to say the least. There had been so much buzz about this new Treasure of the Rainforest. After some relentless teasing and tempting from CEO and President, Stan Cherelstein, everyone was in for a major treat! The Treasure of the Rainforest was FINALLY revealed!
The new product is called AgariGold with H1X1. It began with the discovery of a mysterious mushroom that was discovered deep in a misty mountain region of Brazil called Piedade. In the mid-twentieth century a Japanese researcher, while observing an obscure tribe, was amazed when he found that an unusually large number of the tribe members lived to be well over 100 years old without suffering from the usual age-related afflictions. He discovered their miraculous health and longevity was attributed to a special mushroom the tribe called "Cogumelo de Vida" or the "mushroom of life."
Further research revealed that the reason this mushroom, named Agaricus Blazei by scientists, has been used medicinally for thousands of years to preserve vitality, longevity and overall health. Scientists studying this mushroom sought to develop an even more potent strain. After hundreds of attempts they finally found an Agaricus strain that when combined with the original Piedade strain formed a super-potent immunological mushroom! This unique and highly powerful hybrid has been combined with Sasa Bamboo, possibly the world's most efficacious antioxidant, to create Waiora's groundbreaking AgariGold with H1X1. The result is a revolutionary life-enhancing superfood that provides a powerhouse of nutrients setting the gold standard for immune defense – and only Waiora’s Distributors have exclusive rights to it!
But that's not the only new Product - Distributors were on Cloud Nine with this one!
The second new product launched was Fast2Sleep! Naturally blended with melatonin, the unique benefit that really sets this sleep aid apart is its strip delivery mechanism. The reason so many other prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids fail is that they neither dissolve fast enough, nor absorb fully enough to be effective. Waiora’s new Fast2Sleep strips are more bioavailable because they dissolve instantly, helping to support a more restful, deeper sleep while promoting your body’s natural restoration processes. This non habit-forming, fast-acting and time released product, Fast2Sleep, is truly a breakthrough for the sleep-deprived.
And then there was the Expo Wonderland...
Distributors couldn’t wait to get to the expo where they could purchase these products first. The line was all the way out the door! They wandered in amazement through the dazzling expo area, complete with a tropical rainforest, a ten-foot cave and a smoking volcano! In the Skincents area, people were lining up for free skinscans, facials and massages.
On Friday night it was a 70s Flashback – You Won’t Believe What They Wore!
The stage sparkled on Friday night as the Rubies, Emeralds and Diamonds were welcomed up in recognition! And they didn't just walk across the stage – they danced to the sounds of applause and appreciation! The highlight of the night was the Diamonds coming to stage in full costume (leaders in every way). There, CEO and President Stan Cherelstein recognized advancements within the Diamond Club. After the accolades, a gourmet feast was then served followed by a groovy 70s costume party! There were shadow dancers, an excellent DJ and tons of tackily-clad Distributors kicking up their heels and boogying down!
"Friday Night Fever was a blast. Everyone was having lots of fun and the costumes were far-out. This really shows while everyone within the Waiora family knows how to treat the business seriously, when it's time to have fun - they could seriously have FUN!"
- Roberto & June Benedicto, Emerald
Of course, it wasn't all retro recognition – there were special awards reserved for those setting the pace. Those achieving PaceSetter six, nine or 12 times were celebrated with a parade across the stage where a crystal award awaited those who did it every month in 2007. Plus, the Top 10 enrollers were congratulated for their efforts, and they shared the secrets of their success! Then, the top travel leaders were presented with luggage from the luxury TUMI brand, so that when they speak at a city meeting near you, they'll travel in style. Congratulations to all!
On Saturday it was time for Workshops that were anything but work!
On Saturday morning, it was out of the general session room and into classroom-sized workshop sessions that were anything but work! Everyone had an array of product and business-focused sessions to choose from, led by experts and industry leaders.
Product researchers, scientists and experts were available to answer everything you ever wanted to know from A to Z (AgariGold to Zeolites, of course), while top Diamond and Emerald Club leaders gave advice and proven techniques to use in building a successful business.
The hardest thing about this day was deciding which place to go!
"In the workshops the amount of information, techniques and ideas shared by the top leaders on how to build your business was priceless. That and the product knowledge learned were worth the cost of the trip alone."
- Dale Hammerschmidt, 60K Emerald
