From Amber Thill
University of Northern Iowa
Family Services Major

Klemmer has changed my life in many areas such as health, relationships, and helped to improve my self-esteem and self-worth. Some of the results I received after doing the Klemmer work were: getting a raise from work, improving my relationship with my Dad-we didn’t used to talk at all and now we talk daily. I set my intention to get to California and Arizona without knowing how, and was able to get to California for free. Intention+mechanism=results, and I’ve practiced it many times and know that whatever dreams are out there are possible!

These classes are priceless and have helped me to understand how to have faith in myself and to move forward in living my life to the fullest! I even sing and dance on the way to work, when I used to moan and complain about traffic. Learning how to love life is the biggest gift that was given to me! Thank you Brian Klemmer for leaving a legacy that lives on!

From Ben Emond
Owner, CPUdude Technology Services,
Manchester, NH

My weekend at Personal Mastery taught me much about what was locked up inside me for the longest time and brought out the can do more than anything.  It brought me closer to a very good friend of mine, and we now work together as accountability partners striving towards success.  My goal has changed much due to events following being at PM, but all for the better.  I’m making better business decisions and the outcome has been nothing short of amazing.  The world has opened up to so many possibilities, I just run with it and let it lead me to where I need to be.

Thank you so much for having me in the program, I will return to help!

From David Vrona (Coach)
I Am Gentle Peaceful Intuitive Man.

From the time my Klemmer Journey began, I have applied every class to my life and my profession.  I became a more effective facilitator at Family Life Skills Learning Center relating to the men I was with.  Facilitation the Learning To Love, Learning to Live class was huge.  Applying the principles from K & A brought out the best in the men.  The marriage that I have with my wife, Kathy, is tremendous.  We have open honest responsible communication and we are open books with each other.  We are both very close with our sons and daughter-in-law.  We have one tremendous family.  Our son, Clint, and his wife, Sarah, have gone through the K & A journey also.  We are one very close family and we are very thankful for that relationship.  Nathan and I are so close that we love being with each other.  I would not trade the relationship that I have with our sons and Sarah for anything.  It is that great.
Applying the same skills to my teaching profession created a space for my students to take ownership of their class.  My PE classes were a combination of ALS and Sam Camp.  My Guys loved being with me because they were safe with me.  The last 7 years of teaching was a ministry for me.  I loved being with the students and bringing out the best in them.  Many of them asked for the True Choice poster that I hung in my locker room office.  My guys lived by it.  I live with True Choice 24*7.  I remember when I was a student in Sam Camp 10 in September of 2006.  I had the time of my life with breakthrough and developing the positive habits that last.  I went into Camp 10 as a student weighing 221 pounds.  I released 38 pounds in Camp 10 and today I am still weighing 183 pounds.  The personal fitness habits that I developed in Camp 10 are running strong in Camp 25.  I am in the best physical, spiritual and emotional shape of my life.  I love life!
I continue to play Sam Camp Full Blast Full Out and More in Total Abundance with Prayer, Passion, and Faith & Fun in every phase of my life.  The positive habits that I have developed in Camp last a life time.  I continue to give back to Sam Camp.  Staffing Sam Camp is an honor that I hold very high.  Sam Camp has become a ministry for me.  I choose to promote K & A everywhere I am.  This experience is tremendous!

Taking the Fear Out of Change

How do you deal with change? Do you resist it? Do you try to ignore it and hope it goes away? Or do you embrace change?

If there’s one thing that’s true, change is here to stay. Picture yourself in a boat, Read More…

Growth and Decay

Are you trying to get your life to the point where it is stable? If you are, then consider the following story about Socrates and Plato.

Socrates taught Plato that everything fits into one of three stages. Everything begins at a point of energy from which it expands or grows. This is followed by a period where nothing changes, and finally, it shrinks back to the original point of energy where it began. The first stage is growth, the second is stability and the third is decay.

Plato listened politely and then went off by himself to mull over what he had just heard. Walking along the beach, Plato picked up a piece of driftwood to examine it. He concluded that there aren’t three stages in life; there are Read More…

Overcoming Resistance

What is your dream? Do you want to be the best in your field? Do you want to have a number ten relationship or marriage? Do you want to be in top-notch physical condition? Then remember this saying: Nothing great becomes great without overcoming great resistance.

Why remember this saying? Because when you commit to anything that’s significantly bigger than where you’re at, your belief systems kick into gear to defend themselves. Resistance shows up. What do most people do when they encounter resistance? Read More…

The Power of Possibility

Do you want to open up possibilities in your life?  There are crucial differences between living out of possibility versus probability.

Living from probability takes place when you look at what you are capable of and what you have done in the past.  From this perspective, you calculate whether you think you can do something and whether you can get incremental, or minute, increases for your life.

Living from possibility, on the other hand, is the experience of knowing that you can create incredible results or miracles in your life that have no relationship to what you’ve done before.  When you live from possibility Read More…

Not Quitting is Not Good Enough

The saying goes like this: the only way you can fail is to quit. In fact, I heard someone say just last week regarding his business that he was not giving up.  I am now going to challenge this belief from the perspective that there is much more than merely not giving up and not quitting. You can apply this to your business, your health, your finances, your relationships – any and all of the important areas of your life where you have so much to gain by giving it all you’ve got. Where winning – in whatever form that looks like to you – is a big deal. This can be measured by a thriving and profitable business, healthy and meaningful relationships, more than enough money, and radiant health.

My mind goes clunk when I hear Read More…

Turn Compliance Into Commitment: Promise and Follow-up

Previously we discussed the first two steps required to change a compliance situation at work into one of commitment: conversation for agreement and request. During a conversation for agreement, my task is to discover what motivates the person I’m speaking with. Once I understand this, I propose a specific action that needs to take place within a specific time period in order for the goal to be accomplished. Then I’m ready for the third step: promise.

During this phase I ask my employee if they are willing to carry out this proposal of making two hundred calls in two weeks to reach a 20% increase in sales. At this point I need to hear “Yes, I’ll do it,” or Read More…
