Mary once conducted a seminar where a Vice President and National Dental Director at Mutual of Omaha shared with his team that he had been told by one of his high school teachers that he was Jack of All Trades and Master of None. Upon further inquiry, Mary found out that he had been given this label by his music teacher, because he wasn't really interested in playing the trombone, but was really wanting to go full out in sports.
Up until the day of the seminar, he had not felt that anything he has accomplished in his adult life was ever enough. Here are some of his accomplishments. Dr. David E. Wesley:
- Bachelor of Arts Degree
- Bachelor of Science Degree
- Doctor of Dental Surgery
- Past President of the American Association of Dental Anesthesiology (Minnesota component)
- Past Chairman of the Health Insurance Association of America's Dental Relations Committee
- Current Chairman of the Health Insurance Association of America's Subcommittee on the ADA Code
- President-Elect of the American Association of Dental Consultants
- "Rochester, City and Countryside" Award winning photography book on
- Rochester Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic. Dave Wesley, photographer.
He is the author of an award winning book, and has never even enjoyed this or any of his most incredible accomplishments. This is the tragedy of the label and of the untold healing that will take place because of the resolve Mary teaches the reader to use in relabeling themselves. Through Mary's powerful message, David has now decided that he is a Master of whatever he elects for himself.
A year after this life changing training with Mary, David resigned from his position to pursue his life-long dreams. On last report, he is loving his new found life!
In another seminar Mary conducted, a woman shared that she was told her senior year by her high school counselor, You're just not very smart! This woman stresses at work each and every time she is asked to do something that requires a level of intelligence that she, to this day, is not certain that she possesses. It was all a mistake. This woman is not only intelligent, but capable. Why? Because she's worked doubly hard, stressed to the max, so that she would be able to cover up this horrific, terrifying aspect that she now believes is the only truth about her.
And here's the bad news. Even with as much as she tries to cover this up, she has an attitude about herself, and so she sends out this I AM JUST NOT VERY SMART vibe, and what does she get back in her interactions? People pick up on this vibe, and many will treat her like she's less than, without really meaning to. It's just there. Nobody means for this to happen, but it's in every interaction we are having to some degree.
What we have been told about ourselves sticks deep within in us, and then we spend the rest of our lives trying to either 1) prove it wrong or 2) try to cover it up so we won't be found out. This adds tremendous stress that churns in us mentally and emotionally a bazillion times over.
Mary has experienced, through her connections with her audience, that people in our society have very little, if any, idea how impactful their words, messages and interpretations are on each other.
No one ever told us that we could simply examine whatever truth there was about what was said, and as adults, decide not only "our" personal truth, but decide upon that which we can establish 100% RESOLVE.
This program goes to levels beyond a "Sensitivity Training" course! It is a training about self empowerment and the truly profound effects it will have on altering your world and the lives of those you touch.
