Congrats and Thanks Blackbelts!
First and foremost, I want to thank all the great Masters, Sensei and other great Blackbelt Leaders that came out to help!
We tested and promoted 29 to various levels of Blackbelt, but there were 44 out there and the rest were there to support!
I’ll be thanking them individually too of course, but i just want to do so here first as well. I believe this level of camaraderie is a big part of what makes our tribe and Blackbelt Leadership experience so special.
And Congratulations to all the Blackbelts that leveled up as well!
They all had fun, bonded and set new higher Vision for themselves this weekend, in addition to training and testing really hard.
I am super proud of them!
And, if you weren’t one of them, I want to challenge you to see yourself on that stage.
Your Retreat is coming if you’re training towards it.
If you are, congratulations and don’t quit! It will be so worth it to become a Confident and competent Blackbelt Leader! And you will be on the stage one day!
It’s especially cool to do as a family by the way…
And, if you aren’t on the quest with us yet, the journey begins with a single step:
register for your 2 week trial and orientation here.
Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
