2. Gold Plan – Monthly Schedule
The Wellness Trak Monthly Rhythm
The MONTHLY Events are designed to activate new Consultants from ‘Partner’ to ‘Core Partner’ who then commit to a 90 Day Launch. Although the Mid-Month Event can have guests at any stage attend, the main purpose within the agenda is targeted to help ‘LOCK IN’ the new Consultant’s desire and commitment to go Silver and beyond through the Wellness Trak Launch Strategy. It is also a great opportunity to network, share experiences, build and strengthen relationships.
Monthly events are PUBLIC events and are organized and hosted by the Gold Consultants in the area working together. Platinums and above act as an ‘A+’ for the event. The Monthly Event is a MUNICIPAL event and is open to everyone.

4. DISCOVER IT. LIVE IT. Mid-Month Event (3rd Friday Evening)
What is the purpose of the DISCOVER IT. LIVE IT. Mid-Month Event?
In short, BIG PICTURE. The Monthly Event is designed to mentally and emotionally ‘LOCK IN’ New Partners (C) who have already completed the Partnering Process. It is targeted at inspiring New Partners to choose to be ‘CORE Partners’, those who step up and commit to Launching their business. Along the path of developing a Royal Diamond Business, there will be numerous events that will ‘lock in’ your Partner’s belief, desire and inspire them to take their business to the next level.
The Mid-Month Event is likely to be the first key Municpal event where they meet the larger Community of Nikken Consultants who are very excited about the future and share their excitement publically.
Why have the Event at Mid-Month?
Although the Event operates monthly, it is also timed and linked to the full annual schedule and to the 90 Day Launch Plans of others. The timing of the event helps Uplines build for a strong close to the Nikken month end and creates the impetus to identify their next month’s Launch Partner(s), likely to launch within 2 weeks following the Event.
Why have the Event on a Friday Evening?
Friday night is typically a social night. Building a Wellness Business is also about enjoying yourself, having fun and working with people with whom you enjoy spending time. Creating a Friday evening Event establishes a fun, semi-formal, social atsmopshere and is likely to include both spouses in the gala.
Who attends the Monthly Event?
Anyone and Everyone. Althought the event is really designed to ignite/lock-in those who have completed the Partnering Process, the agenda is also suitable for everyone. The evening features recognition and testimonies. As for a first time guest, they should be more than inspired to want to engage, or complete the Partnering Process after attending. Use the Promotional Flyer and Tickets found in the Gold Tool Box -Business Forms Folder to promote attendance at the event. These Word Documents can be edited.
Who are the Presenters / Hosts for the Event?
It is the local Gold Consultants (A) who coordinate and host the Monthly Discover It, Live It Events. The Silvers (B) will be given the opportunity to be celebrated as they share their Personal Success Stories. The Silvers are also playing the role of Apprentice to the Golds, learning how the Monthly Event operates. Platinums (and above) and the Wellness Network Web Cast are the ‘A+s’ in the event, adding validation and credibilty with their Personal Success Story and Vision, when possible.
Where should you hold the Event?
It depends on the size and activity in your local municplaity. If you are in a large active Nikken community choose host the event in a nice public setting. Ideally, look for something new and exciting. Golf clubs, restaurants, private meeting halls and banquet centres are inviting atmospheres. If you are in a area that has little or no Nikken activity and it is just you and a few others launching Nikken into the area, you can have the Monthly Preview in a larger Wellness Home. Make it a fun Pot Luck evening. Most likely you will grow out of this format relaitively quickly and will have to move into a larger public venue.
Is there a Wellness Network ABC WebCast/Call for the Monthly Events?
Yes, when and where possible! Do your best to find a venue that has web access or that you can bring in a speaker phone with good speakers. From Corporate leaders to top Diamond’s and Royals, connecting to the Wellness Network Web Cast ensures to create a powerful ‘Lock In’ Event.

7. DISCOVER IT. LIVE IT. Sample Agenda Host Notes Cont’d
Questions from ‘Silvers a Blast’ CD:
(You do not have all panelists answer every question. Keep it flowing naturally to get a feel for the ‘story’.)
Q1. If you think back to something of value you have achieved in your life, it first starts with a DECISION. What circumstances prompted your decision to Launch and break through Silver, and more importantly how did you FEEL once that decision was made?
Q2. Clearly something changed in your work ethic in the month that you made the decision to go for Silver. What exactly was the change, what was different about this month than any other month before hand?
Q3. I am hearing ‘stay focused, all out massive effort’, what does that mean in terms of one's work ethic, how did you align yourself with Nikken, with the rhythm of the business, and how did you leverage the events on the calendar?
Q4. How many people per day need to be contacted to get this done?
Q5. What I'm hearing is ‘information circulation - written, internet presentations, CD's, DVD's, wellness home briefings, not everyone invited shows up, timely follow up is critical’. If you had to give me a rule of thumb work ethic what would you recommend as a minimum standard to get Silver done?
Q6. Couple of things mentioned here – ‘time and targeting key people’. Let’s talk about that. How did you find the time?
Q7. ‘Targeting the people you most want to be with’, how many of you are working with people in your group that you really want to be with?
Q8. Lets look at another aspect of this, a lot of you said that you first made the decision to do it, but when did you really BELIEVE that you could do it?
Q9. Did you ever have any doubts during the month that it wasn't going to get done and how did you overcome the doubts?
Q10. How many of you did it in the first month of joining Nikken? Within first 90 days?
Q11. Momentum – the majority of volume seems to take place in the last 2 weeks of the month, which is why doubt can set in, then volume comes rushing in that last week, how many of you experienced that?
Q12. Closing days/hours of the month can be some what chaotic - share with us what that was like?
Q13. For new people sitting in the audience who are FEELING that they are ready to make this decision to LAUNCH and break through Silver, what one thing would you give them as advice?
Finish with plugging the fact that we now have a clear and easy to follow LAUNCH PLAN that if followed anyone can Break Through Silver by creating their 90 Day Launch Plan…

9. Being a Master of Ceremonies
DISCOVER IT. LIVE IT.
Addendum
Being a Master of Ceremonies
The Master of Ceremonies Role
The Master of Ceremonies is the "conductor" of an event or meeting. The primary responsibility of the Master
of Ceremonies is to serve as a genial host. An ideal MC is a person who has poise, presence and who
can command the attention of an audience.
"It is an honor to be asked to be the master of ceremonies at a function. It means that you have a sense of
humor, know how to project your voice, and can handle audiences. It means that you have the gift of being
able to "think on your feet" so that you can react quickly in an emergency. (An 'emergency' arises when the
main speaker does not show, or when the air-conditioning ceases to function and the microphones don't
work!).“
Before the Event
A successful Master of Ceremonies is thoroughly prepared. Meet with all organizers well in advance of the event to confirm the purpose of the event and the planned agenda in detail.
If possible contact all speakers or others who will have a role in the program and confirm their responsibilities, time allotted to them and anything they might require at the event. In preparation for introducing key speakers contact them to find out the title/topic of their presentation and some background information on them.
Find out if there will be any special guests in attendance who should be acknowledged at the event.
At the Event
"Preside with sincerity, energy and decisiveness. Take your audience on a pleasant journey and make them
feel that all is going well".
Arrive early in order to finish any last minute details. Check with speakers and other meeting
participants to make sure all their requirements are in place (if not take steps to address any
problems if you can) and in case there are any last minute changes.
Confirm whether expected special guests are indeed in attendance.
Have an agenda and plan to stick to it.
Start on time and plan to end on time.
Be prepared.
While you can plan well, things can run amuck. Be aware that this can happen and have a possible strategy
to address problems that might occur. The ideal MC is resourceful, creative, flexible and able to respond to
problems "on the fly". Your objective is to keep the event running on time.  Attendees appreciate an event that
runs on time. Consider the following tips: Keep a watch in front of you on the lectern or table to enable you to
keep track of the time. Or, arrange beforehand for someone in the audience to be a timekeeper.
Opening Comments
Welcome all present. If there are any special guests, officials, politicians or others of note they should be acknowledged in the welcome. Introduce yourself, share your personal success story, even if you think everyone should know who you are.
Remind the audience of why they have come -- the reason for the event and what you hope to achieve or accomplish at the event. ie: to celebrate accomplishments, share personal success stories and to have fun!
Outline the upcoming program briefly.

10. Being a Master of Ceremonies
DISCOVER IT. LIVE IT.
Addendum
Being a Master of Ceremonies
During the Program
Introductions/"Handling" the Speakers
As the Master of Ceremonies you are responsible for introducing every speaker and others who are playing a role in the program at the event. A proper introduction is important to the success of a speaker's presentation so have a good introduction prepared prior to the event for all key speakers. The more important the role played by the individual, the more extensive your introduction should be.
Once you have completed your introduction of a speaker, lead the applause for the speaker and continue applauding until they reach the lectern/podium.  
The MC serves as the informal "timekeeper" for the speaker.
When the speaker has finished this/her presentation lead the applause until the speaker is seated.
Before you proceed on to the next portion of the program it is appropriate to thank the speaker for their presentation.  If possible make reference to some aspect of the talk which you found particularly important or moving (this shows that you were listening and also confirms the value of the speaker's presentation).
Bridging
An essential skill of an MC is the ability to make comments which "bridge" between segments of the
meeting.  Prior to the meeting try to prepare some remarks which might be used to bridge between segments
or comments or anecdotes which could be used if there is a delay or disruption in the program.  A skilled MC
is able to use incidents that occur in the event as bridging tools. Don't worry if you are not sure how to do
this.  This skill can be gained with experience and practice if it does not come naturally to you.
If the event is several hours in duration, and there are breaks during it, it could be useful to make a few
comments summarizing what has happened so far in the event, and what is yet to come. If there is a gift or
honorarium for the speaker(s) it can be presented at the conclusion of their speech.  If there are several
individuals to receive gifts they can all be presented at the conclusion of the event if this seems appropriate
and all the speakers will still be available.
Closing the Meeting
The most Senior rank ie: Diamond or above should close the event with the objective of having new partners
want to commit to launch their business and guests commit to completing the Evaluation phase. Their close
will be both visionary and inspirational with a call to action.
At the end of the session it is customary for the MC to thank the speakers and thank all who attended for their
participation. In addition, if any people were of particular help to you in organizing and conducting the event,
thank them publicly at this point for their assistance.  If there are only a few people who assisted you can
name them individually.  If many people, you can say that you have had a large group of people helping you
make the event a success, and you would like to thank all of them for their support.  You could ask them to
rise to be acknowledged.
If you want to inspire your audience to take further action after the meeting use of a inspirational story or
quote might be useful. For example: "The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision on what is
before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out and meet it.“ -Thucydides
Following an event it is appropriate to send a note of thanks to all who contributed to the success of the
Event in a major way.  In particular speakers should be thanked for their contribution.  This
correspondence should be sent within two weeks of the event.  If you do not carry out this task
someone key in the organization that sponsored the event should perform this very important courtesy.
