Take Charge of What Changes You

I can teach you how to plant just 10 questions in your mind that will insure you'll no longer be at the mercy of life's uncontrollable and unpredictable circumstances and people to shape you.

You can be in charge of the kind of person you become. No matter what kind of personality you have, you can be the gracious, patient, thoughtful, honest, trustworthy, respected kind of person you want to be and people need to have in their life.

Don't Forget the Kind of Person You Want to Be

All of us have a tendency to get so caught up in our busy-ness and responsibilities that we rush out the door into our day and simply forget the kind the of person we want to be, need to be and actually know we can be.

Too often we do things that frustrate others, but don't realize it's happening. Or, we just miss the many opportunities we have to treat people in ways that surprise them with grace, patience, thoughtfulness and respect -- the kind of things that leave people thinking, "I'm so glad you are in my life."

  • Does your mind wander when someone is talking to you?

  • Do you forget to follow the Golden Rule, even though you'd like to live that way every day?

  • Do you get so many things on your mind you don't remember to say thank you?

  • Do you forget to follow through when you've told someone you'd do something?

  • Do white lies sometimes slip out of your mouth when you really want to be an honest person?

Transformative Focus Questions can really help you get beyond those pitfalls.


What Will They Say at Your Funeral?

Don't forget... one day you will leave this life and people behind. The true value of your life will be expressed not in a list of your accomplishments but in your eulogy? That's when people will speak about who you were and hopefully how you influenced and blessed them with gifts of grace, understanding. listening, encouragement, patience, and respect. And so every day you are providing the raw material for their thoughts about you. In effect, you're helping to write your own eulogy. (Check out this excerpt from the video Transformative Focus Question #1.)

Questions Help You More Than Slogans

The world is full of self-help books and courses. Many of them have much to offer. But too many rely on slogans and affirmations. They're not bad---just not powerful enough. In my years as an author, speaker, award winning magazine editor, and especially a pastor-counselor, I am convinced that there is so much more transformative power in a good question than in a good slogan.

Meditation Has Its Limitations

As a 45-year long pastor I have also practiced and encouraged people to practice some form of daily meditation. My wife and I even created a prayer retreat center and ministry that morphed into a national organization, for goodness sake. But still I have learned that the real transformative value of meditation only happens when we are asking ourselves the right kind of questions.

That's why I landed on these ten questions in my life and have learned how to use them effectively.

WHAT YOU GET AND HOW IT WORKS

10 Videos

STEP ONE: After watching an introductory video you will be led through 10 videos, each one introducing one of the Transformative Focus Questions.

10 Customized Worksheets

STEP TWO: A stimulating worksheet will guide you through a reflection process to help you see how to use that particular question in your own unique life situation.

Practice Guidance

STEP THREE: We recommend you follow an initial two-day process. Day One - Watch the video and begin interacting with the worksheet.  Day Two - Spend an entire day doing what works for you to memorize the question, keep it at the forefront of your mind and act according to what the question calls you to remember throughout the day in your comings and goings.

Your Goal: Implantation

After going through all 10 questions and the customized worksheets using the two-day process, you will want to engage in cycling through the 10 questions (perhaps focusing on one different question each day) until you have planted these questions in your mind. The goal is to know them so well that they will spring to mind as you come across situations that call for one or more of them to be considered. There are many ways you can approach this "implantation" process. We will give you help in the last of the 12 videos.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW COURSE FROM FRESH IMPACT BUT READ THESE TESTIMONIALS FROM SOME WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH OUR OTHER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT COURSE
EXCELLENT EXERCISES...
Character. This is what my athletes need more than anything, not just on the court but in life. This is why I coach. This course is like having a coach beside you to put you through the paces and build the skills of good character.

GREAT FOR FAMILIES...
I've got seven kids. We've homeschooled them all. We have been going through the course with all of them together. The videos are so well done and helpful. It's been the most valuable family process we've gone through. I highly recommend it!

MEN'S GROUP...
Can anyone argue against the value of having men of character at home, work or in the marketplace? I used this course in a small group. The men were encouraged and challenged by its clear call to improving their character. We loved working through it together. A great bonding experience.

HI. I'M DOUG NEWTON

I've had quite a life as a pastor, a private boarding school administrator, an award winning magazine editor, university trustee, seminar speaker, and  author of 24 books. I've learned a lot about what it takes to gain respect, trust and make an impact. Yes, it involves good use of skills you've honed. But it always comes back to good character. If you're interested, I'd like to pass on what I've learned that can help you have fresh impact in your corner of the world.
