Newsletter for NGHWA Chapter
January 2006

Hello fellow NGHer's, Hypnotherapists, Hypnotists, and anyone
else reading this:

I'd like to introduce myself as the new president for the
Washington State Chapter of the National Guild of Hypnotists. My
name is Jackie Foskett. My business, Healing Hypnotherapy is a
growing Eastside practice (Newcastle) since 1999. I am also
still working in the dental world 2 days per week as a Registered
Dental Hygienist. Having been involved in the healthcare arena
for almost 28 years now, I know this is an area that needs our
hypnotherapy profession. And, my goal as President of NGHWA, is
to help bring more awareness of our profession to the healthcare
professions, as well as to more of the general public. They
really do need us, as hypnosis/hypnotherapy is a wonderful
vehicle to access the vast network of the mind, body, emotional
and spiritual connections, igniting changes and healing in a
wonderfully holistic manner. Please join me in getting the
message out there that we have a gift to share with our fellow
human beings!

We have a great Board this year and intend to keep up the
momentum and success set up by the previous Board. I want to
personally thank: Keith Livingston, Laurie Finkelstein, Bev
Byrant, and Evie Chan, for all the hard work they did and the
many excellent meetings in 2005.

The other current 2006 Board members are:
Vice President: John Gore
Secretary: Cheryl Chamberlain
Treasurer: Evie Chan (again!!-Thank you Evie)
Events Coordinator: Open

We all look forward to meeting each of you in the coming year.

that will expand your competency and success in your work. Jack,

licensed Vocational school in Seattle, training and certifying
Transpersonal Clinical Hypnotherapists since 1988.

to the castle.

More information will follow in next newsletter. Of course, at
any time you can go to www.nghwa.org for more information on our
guest speakers and events.

Other meetings' guest speakers are still in the planning stages.
If you know of anyone that might be interested, please contact
one of the Board members.

I'd like to remind you that January is the month to renew your
local NGH membership. For a mere $50.00 you get free continuing
education at all the meetings, as well as the opportunity to
display your flyers for your business and events, and have your
website link on the www.NGHWA.org link. We are also
investigating the possibility of doing joint advertising this
year, which would certainly be another benefit of being a member.


If you are not currently a member of the National Guild of
Hypnotists, www.ngh.net, the national organization, I would
encourage you to join and be part of a nationally recognized
organization. NGH membership provides many opportunities for
continuing education, which for me is one of the main reasons I
became a member. They send out magazines, with articles that
will keep you abreast of other practitioners' views, tools, and
successes. They also provide an annual conference full of
continuing ed, as well as other seminars throughout the year to
fill your toolbox for working with clients and doing business. I
enjoy being part of an organization where I can regularly
dialogue with other professionals, feel connected and not
isolated. If you are not currently a member, please feel free
to dialogue with one of our members to gain additional insight
into the advantages of membership. We'd love to have you on our
team to help promote our profession of hypnosis.


Another reminder: January is the month of resolutions!! Hypnosis
is great for motivation, breaking habits, building new healthy
habits, and releasing behaviors that are no longer serving a
person's well being. Promote your business at your gym, be a
speaker for a local community group, put a special on your
website---use this month to further your business and the many
uses of hypnotherapy.

Following my message, is a message from our Secretary, Cheryl
Chamberlain. She has summarized our last meeting for you, in
case you missed it. Thank you, Cheryl for your time and effort.

Finally, I wish for all of you, a most abundant 2006, filled with
creativity, passion, lots of clients to serve, and whatever else
it is you wish to manifest on this planet.

See you at the meetings!
Sincerely,
Jackie Foskett, CHT

Hello NGHers,

I hope your holidays were healthy happy and memorable for all.
We are so excited for the upcoming year 2006 to be a very
positive and beneficial year for all of who attend the NGH of
Wash., each month. Jackie Foskett and John Gore and myself
Cheryl Chamberlain just finished our first conference call and I
would say, it was very successful.

Last month we had a very powerful speaker. Maria Marsala a Small
Business Builder, former Wall Street Trader & Licensed One Page
Consultant. She discussed concepts on how to power up your
business with a, "One page business plan."

She talked about the five important parts of a business plan.
She showed us how to increase our productivity. We created a one
sentence business vision statement. We created one specific
objective and strategy to help us monitor and see the big picture
for 2006 and beyond. And last but not least, she showed us how
to use an action plan to help us move forward.

The One Page Business Plan is a fast, easy way to write a
business plan. It links three very important concepts: planning,
implementation, and accountability.

Maria also gave everyone who attended, a free CD and sent many
useful emails to all of us.

These are just some of the perks you can receive just by
attending our NGH of Wash., Meetings each month.

We look forward to seeing each of you on Jan 13th. Please come
and welcome our new President Jackie Foskett, Vice President John
Gore and myself, Secretary Cheryl Chamberlain, as well as our
continuing Treasurer, Evie Chan.

Hope to see you soon,
Cheryl
