Research & Development
What is a Virtual R&D Team?
A Virtual R&D Team is a team of people who "meet" and discuss ideas via electronic means -
email, phone conferencing, etc. You are part of the team that helps come up with ideas and
approaches, as well as developing and tweaking them. It does not mean you have to do a
lot of work. Your value to the host is YOU - who you are, how you think, your experiences,
wisdom and knowledge. While there are always opportunities to volunteer more of your
services, that's not a requirement for being on a Virtual R&D Team.
What types of projects will I be working on?
- Website design, navigation & user-friendliness
- Effectiveness and understanding of written material
- Writing and producing an ezine
- Various marketing materials
- Creating and fine-tuning workshops
- Developing new energy healing techniques
What are the benefits of being on a R&D Team?
- Receive FREE Energy Coaching sample sessions and teleclasses: These sessions are
offered from time to time to my contributing R&D team member, as new energy
healing workshops and techniques are developed.
- This is my gift of gratitude to you, for the valuable input you have provided me in
honing new workshops and techniques that will most benefit others like yourself.
- Keeps you energized and on the leading edge of creativity, thus enhancing your own
creativity.
- Get to see things first - get the inside scoop by being close to the source.
- Making a meaningful contribution to someone else's success and their profession.
- Discover more about yourself, your ideas, and your own profession - and you get
seriously engaged in your own learning process.
- Teaches you to think on your feet and let go of perfectionism.
- Be continuously stimulated by new thought.
- Experience a sense of community unlike any other.
- Increase your self-esteem by supporting others in reaching their goals.
- Learn about topics that are of interest to you.
How can you get the most out of being on a R&D Team?
- Think about how YOU benefit from participation. If you know why you're doing it, it
will be more fun, more stimulating, and your contributions will be better.
- Know your own style. Do you like to respond instantly, off the cuff, or do you prefer
to take time to think about your answers? Know your style and use it.
- Respond when you have something to say, and time to say it. Don't feel pressure to
respond every time. I value your time, and know you will respond when you are
stimulated to do so.
- Be clear and concise - as much as possible anyway. You want your idea to be heard.
Make it easy - consider using bullet points or phrases. Don't worry about perfection.
- Read the follow-up/summary emails. This is a great way to see how your ideas are
being used, and to tap into the power of a major think tank.
If you join my R&D Team, here's what you can expect:
- You will receive between 1 and 5 emails a month asking for input, advice,
suggestions, reactions, corrections, strategies, content, quotes and other stuff like
that related to ideas and project I am working on. Some months there may be a lot
going on, and others may be slower.
- You have the option of responding to these emails -- or not. But please don't join the
R&D Team unless you intend to be an active respondent and contribute your brain
and creative power.
- I generally don't respond on a 1-1 basis to emails/suggestions received by R&D Team
Members in response to a request for input. So, you'll need to have the contribution
of your ideas/comments be enough for you.
- When you share an idea or strategy, you're letting us use, adapt and incorporate it
into stuff we come up with, without attribution.
- The ideas and strategies we present, asking for feedback, are confidential to the R&D
Team, until we formally release the product or project.
- PC and Mac users are both welcome and able to fully participate.
- It's very likely that I'll be crafting intellectual property by weaving in some of the
suggestions, feedback and content shared by team members. I generally share the
resources created via input from the R&D Team for free to R&D Team members, at
least for a period of time.
- And, many of these projects/programs/ebooks, etc., will be available commercially
(meaning for a fee to the public). Legally, I will be the copyright holder/owner of this
material. If you are not comfortable with this approach, please do not join the R&D
Team at this time.
Interested in being a part of the R&D Team?
I invite you to become part of my R&D Team. I am working on some exciting new projects
for 2007 and would love you to join me! Please send an email to join.
