"I think that the POWerful Words (Character Development) portion of class is wonderful for the children and for the parents." J. O’Regan Hingham, Ma
--------------------
"I LOVE that the students have a "POWerful Word of the month" and that they learn important values and lessons that they can use as they grow. It has been rewarding to see my son excel in an activity that he enjoys and which allows him to progress according to his skill level." M.J. Fryer – Hingham, Ma

"Thank you for extending your personal knowledge beyond Martial Arts and suggesting fun activities my children and I can do together. You are assisting my husband and I toward our goal of molding them into polite, respectful, and responsible people!" J. O’Brien – Weymouth, Ma

Mr. Silverman,
I don't know if I ever mentioned this to you before, so I thought I would
take the time to do so now. I have been a karate instructor since 1978.
On July 13, 1982, I suffered a spinal cord injury that left me a
quadrapalegic.
Less than a year later, at the request and urging of my
students I returned to begin instructing once more. It was a rebirth.
With the help of some of my advanced students I became what I consider
even a better teacher.
During those early years of learning to cope with
my new life, I found myself stronger mentally and spiritually. During two
separate time spans, I found myself walking with the aid of my wife and
my physical therapist and finally on my own.
This was something that was
never in the prognosis of more than two different neurosurgeons. The
important thing here is that I found out just how important the people
that come into your life are to you and that you just don't know who they
will be.
This brings me to something else that I want to share with you. One of
the Powerful Word projects that was returned to me from Crystal, a
10-year-old brown belt. It had to do with cooperation. "Your Cooperation
Is Much Appreciated."
Dear Sensei,
Thank you for having the patience and heart in teaching me how much Enshin
Karate could change my life. Your hard work has made me a better person.
You taught me about defending myself, controlling my anger, and being able
to accomplish most anything I set my mind to.
I appreciate the way you
let me know I can do better. Through our cooperation together I know I
can make it to the top. Most of all, I would like to thank you for being
a friend, as well as my teacher (Sensei).
I know we are supposed to believe that we are making a difference in our
students lives. If it wasn't for the Powerful Words program, I would have
never known how much of a difference I truly made. You and your wife have
my extreme gratitude.
Most sincerely,
Sensei Robert Thivierge

POWerful Words Teacher Appreciation Week Event
We had 16 teachers attend
and this was our 1st time running the event.
Students loved it, Parents loved it, Teachers LOVED it!
We're considering running it twice next year. Once in the fall and
then again in the spring.
The entire experience was great. We weren't sure what the turnout
would be, but we were happy with what we got.
The kids who forgot to
invite their teachers were pretty upset when the other students'
teachers arrived, so I'm sure they'll remember to invite them next year.
We timed the event to match up with our Kids Safe Bully Week at the
school, so teachers who came in saw us in action with the kids and also
saw that our program really is more then just kicking and punching.
I
collected their contact info and am currently working to bring our
bullying program into their classes.
We'll also be sending in Sensei
Arango's "What a Teacher Makes" story in a simple frame as a "Thank
You", along with more info on our school programs.
All in all a great event. Press release went out a few days ago and I'm
hoping to see some media exposure on it as well!
Thanks again for an AWESOME product!!

Dear Dr. Robyn,
Last week I had a parent tell me that the character
lessons learned at my school will allow them a chance to open up as a
family, a dialog that is helping to build self esteem and confidence in
their adopted daugher!
Thank you POWerful Words!

" I am a PhD candidate working on a dissertation in the area of Character
Education, Positive Youth Development, and the Martial Arts. During my
preliminary research, I came across POWerful Words; and since the
formalized character development curriculum covered what I was originally
going to study and write in my chosen topics, I called Dr. Robyn Silverman
and offered to do a Program Evaluation. She accepted my proposal and
gracefully
went over the plan with me.
I am hopeful that the findings of my study
will help us learn more about the effectiveness of a comprehensive
curriculum such as POWerful Words, and its wonderful benefits to children
and their families, and promote a powerful program in character education,
which ultimately enhances healthy and positive development among youth.
This kind of information is required to accurately endorse effective
martial arts program for any adults, who are seriously considering
enrolling their children in martial arts and for martial arts instructors
or school owners, who are either planning to implement an effective
character education program in their curriculums or improving their
existing ones."

The Powerful Words Program has been great! You have a different mat chat
twice a week which makes it very easy for instructors to follow. The
parents really like the idea that the childrens sheets are geared towards
their age group.
All our students are expected to turn in the project sheets the kids love
getting the stars for their uniform when they turn them in on time. We
also have started using the sheets during our graduations we read some of
the projects out loud in
front of their friends and family this makes for a very emotional time and
the kids feel honored when their sheets are read. Powerful Words has been
one of the best investments we have made.

Dear Swim School Owner,
Are you looking for A PROVEN SUCCESS SYSTEM that is both good for your students and good for you at the same time? I am excited to share some of the closely guarded SECRETS about our POWerful Words Project System! But first, a little bit of background so that you can see where I'm coming from:
I have a confession to make ...when my husband and I first opened our Studio, we didn't have a clue about what we were doing! We had a fantastic curriculum (as many schools do!) but we knew that we needed a system to teach LIFE SKILLS that could be taught by any of the instructors at our school. We wanted to deliver on the promise that we had made…you know the one – “We’ll help you Develop Your Character!” What we realized though, was that we didn’t have a SYSTEM in place to actually do that. Now just like in most other schools, our students address instructors with respect and answer Yes Sir and Yes Maam! But there’s a whole lot more to developing character than that…wouldn’t you agree?
So, we did what everybody else did. We went out and spent a whole lot of money on all of the programs that were supposed to be "complete" and "easy to use". What we found was that they didn't make the grade in my book! These programs were either too simple or not easily taught to staff members. We were looking for fun, exciting, and informational lesson plans that were age appropriate so that every single one of our students would remain engaged with the material so they’d ACTUALLY LEARN IT!
I decided to put my PhD in Child Development and expertise in working with children to use and build exactly what we needed for our academy ...and the RESULTS HAVE BEEN AMAZING!
Fast forward to today…Hundreds of the Most Successful Schools in the World are now:
 |
Enjoying the Peace of Mind that comes from knowing exactly what their staff is going to say, before they even open their mouths! |
|
Developing Super Star Staff members that feel confident about teaching Character Development as they finally have an EASY TO USE - PROVEN SYSTEM to follow! |
|
Parents are becoming Raving Fans of the Martial Arts and keeping their children enrolled longer because of the HIGHLY VALUABLE CHARACTER SKILLS being developed in each and every class. |
| |
|
|
POWerful Words is the FIRST Character Development Program to have developed AGE APPROPRIATE PROJECTS FOR EVERY STUDENT YOU TEACH!!! |
| |
You wouldn’t teach a first grader advanced algebra and expect them to understand, would you? You wouldn’t expect a fourteen year old to stay engaged with a lesson plan about Mr. Sniffles, would you? Well, unfortunately, the only option that most Swim Schools have had in regard to character education is a “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” mentality! |
| |
POWerful Words proudly delivers YOU the BEST of the BEST: |
| |
|
1 POWerful Project per month for your youngest students – Age 4-6 |
|
1 POWerful Project per month for your school age students – Age 7-12 |
|
1 POWerful Project per month for your Teens and Adults – Age 13+ |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Without a Character Development Curriculum, You are simply teaching people how to fight! |
| |
I hate to say it, but almost ANY Swim School can teach a person how to Swim. It's only the top 5% of the schools that go above and beyond and give their students what they REALLY NEED - An Unfair Advantage in Life! We have spoken with literally thousands of parents over the years and what we learned both shocked and amazed us... |
| |
You Don't Go to a Restaurant and Only Get Offered What the Chef Likes to Eat!
You Order What YOU WANT! |
| |
Your Clients are Interested in What You Can Do For Them!

The POWerful Projects are the Ultimate Time Saver and Value Creator for the Martial Arts Instructor and School.

"Thank you for inviting me to your academy and for involving and appreciating teachers. I LOVE what I do and can tell that you do too. I just need to say thank you for all you do in helping to produce such fine human beings ...
"BRAVO" for all you do!"
R. Beckham – Teacher Braintree, Ma

Hi Jason:
The Powerful Words Program is a HUGE success!!!
I'm always trying to get feedback from students and parents as to what makes my school successful. There are two major areas that are working beyond anything I could have hoped for...
1) Get rid of the instructor ego and treat students and parents with the same respect i want to be treated with.
Everyone wants to be appreciated and by treating people with kindness, the response in return has been overwhelming.
2) Powerful Words has been phenominal! Parents tell me they love the program because the Parent's Perch and Dear Dr. Robyn really help them learn how to relate to their kids. The program is wonderful!
Granted, i don't know EVERY karate instructor in my state, but of the ones I do know, I'm the only person employing the "softer side treat them with respect" theory and the Powerful Words Program.
Other karate people are stunned at how my school has not only grown from 17 to nearly 70 in 6 months, but I don't have to "force" people to stay.
I try to tell them what's working for me, but many of the "traditional "retro" karate instructors" aren't yet grasping the new approach to Swim School success for the new age of karate.
Your program is incredible and i will always be grateful for your help. :-)
Have a great day!
Donna Nowicki

If you are on the fence about whether to subcribe to POWerful Words what
are you waiting for! We have been using the program for over a year. Our
kids love the monthly projects and fight to be the first to turn them in.
The real valuable comes from what the parents see.
We constantly get
feedback similar to this:
"that is the stuff we have always wanted to
teach our kids but just never get around to doing it!"
The big plus for me is that writing our weekly lesson
plan is a breeze. I just plug it in! (with a great bulletin board to
boot!)
If you have anyone who need more information on what your program
can do for them please tell them to contact me.

Mr & Dr Silverman,
I was recently surprised to win an award that I wasn't even aware
that I was eligible for.
One of our local papers does a "Best of the
Best" reader contest every year for several categories such as best
dentist or pediatrician, and I was selected as the Best Teacher for
2007!
The other candidates were three
other High School teachers.
Every business that has earned this
award posts it where all the customers can see it. This is a huge
award in our area!
This would not have been possible without all of your help. I have
learned so much about teaching, martial arts and running a successful
school from all of you over the past couple of years. My skills and
abilities have definitely had a "Quantum Leap" (pun intended).
The POWerful Words program has been a huge hit
with parents, students and community members. Every time I talk with
the parents your program stands out as a favorite benefit of training
at our school.
The retail suggestions you made have allowed me to
improve another income source at the school and is starting to really
take off.
Also, the students that participated in the Escrima
seminar are still talking about how great it was.
My name is on this award only through all of your cooperation
(POWerful Word this month), hard work and patience.

The concept of doing a 'word of the month' is a real simple one. the act
of implementing it for success is not. Jason and Dr. Robyn have made this
incredibly
simple to do.
Powerful words is simple to implement and train your staff on how to run
it. Everything is already done for you. From top to bottom the program
is extremely
professional.
The first stop on my school tour is now my Powerful Words bulletin board.
Parents are always impressed with this. it helps me to build real value
into our program
with very little effort. it has definitely helped me to get parents
excited to enroll their children.
Of course it is also a fantastic retention tool. The more educational we
make our curriculum, the less willing a parent is to allow their child to
quit.
Powerful Words is one great program!!!
Michael Brooks - Zandris Tae Kwon Do - Connecticut
--------------------
Since implementing the POWerful Words program we have received more
emails, letters and positive comments from the parents then ever before.
Parents really look forward to the Dear Dr. Robyn and Parent Perch letters
and feel that the POWer Chats and monthly projects have been a tremendous
benefit to their child's personal development.
It has been easy for us to
get plenty of press coverage because of the press releases that Dr. Robyn
has designed for you. One of the great things about the program is it is
a simple system to follow. Everything is laid out for you.
Also, the
Silvermans are very helpful in helping you implement the program and
answering any questions you may have.
It is great to tell people we have
a child development specialist as part of our team.
I believe this adds
credibility to what we do and positions our school as a character
development center in our community.

Dr. Silverman,
Thank you for providing us with a comprehensive, logical, step by step,
age appropriate procedure to teach the difficult concepts that even
parents, teachers and care givers have difficulty presenting.
Your program takes single words, like "Anger Management", and breaks it
down on several levels from pre-school to adult.
You energize and educate the parents with an article called "Parents
Perch" every month. The 3-7 year olds are provided with graphics
depicting the topic. Ages 7 and up are given simple THINKING TOOLS to
solve their problems.
One parent told me that when her son came home from class he said "I am
going to be better at being angry because when Sean teases me-I know how
to handle it now!" She had heard the same speech that night and was
totally impressed that her 7 year old got the message so clearly. And mom
is a 4th grade teacher.
Thank you for the tools..it makes the job so much easier and much more
satisfying.
Best regards,
Joyce Santamaria
