Degree Program: Define Your Publics

September 1st, 2010

My name is Daphna, and I own a Life Coaching company in Los Angeles, CA.  The following is a success story I wrote from degree program student Jonathan Turton recently conducting his Surveys course apprenticeship in my company.

j0283537Since opening my office last year, I hadn’t defined my public.  The first win I had on this project was finally doing so.  Jonathan referred me to the some data from his course on “wrong publics.”  It was through learning this data that I finally worked out this very vital point!  I now see how absolutely indispensable that action was. Then came the surveys.  I was surprised at the buttons that came up.  I was very far from them in my marketing efforts.  I also gained the valuable data on what images and symbols positioned with my products/services.

For the first time, I am actually ready to put together the right promo for my business, and effectively introduce myself to my potential public.

Thank you for your help!

Business Degree: The Client’s Viewpoint

September 1st, 2010

Hello, my name is Jonathan Turton.  I’m a student from Northern California.  I have just completed my Surveys course and apprenticeship on the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Business Management and Administration.

This was a phenomenal course. From this course, I was able to learn how to find the viewpoint of a public about a specific product.  By knowing this, I’m able toj0309602work miracles, as I’m able to promote a product better.  One way of doing this is by using the correct buttons in order to attract your public, and through this process, be able to give out the message you’re intending to give out. It is through this simple action that you can make yourself more known and attract a lot more clients. This was an amazing course and I recommend it to anyone!

Consultant Training: How To Teach

September 1st, 2010

Hi, this is Stella Ou. I am from Taiwan and am currently studying to become a Certified Master Consultant at Hubbard College of Administration International.  I’ve just completed the course “Basic Study Manual for Company Training.”

18This is a must study course for anyone and everyone who wants to enhance their learning abilities and know how to study to really get the most out of a subject.  Most of the time when people come across learning barriers they don’t know how to handle them.  They just let go of the subject or justify not learning it until the point of dropping it all together.  This course teaches you WHY there are barriers to study, what they are and how to handle them.  I have come to realize that I have had all these study barriers since I was little and that was the reason why I was incapable of understanding the subjects I wanted to learn about.

When I first studied this course in Taiwan, I applied the “dictionary” technique on my students (I teach English to adults in Taiwan) directly.  The result was phenomenal.  They learned 10 times faster than before!  They could make up sentences faster and were able to learn new words each day along with not forgetting about the words they learned.   I was almost in tears when I observed that not only their willingness to learn had sky rocketed, but also the enthusiastic look on their faces in learning a foreign language.   I now restudied this book again at HCA.  I can definitely see how the learning techniques can also be applied to the work place by helping the staff as well as the management to increase their learning abilities, thus helping such individuals to enhance their performance.

This technique is good for people of all ages.  We all need to learn, and this course will help you learn HOW to learn effectively.  It really works!

Master Consultant: Executive Training

August 26th, 2010

Hi my name is Damiano Shehu.  I am from Albania and I Just finished the Product Debug course that is part of the Master Consultant certification at Hubbard College of Administration International.

Before we get into the details of the course I would like to define two words:

Bugged: is slang for snarled up or halted.

Debug: means to get the snarls or stops out of something.

As one can see, this course is dedicated to the removal of bugs from a production area. It encompasses a great many bugs such as financial, logistics, personnel,j0284001communication and relations with staff.  For each and every bug, there is a specific methodology that will resolve the bug and bring about increased in production. Furthermore, by drilling the various situations in the course room, you gain the confidence to apply the data you learn in a real business environment.

One of the tools that I personally found extremely useful is False Data Stripping. In a society where false information is rampant from so-called authorities, it‘s absolutely necessary to be able to differentiate false data from true data. The False Data Stripping is a step-by-step procedure that allows you to diminish the effect of the untrue data on a subject and replace it with true data. This is a very powerful and useful tool for an executive.  Using this with the other tools learned on this course make for an extensive technology that can and does bring about the desired results-increased production.

Business Degree: Vital Tool

August 26th, 2010

My name is Jamie Chang.  I’m a Taiwanese student from Kaohsiung on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.  I just finished the Marketing and Public Relations Surveys course.

j0283063I just completed the Surveys course. This course gives you a very powerful tool about how you actually create and conduct surveying. I have done some practical surveys before.  Previously, it wasn’t that hard for me to understand the sequence.  However, this time I got to know how I can actually CREATE the survey questions and get the right public, so I can establish a nice marketing campaign to promote my products widely known to publics.

This course also gives you another tool called the Tone Scale.  The Tone Scale is a scale that shows what emotion (tone) you are at, and based on that, the surveyor can determine what reality the publics are in which provides you with the needed information to create the same reality and have agreement with them.

One of the main things I got from Surveys is that you do surveys with ARC (Affinity, Reality and Communication). No ARC, no surveys; no surveys, no buttons; no buttons, no promotion, and then you got NOTHING.  Surveys are a MUST before you promote things. It’s the key to success, and I now see the necessity of Surveys!

Master Consultant: Professional and Private Success

August 19th, 2010
My name is Eiman Rahnama.  Iím an Iranian student from Tehran on the Master Consultant Levels at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.
Have you ever asked yourself what it takes to be able to find the real problem in a business? Or what it takes to be a business consultant? What should a consultant be able to do? As a newly certified Master Consultant, I have gained the ability to help others expand their business and improve their lives.
Helping people expand their business is one thing, but being able to help them improve their lives through doing so, is a whole other amazing product of this training! Hubbardís Administrative Technology provides you with the tools to improve your condition both professionally and privately. Itís interesting when you think about it.  How can one attain success professionally if he or she canít privately?  This just doesnít make sense.  This is where I come in!  I approach the business of consulting companies by first making sure the leaders are doing well personally.
It is my duty as a business consultant to help individuals expand and prosper. In the Master Consulting program at Hubbard College, I learned those tools. I noticed that I had the ability to work and expand any business without having any experience in that business. A business consultant just needs to know where to look for problems and once he finds the real problem, he can then suggest solutions.
I learned these tools at HCA.  I put these tools to test many times through the internships Iíve done and was very successful in doing so. I literally was able to change peopleís lives!  I was able to see them change right in front of me by simply showing them how things should really be; or by simply by clearing up misunderstandings about their field they had all their lives.
It feels great have this training, which allows me to make such a positive impact in companies and in the lives of those companiesí staff!

Business Degree: Prepared for Career

August 19th, 2010
My name is Felipe Pedrosa.  Iím a degree student from Brazil.  I just finished the internship en route to earning my Associate of Applied Science degree in Business Management and Administration from Hubbard College of Administration International.
Completing the degree program was a great experience! The company where I did my internship had never seen the Hubbardís Administrative Technology.  This was actually a positive thing, as this is what I will face once I go back to Brazil to implement Hubbardís Administrative Technology in my family’s company.
I wanted to provide the company I did the internship for with the best guidance possible.  I enlightened them with many references, and I made sure they could apply them once I was gone.  Probably the most impactive thing I did for them was expose the executives to managing by statistics A number or amount compared to a another number or amount of the same thing; method of measuring production. However, it isnít enough to just expose a company to statistics on the internship.  I actually had to increase the statistics once we determined which products to measure!
I now feel secure to implement what I learned in any company.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me get through the program, my father for supporting me to be here and to L. Ron Hubbard for providing the Administrative Technology for all of us!

Associate Degree: Hiring the Right People

August 19th, 2010
Hi, my name is Monica Gonzalez, and I am from Mexico.  I just finished The How To Evaluate and Predict Human Behavior course and apprenticeship.
One thing you learn about on the course is the chart of human evaluation.  This is a chart that assists you in plotting where one is at based on behavioral characteristics displayed by an individual.  Itís very interesting to fully understand the human chart of evaluation and all the characteristics of the Tone Levels.  I understood the importance of having high/up tone people working for you and with you.  And by doing so, one can increase or decrease the success of the business.
Understanding the level of responsibility, communication, and the way people in different tone levels can receive and hand out information is unbelievable! It can help you a lot.  You spot lower toned individuals and this will help you determine what those individuals are capable of with regards to carrying out assignments or level of accountability.
Having all this knowledge will cause me to hire the right people when I start my own business. It is now the ability to surround oneself with the right people that will help you grow and expand.

Continuing Education: Formulas For Business Success

August 18th, 2010
My name is Robert Turton.  I am a doctor from Santa Maria, CA.  I am a continuing education student at Hubbard College of Administration International, and I just finished the apprenticeship for the Formulas For Business Success course.
I can see the relief on the staff member by identifying the real cause of what happened in her area to cause a down trending situation.  It was not that she was getting lazy and not doing her job.  It had just gotten to the point where she was not able to accomplish all the extra work she had due to increased number of patients seen and to being under-staffed.
I can see how this staff member will now see the true benefit of logging everything she is doing, so she can be accountable.  On the other hand, and most importantly, one will be able to identify any bad situation before itís allowed to get any worse.

Master Consultant: Establishing Is The Foundation

August 13th, 2010

Hi my name is Damiano Shehu.  I am from Albania and I Just finished the Executive Establishment Officer course that is part of the Master Consultant Levels certification at Hubbard College of Administration International .

As the title of the course suggests, the Establishment Officers’ primary duties are to establish and maintain the organization. The course goes over the specificj0182826technology used by the Establishment Officer to achieve the above. It also delineates the importance of a sound structure that will enable a business to grow and expand.  It so happens that when organization is lacking that structure, sustainable growth and expansion aren’t possible.

If we were to compare an organization to a skyscraper as an analogy, you would clearly see that a skyscraper with a week structure is susceptible to fall from natural forces like wind and earthquakes.   For a company, high winds may be economic instability. However, if you had a skyscraper that had a strong yet flexible structure, this would enable it to handle even the strongest winds and the most destructive earthquakes.

Now, in a business, this would mean stability and flexibility despite of economic instability. Such a business would be so well established that very few external factors would have any real affect on it. The above is the duty of the Establishment Officer and as you can see, it is vital to the survival of any business, state, country or civilization.
