Student Success Programs
We have created many Student Success Programs. These are special programs or activities designed to benefit you. All are free to you as a student of Meridian360.
- some supply necessary for a particular class about to take place
- a specific tool or resource we feel would benefit the student body
- tuning forks or chakra chimes
- specific books and manuals (like Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by Tortora or Atlas of Human Anatomy by Netters)
- homeopathics
- something new on the market that was shiny and nice and a bunch of us wanted it
- for the ‘common man’ to use in the privacy or their own home
- for full-time professional practitioners
- to focus on a particular issue (like learning or sports)
- for use on yourself or other people
- to provide a quick resolution
- to go very deep into the issue and get to the most buried aspects of what is going on.
With as many classes as we offer it is not feasible to offer all of them all the time. We feel we do a pretty good job of keeping our fingers on the pulse of what everyone wants. But you can vote for the classes you want to have offered soon, in case we missed something. Go to your student account page and click on the “My Class Voting” option. We consult the class votes as part of our analysis and decision making process when deciding which classes to offer. After that class is over, we zero out all the votes for that class. You are welcome to change your votes at any time.
- free public presentations (library, community or parks programs, local health food store, etc)
- community fair or event
- blogging
- electronic newsletters
- or even on the radio or in print
- donate canned goods for a food pantry
- commit to do three completely altruistic actions for a total stranger
- provide a minimal donation of their choice after their session (it is yours to keep because you have earned it)
- If you have registered for a class, let us know if you want a second copy of the manual in advance. We will print an extra copy for you right then and you will get both at class.
- If you are not currently registered for a class, but are willing to wait until we next offer it, we will print your extra copy of it when class rolls around. You will still get a better price even paying the extra shipping to get it to you.
There are a bunch of cool things we think practitioners need to know. Our Free Hot Topics Classes give our regular students access to these. Hot Topic Classes typically last between an hour and a day, and occur as needed. These live, instructor-led classes address selected topics we believe will benefit the entire program. Examples include:
- Business development, advertising, and marketing.
- Office, Practice, and Session management.
- Practitioner Insurance.
- Avoiding medical misrepresentation.
- Value of and how to streamline the process for obtaining your Energy Kinesiology Association (EnKA) certification.
- Addressing personal issues such as shielding, practitioner agendas, business sabotaging, ability to charge services fairly (over and under charging).
Some classes are available to all students, some may be a small randomly or specifically selected group of students. Just depends on the situation and what we feel is best.
This service is available to all students at any Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Independent Site.
Why does it always seem like you think you have every question you want answered at a class answered… until the class is over and then you come up with really good questions you want answered? Never fails.
Now we have a solution to that. We call it our Class Follow-up Program.
Lecture and the initial class practices aren’t always enough. Sometimes, it’s a good idea to practice things in a more relaxed, open setting. In fact, we think it’s such a good idea, we have made it part of our program.
All of our Site Captains hold regularly scheduled Practice Workshops where students can
- gather to practice skills
- ask/answer questions
- collaborate on what works well for them
- receive work from their colleagues.
In addition, it gives Site Captains the opportunity to make sure students are
- developing skills at an appropriate rate to meet their PDP goals
- developing accurate technique
- staying engaged
Our focus is your success.
This service is available to all students at any Tier 1 or Tier 2 Site.
- Carrying a belief system about a particular condition, situation, or client.
- Struggling with accurate muscle monitoring, an essential technique, self-doubt, or sabotaging.
- Finding yourself drained after working with a specific client or quantity of clients.
- Taking on your client’s issues and energies.
- Being surrogated by your client.
- Unable to release a surrogation to your client.
- Trying to be “The White Knight” and solve everyone’s problems.
- Struggling with an ethical dilemma between your practitioner obligations and your client’s desires.
- Possessing a conflict with an internal agenda.
No matter what the issue is, we recognize the need to be able to deal with it in a timely way. These challenges can shut you down if left to linger and none of us can afford that.
- guidance and counsel
- ideas about your work
- options of things you could do differently
- areas where you could dig deeper for more core stresses
- techniques which you might be doing wrong
There comes a point when you are practiced, prepared and ready to roll, and you just need clients. And then, hello? Clients? Where are you? Happens to all of us. One of our goals is to minimize how much it happens to you because we know how frustrating it can be. Our Site Captains have the specific obligations of assisting you. We have many ways we’ve come up with to support you:
For our Tier 1 and Tier 2 students:
- Site Captains actually refer work to you. Being a Site Captain brings them in contact with lots of people. As Site Captains can without jeopardizing their own practice, they will refer clients to you. These may be spill-over of their existing clients who need to see someone quick when they are booked out, folks who just called and asked about Meridian360, or the person they ended up talking to at some event or checkout line.
- Site Captains will stock your business cards (yup – you need to get some) and set them out at appropriate places like community education events, Community Clinic Events, fairs, demos, presentations, or the salon where they get their hair done. (FYI…it has been my personal experience that if you have a salon that likes you, they tell everyone…)
For our Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Independent Site Students:
- Our website actually has a place dedicated to finding a practitioner so your contact info is available for people trying to find a practitioner. If you want your contact information included, please configure the appropriate section in your student account and we will include your information.
Because there are so many Site Locations, it just makes sense that as some point we all need to get together at one time. Retreats will be scheduled where special classes, networking, training, session swaps, and other fun events can happen. We’re not going to call it an annual event, because maybe it will happen more often, or maybe it will happen less. It all just depends on what is best for the student body. But the idea is there, and it will happen as it needs to.
This service is available to all students at any Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Independent Sites.
Some of the best learning experiences we’ve ever had occurred outside of class when we just got to sit and watch a more experienced practitioner work. There is knowledge, wisdom, and perspective you can learn through these types of experiences that you just simply cannot capture in a classroom setting.
Our Shadowing Program gives every student the opportunity to experience this at least once every quarter. Your Site Captain will coordinate small groups of 1-3 students to attend and observe actual live client work they perform. During this work, the Site Captain will provide running commentary about the session and everything going through their mind as they work including information on:
- Session stages like issue and goals, setup, balancing, correction, etc.
- Progression though the session.
- Techniques used, how they unfold, blend, and/or deviate.
- Intuition experienced.
- Energies felt.
- Emotional processing and the unfolding of the client story.
The session will likely include work in excess of your knowledge, but that’s OK because the emphasis isn’t going to be on teaching you new material. It will simply acknowledge with light over-view and how it relates to what is being done.
Your Site Captain will jointly decide with you when shadowing will provide you the best benefit based on your particular skills and understanding. It is important that shadowing not be done too early, nor delayed excessively.
Please understand that ultimately the focus is still on the best interests of the client on the table. The client will have provided approval in advance that they are OK with this, but they have the right to change their mind at any time throughout the session should the session go into an area the client is not comfortable with. If the client decides they want the shadowing students to leave at any time, you will be expected to step out, but you will be allowed another full session to shadow.
This service is available to all students at any Tier 1 or Tier 2 Site.
Amazon reviews have served me well on more than one occasion when I was waffling about what to buy. More often than not, after reading the user reviews I was able to figure out pretty quickly what I wanted to do.
Meridian360 understands time and money don’t grow on trees (otherwise we’d be in the time-tree and money-tree growing business). We have given you the Modality description of each class, our opinions on what classes will serve you best in your PDPs, and now the grass-roots feedback and opinions on each class – so you can make the best decisions for you.
This moderated forum allows you to post your thoughts, feelings, and opinions on individual classes. It also allows you to ask question about the class to other students if your question on the class content and usefulness has not been adequately met. Please keep your comments focused on the modality class – the extent of its benefit to you, the amount of material in the class, the value of it in your personal practice, your perception of the value for the cost, was it easy to learn or were you drinking from the firehose, etc. Please do not include any feedback on the instructor here as that is not the purpose of this.
This service is available to all students at any Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Independent Site.
At Meridian 360 we recognize there are other places you can get training. We really appreciate you choosing us, and enabling the success of our vision. Truthfully, it is your desire, your dedication, your effort, your time, and your money that make this program even possible in the first place. We put effort into trying to figure out how to share that reward with students and came up with a way that we think works best. We’re proud to announce our Student Loyalty Program that rewards your lifelong learning efforts.
For every $1000 spent on class tuition, you earn a cumulative 0.5% discount on all future tuition. Discounts are cumulative to 10%, and will last forever as long as you attend at least one class a year. If your last class purchase was more than 12 months ago, you will have to purchase your next class at full price and then your discount will be reinstated.
This program is available to all students at any Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Independent Site.
If there is one thing we’ve learned over time, it’s that students have questions. And we love that. It shows they are pondering, integrating, exploring, and using what they’ve learned. And questions aren’t just for classes.
We’ve established regularly scheduled Q&A Sessions open to every student in our program where they can get questions answered. In fact, they can do even more than that:
- Share thoughts and insights related to this work
- Express concerns they or their clients have developed
- Request guidance for a specific situation or circumstance
- Seek help with an ethical issue they’ve run into
- Voice their great experiences and testimonies of the work, or those their clients have shared
- And….still get the answer to that ‘just one last’ question they’ve got tucked away about some technique or procedure
Questions can be submitted via email in advance for efficiency, or may include an open-mic opportunity.
Our live regularly scheduled Zoom sessions typically last between 15 min and an hour, depending on how inquisitive our students are feeling that day and how much fun we are all having.
In fact, we think these session are so fun, we actually record them and index the questions so future students can go back and listen to them when they want to.
This service is available to all students at any Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, or Independent Site.
Merdian360 does its best to help out everyone, but there are lots more of you than there are of us. And since many of you are excellent, experienced practitioners with big hearts, it makes perfect sense to us to enlist your aid in helping those that may need some extra tutelage. Our Big Brother/Big Sister Student Success Program enables more experienced practitioners to partner up with those looking for a little help. That help might come in all kinds of formats:
- Just chatting on the phone and answering questions that came up that day.
- Providing encouragement and support when things seem to be unraveling.
- Serving as a sounding board as someone tries to wrap their mind around something new.
- Swapping sessions for practice or to address an issue you are struggling with.
- Being your class buddy, introducing you to other students, and sitting next to you.
- Answering hard-core technique and practitioner questions.
- Or anything in-between…
So, if you really enjoy helping others learn and mentoring them, please let your Site Captain know if you are interested in volunteering. We would really appreciate it.
And if you feel you would benefit from having a Big Sister/Big Brother, please let us know so we can match you up with someone.
And should we tap you on the shoulder and ask you about either, please take it as either a compliment that we recognize your gifts, or as a comfort that we care about your success.
This service is available to all students at any Tier 1 or Tier 2 Site.
