Hi Everybody,
I can't believe I've only been a member of HypnoThoughts for a few months. I've "met" so many wonderful, generous, kind people on this site!
I put together a publicity kit for WHD for a client, and I was going to get an ad on HypnoThoughts and sell the kit here as well.
Then I got in touch with my Inner Elf and I decided I just wanted to give the Publicity Kit away. So if you're a member of HypnoThoughts, you're getting an early Christmas present. :)
Go to this link to get your free Publicity Kit
You will be asked for your name, HypnoThoughts screen name, and email address so I can send you a password that will let you download the files.
You will not be added to an email list. I will not spam you. After my HypnoSummit presentation was pirated, I'm a little sensitive about posting copyrighted documents online. I just want to keep track of who downloads the files.
These are 100% original documents you won't find anywhere else--not even the WHD website has them. And they're only for members of HypnoThoughts.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
With much heartfelt affection,
Kathleen

UPDATE! PLEASE READ!
===================
If you have already downloaded the Publicity Kit, please remove all reference to "World Hypnotism Day™" from the documents.
The owner of that trademark has asked that I stop distributing a free publicity kit to help you promote your WHD event. He has stated to me in an email that "NO WHD content can be distributed without my consent." So before you do anything to promote his event, please be sure you have his permission to do so, and please only use the materials he makes available to you.
Unfortunately, my client was never informed of these WHD promotional rules when he registered his WHD event, or of course he wouldn't have asked for my help, and I wouldn't have created these documents or shared them with the HypnoThoughts community.
The event organizer has said that my free publicity kit can only be used to promote WHD if I donate the kit to him.
He also asked that I delete this post from HypnoThoughts.
After giving it a lot of thought, I have declined to do both. I have declined to take down this post, because I know the documents I created can help you generate positive publicity for your practice and for the power of hypnotherapy in general, at any time of year. And I don't like the idea of "un-gifting" something to my friends on HypnoThoughts. This place, and you folks, are really special to me.
So I have chosen instead to remove all reference to any specific event from the documents I created. They are now entirely generic--you can use them for any event except WHD, any time.

My only intention was to help promote an event, your practice, and the awesome healing power of hypnosis. (And of course, to give presents and create goodwill at Christmastime.) In 20 years of doing public relations and event management work, I've never had an experience like this. I'm upset because whichever course of action I choose to take, someone loses, and I strive to create win-win-win situations.
Please accept my apologies. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience or disruption this has caused.
Sincerely,
Kathleen
