Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (1)
- $251,348 spent. Dynamic Essentials meetings were held each quarter in person and via livestream. DE is more than a series of classes and presentations, more than a platform of international speakers, but instead an experience which has a positive effect on all aspects of members and attendees personal and professional lives. DE meetings are a powerful means to personal change and growth. The DE Program enables attendees to renew their sense of direction and incorporate a firm belief in themselves, thereby achieving the goals they set for themselves. The DE experience revolves around becoming personally centered and focused on a major purpose, the Lasting Purpose of loving, giving, serving, and doing; out your own abundance, expecting nothing in return. Dr. Sid Williams spelled out how chiropractic fits into that purpose as a positive, proven practice idea and personal life philosophy. Through Dynamic Essentials, attendees understand how traditional Chiropractic Philosophy, Subluxation Correction and Lasting Purpose relate to the individual practitioner, their staff, their patients, and their community. Attendees develop confidence in themselves and chiropractic, and are able to verbalize the Dynamic Essential and Lasting Purpose with authority, taking charge of personal resources and affecting a positive change of health and happiness throughout their communities. Quarterly meetings provide opportunities for long time attendees to develop leadership skills in public speaking and mentorship as well as receive support and mentorship from organization leaders and guest speakers.
