INSIDE NYSAE continued from page 17 behavioral kinesiology, or what Teplitz calls “body talk.” Body talk, according to Teplitz, is based on the concept that everyone and everything in our external and internal environment measurably affects us. As explained by Teplitz, the brain sends electrical impulses through the nervous system to direct the body. When something disrupts those signals, then the body’s functioning is affected, and if something interferes with the electrical signals telling a muscle to contract, then there will be a noticeable difference in muscle strength. He demonstrated that it is possible to determine these effects by testing muscle resistance. Cool white lighting, negative people, lying, and frowns can all lower muscle resistance, while full spectrum lighting, visualizing negative people in a positive way, music, telling the truth, and even the crossing of energy paths can all raise muscle resistance. Teplitz originally graduated from Hunter College and Northwestern University School of Law and practiced as an attorney for the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. He then studied and received Masters and Doctorate Degrees in Holistic Health Sciences. He is the author of the books Managing Your Stress: How To Relax and Enjoy; Switched-on Living; and Brain Gym for Business. Since approaching the workday with negative thoughts, with hostility, frustration, anger, disappointment, or depression, can be an energy drain for ourselves and to those around us, Teplitz’s ultimate message: Choose the positive. NYSAE’s 2007 CAE Enrichment Program The Certiﬁed Association Executive (CAE) designation is a mark of achievement for any leader in the ﬁeld of association management.

The CAE designation identiﬁes you as someone committed to – and experienced in – the non-proﬁt profession.” Linda A. Glad, CAE, Director of Operations, National Association of Episcopal Schools “Early on in my career in association management, I made obtaining the CAE designation a top professional goal. When I became a CAE several years later, I was ﬁlled with a great sense of accomplishment. I think that by getting your CAE you’re saying that you’re serious about association management as a profession and that you’re committed to your own professional growth.” Josh Gold, CAE, CMP, Senior Sales Manager, Walt Disney World Resort “The CAE credential has provided an immense beneﬁt to my career as an association and not-forproﬁt executive.
