Program Objectives
During this certification course you will learn to cultivate your ability
to live in a creative, life-enhancing state in order to more consistently
perform with passion, clarity, and commitment. To accomplish this, you
will:
- Become aware of how subtle shifts in your physiology, internal imagery,
and self-talk are key factors in generating the experiences of relaxation,
mental clarity, excitement, sociability, and creativity.
- Learn how to purposely shift your physiology and cognition, in order
to spend more time in states characterized by alertness, relaxation,
curiosity, and solution oriented thinking.
- Discover how to enter enjoyable "flow" states in which you
will learn and perform at the peak of your ability.
- Learn various verbal skills that will help you to cognitively track
the way you think and feel, thereby helping you to more effectively
communicate and construct life affirming realities.
Objective #2: Leading and Coaching others
A secondary focus of the course will be the beginning stages of learning
how to similarly help others shift into generative, life-enhancing states
and to support those you manage, coach or lead, in performing at the peak
of their abilities. To accomplish this, you will:
- Learn how to be a better somatic and cognitive observer of others.
These observation skills will help you to make higher quality interventions
and relationships with all those you interact with.
- Learn how habitual communication patterns and mindsets can lead to
predictable and debilitating perceptions, actions and relationships.
- Learn to help others shift their life-sabotaging stories, their self-defeating
communication patterns, and their ways of interpreting the world.
- Learn how to empower people to more effectively perceive opportunities,
communicate, and create solutions.
By learning to embody your total intelligence, you will also learn how
to:
- Build the relationships that lead to greater personal and organizational
success.
- Access the intuitive skills that are an essential part of high quality
strategic thinking and creativity.
- More effectively apply the whole range of managerial, coaching, and
therapeutic skills that are already an integral part of your professional
toolkit.
