Some of the Core Lessons

Open the Lid

You will learn about some of the major architecture of your brain.  You will become familiar with the function of, and interaction between, your conscious brain (the feeling of 'you') and sub-conscious (your brain/body).  You will take the mechanics, top down, view of what is going on when you see, hear, think and feel things.

 From here you are introduced to skills and techniques to help you be more effective at managing your own mind in times of high pressure.

When dealing with events that are chock full of pressure and stress, it helps to understand how the structures in your brain, especially the nervous system operate.  

This course is based on real science. You will get none of the 'we're all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively' malarky.  Just the simple facts on how the computer in your head works, and what happens when the program crashes.

2. Lifting the fog (Perception)

You will also move from the mechanics view into the driver's seat.  In this module you will understand the wonderful process of perception.

You will learn about the barriers to seeing things as they really are.  You will learn how to notice more.  You will learn how your perception is distorted to comply with your current comfort zone, behaviours, beliefs and values and how to move to a greater level of objectivity.

When the pressure is on make sure you see what you need to see, in the way you need to see it.

3. Manage Emotion

Learn simple techniques to monitor and manage your emotions.  If you have ever felt the ironic sensation that the very thing stopping you from performing well under pressure is the fear of not performing well under pressure then you know how disruptive it can be to let emotion muddle your thinking.

You can implement simple techniques to help you maintain control of your emotions.  You remain human, and you do so like a leader; with empathy and strength, courage and sincerity.

You will learn about the powerful influence that thoughts have on your emotion and how you can ensure you stay sharp and effective.

Simply put: you will learn how to behave differently to the way you feel.

Keep the workspace clear

If you have ever experiences the mental gridlock, where you are trying to think about so much stuff that you cannot seem to think clearly about anything, then you will appreciate this section of the course.

You will learn how this occurs and specific and simple techniques for keeping your mental workbench clear, so you can remain effective.

Lead others

When people are under pressure they revert their default automatic responses.  For some people, default is throwing a tantrum, for others it is standing still like a deer in the headlights.  Learn how to lead people who are in this state.  Learn the type of language to use, how to phrase things to get the most out of your team.

It is in times of crisis, rapid change and high pressure that true leaders show their worth.  This program will teach you valuable skills and techniques to be more effective when the pressure is on.

Effective Immediately

The lessons and skills you walk away with from this course are designed for use by normal people in abnormal situations.  They are a set of skills that will make a difference to you and those around you when it matters.

They will also make an immediate difference to your leadership under normal operations.  You will come away with insights that you can make use of in all aspect of life.  You will have techniques that will help you immediately.

Make the Decision

Interestingly - making a decision reduces stress.  One cause of stress is uncertainty, making a decision - taking action - reduces uncertainty.  Often even making the wrong decision (as long as you recognise it and adjust) is better, from a stress point of view, than no decision.

So reduce uncertainty, make the right decision and REGISTER FOR THIS COURSE.
