[Neurons] Neuro-Semantic Workshops on Self-Actualizing

Description about the Self-Actualization Workshops

 

 

It’s all about the ultimate people-development…  And since we announce the Self-Actualization Workshops frequently, and that can create confusion --- here is a description of the 4 workshops: what’s involved in them, what you can develop through attending.

 

 

UNLEASHING POTENTIALS

The Self-Actualization Workshops

 

 

If self-actualization refers to actualizing your highest and best skills, capabilities, possibilities, and potentials, if it is being the best you so that you can be fully alive/fully human and contributing your unique gifts and if it is fully functioning as a psychologically healthy human being in all of your relationships, activities, career, habits, etc., then self-actualization describes what every person is designed for!  It is not an exclusive experience just for a select few.  It is for you!

 

If self-actualization is also refusing to die with your music and gifts still within you and if it is actively seeking to develop your talents so they become competent skills as your inner richness to give back, then it is the human adventure of growing and developing with child-like love, passion, curiosity, wonder, and learning, then self-actualization is our destiny, highest value, and identity.  It enables a human being to be at his or her very best and enjoy life fully.

 

We are all born to self-actualize.  It’s simply part of human development when we have no interferences.  But most do not.  Most people are diminished by fears, negativity, toxic thoughts, and dozens of other others.   They are leashed and limited.  They are held back from their own greatness.

 

The solution?   The Neuro-Semantic Self-Actualization Workshops!  Discover how to unleash the things diminishing you so you can release your highest values and best potentials.  There are now four of them—

1) Unleashing Vitality: Learning to truly and adequately meet you’re the drives of your inner needs and release the innate vitality that gives you the joyful energy of being fully alive.  Learn how to move up to the higher needs and how to live at the level of Peak-ing.

2) Unleashing Potentials: With vitality you can now focus on what to be unleashed from and unleashed to.  You can now enter the Construct to build great meanings, to sacrilize your meanings, and to become a robust meaning-maker.  You can enter the Crucible to melt down old meanings that have created responses that do not serve you, and you can enter the Zone for those moments of peak experiences as you enter into the genius state of flow and focus.

3) Unleashing Creative Solutions: All of this is creativity— creating your best self and facilitates your creative solutions to significant problems— thereby making you a natural entrepreneur.  Discover the four well-formed conversations at the heart of coaching leadership: outcome, problem, solution, and innovation.

4) Unleashing Leadership: If true leadership is bringing out the best in people— enabling them to find their vision, values, powers, passions, and future, then you can be a leader and you can be a self-actualizing leader leading to the development of a self-actualizing company, community, or even nation.  Discover how to do this and how to use the axes of a Self-Actualizing Leader.

UNLEASHING POTENTIAL WORKSHOP

Self-Actualization is a function of rich and robust meanings and focused performances that take your skills to new levels of excellence and expertise.  Then you can get lost in the zone of a joyful engagement.  This describes the three days of the Training— 

 

Day 1: Rising up to own your Powers of Creation

Become the meaning-maker you are.  Discover how to detect and create meaning to eliminate toxic meanings and construct exciting, enlivening, and robust meaning for your full self-actualization.  Develop a richly meaningful identity so you become meaningful to your core!

 

Day 2: Enter the Crucible of Transformation 

As a meaning-maker create your inner crucible where you can transform meanings and performances to unleash new possibilities for yourself.  Let all interferences and self-sabotage from becoming full alive/ fully human melt away in the Crucible of acceptance, love, and truth.

 

Day 3:  The Zone of Peak Experiences as a Self-Actualizer

Create your personal synthesis of your highest meanings— meanings that challenge and excite you with your skills so that you can fully perform and embody those meanings.  Doing this puts you in the zone of peak performances and peak experiences where you experience the mysterious state of “flow” or “genius.”  Awaken your inner genius so that you can enjoy all of life as a flow experience.

UNLEASHING VITALITY

Tapping Your Inner Energy Sources

to be Fully Alive/ Fully Human

 

 




∙                     Vitality— do you have it?  Would you like to?

∙                     What enables and facilitates the energy of vitality in life?

∙                     What releases the inner energy for motivation and drive in life?

 

“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.   What a man can be, he must be.  He must be true to his own nature.  This need we may call self-actualization.” 

Abraham Maslow (1970, p. 46)

 

Design of the Unleashing Vitality Workshop 

“If every human being learns to know what he lacks, learns what his fundamental desires are, learns in broad outline the symptoms that indicate the lack of satisfaction of these fundamental desires, he can consciously go about trying to make up for these lacks.  We may fairly say by this theory most human beings have within their own power greater possibility than they have realized for curing themselves of the multitude of mild maladjustments.   Love, safety, belonginginess, and respect from other people are almost panaceas for the situational disturbances...(1970, 262)

 

∙                     Know what you need to fulfill your inner drives

∙                     Move up to fully live the self-actualizing life

∙                     Unleash all of your somatic and mental energies for full vitality

∙                     To release your potentials and have more of yourself available for life

∙                     To find and experience an inspiration for living passionately

 

The purpose of Self-Actualization is to experience vitality (energy, passion) every day life in every aspect of living.  Self-actualizing peole are alive and awake to the wonder of life and relationships and challenges.  The so-called “motivation problems” that people struggle with is never about “motivation,” it is about needs, need gratifications, the meanings we give to such, and the skills we have for effectively activating our drives.

 

Day 1:  Developing Your Base — for the Vitality of a Self-Actualizing Identity

Day 2:  Seeking Your Peak — for a highly energized Meta-Life

Day 3:  Living the Vitality — of the new restlessness of actualizing your best

 

Benefits of Unleashing Potentials — Self-Actualization Workshop #1

            Find one potential and learn the processes for releasing it.

By discovering the mechanisms for being unleashed from interferences and unleashed for your highest and best, you can then continue the self-actualizing process for every other potential that clamors for expression.

Discover how you make meaning – in the Construct.

            Discover how to make holistic change for transformation— in the Crucible.

            Discover how to use the Self-Actualization Quadrants to move — into the Zone.

Primary models: the Self-Actualization Quadrants; The Construct of Neuro-Semantics; the Genius State of Meta-States.

 

Benefits of Unleashing Vitality — Self-Actualization Workshop #2

Learn to use the Self-Actualization Assessment Scale to recognize where you are and how effective you are in meeting your basic needs.

Develop your base and become well-grounded in your essential needs with the vitality to move to the higher life —the Meta-Life.

Free yourself from any and all psycho-gratifications of lower needs that keeps you stuck at the shallow life. 

Use the Self-Actualization Assessment Scale also to measure your higher self-actualization needs.

            Move into the Meta-Life — and tap into the higher energies for vitality.

            Experience the new restlessness of the self-actualizing life for a higher level of Vitality.

Primary models: the Self-Actualization Assessment Scale, the Gratification Theory of Maslow, the 7 Meta-Needs of Self-Actualization (at the Being level); the Peaking Competencies for living the Self-Actualizing life; the Growth Model of Maslow.

 

Recovering Your Real Self and Develop an Identity of Vitality

Neurosis is a failure of personal growth; a falling short of what you could have been or should have been.  You can lose your real self and become diminished.  

“The person who can’t study, or who can’t sleep, or who can’t eat many foods has been diminished as surely as the one who has been blinded.  The cognitive losses, the lost pleasures, joys, and ecstasies, the loss of competence, the inability to relax, the weakening of the will, the fear of responsibility— all these are diminutions of humanness.” (1971:32) 

 

When you are fully yourself, fully human, you will have an intrinsic vitality about living.  “The people we call ‘sick’ are the people who are not themselves,” they “have built up all sorts of neurotic defenses against being human.” (1971: 51, 51).

 

Full humanness or Diminition of Humanness

Your Base Identity or Humanness: Who you are biologically, in your body, constitutionally, in your animal urges, needs, tensions, tastes— capacities, what you’re fitted for.

Your Peak Identity or Humanness: Who you are in your highest potentials, in your highest personality development, in your self-transcendence living in the realm of being driven by the being-needs for the being-values.
