SELF-ACTUALIZATION TRAINING

 

Are you ready for training in actualizing (making real) yourself and your
potentials?  Are you aware that this is precisely what you and all of us are
made for?  And are you aware that this is what ultimately will make you
"happy?"  And that this is what allows you to fully blossom and come alive
to life's richness and possibilities?  If so, then this may be the year that
you begin your own self-actualizing journey and to Seek the Peak of your
potentials.

 

The Neuro-Semantic Discovery of Self-Actualization

And Creation of the Seeking the Peak Trainings

A number of years ago I stumbled upon a discovery that truly surprised me.
Maybe surprise is not the right word, perhaps shock would be more accurate.
I was surprisingly shocked when I discovered who was actually involved at
Esalen during the first Human Potential Movement (HPM).  And who was there? 

Why the very who's who of NLP- Gregory Bateson, Fritz Perl, and Virginia
Satir!

 

Yet there's more.  They were not only at the heart of the first HPM, and the
first persons at Esalen which was created to launch the movement and to be
the Think Tank of the movement, but they were second or third generation
leaders of the Human Potential Movement.

 

That was shocking enough- the very persons modeled by Bandler and Grinder to
create the NLP Communication Model were leaders of the first HPM.  But the
next shock surprised me even further.  As I looked into the presuppositions
of NLP, the presuppositions that came from Bateson, Perls, and Satir, I
discovered that they did not come from them, they came through them.  They
came from Maslow and Rogers and the other original thinkers of the HPM.  How
about that!

 

Digging deeper and deeper into all of this by re-reading and reading afresh
the original works of the HPM leaders, another surprise emerged.  I had
always thought that the first real modeling of people of excellence began
with the NLP Modeling of Fritz and Satir and Erickson.  Wrong again.

Forty-five years before that modeling, and before either Bandler or Grinder
were born (!), Maslow had launched his modeling of self-actualizing people.
He started with Max Wertheimer (co-founder of Gestalt Psychology) and Ruth
Benedict (mentor to Margaret Mead, wife of Gregory Bateson, founder of
Cultural Anthropology).

 

Neuro-Semantics' Self-Actualization Training

After I made those discoveries from 2004 to 2007, I launched the first
Self-Actualization training and began training Neuro-Semantic Trainers for
training it.  In the years that followed, three more trainings were
developed.  By 2010 there were 4 workshops.  Then at the end of 2012 we put
all of them together to create a Diploma in Self-Actualization Psychology.
That training occurred just recently in Hong Kong under the sponsorship of
Mandy Chai and APTI (Asia Professional Training Institute) and was a
tremendous success.

 

Yet that is just the beginning.  Among the 22 Trainers at that training,
many of them are planning to run one or more of the modules and some will
eventually be training all four for the Neuro-Semantic Diploma.  So now,
there is a very specific process whereby you can be trained in
Self-Actualization!  What are the four modules?

            Module 1:        Unleashing Personal Vitality               -
Energy to Live Fully

            Module 2:        Unleashing Personal Potentials          - Alive
to your Uniqueness

            Module 3:        Unleashing Creativity                         -
Creative Problem-Solving

            Module 4:        Unleashing Leadership                       -
Bringing out the Best in Others

                        

Here is the content of Seeking the Peak Trainings that you will be hearing
about and seeing as modules that many Neuro-Semantic Trainers will be
conducting this year and in the coming years.  The numbers indicate the
theme of the 3-day modules, these are shorted in the full 8 day program to
two-days each.

Module I: Unleashing Vitality

   Your Highest & Best Energy for being Fully Alive / Fully Human

   Energies for becoming Alive for the Higher Life: Discover your Real Self.

1: Developing Your Base - for Vitality in Self-Actualizing.

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

3: Living the Vitality - for the Eyes of the self-actualizing life.

 

Module II: Unleashing Potentials

   Your Highest & Best Meaningful Performances: How to Actualize Your
Highest and Best




1: The Construct: Meaning, Meaning-construction.

2: The Crucible: Transformation of old Meanings that diminish you.

3: The Zone: In the Zone of Peak Experiences.

                

Module III: Unleashing Creative Solutions

   Creativity for well-formed Coaching Conversations for Creative
Problem-Solving.

1: Well-formed Outcome -  designing a compelling future.

2: Well-formed Problem -   defining the interferences and challenges.

3: Well-formed Solution -   creatively resolving the problems.

4: Well-formed Innovation -actualizing it in the real world.

 

Module IV: Unleashing Leadership

   Self-Actualizing Leaders and Companies for Peak Performance Organizations

1: The New Leadership: Self-Actualizing Leaders who bring out the best in
others.

2: Your Self-Actualizing Leadership Matrix for being an authentic leader.

3: Leading a Seeking-the-Peak Self-Actualizing Company with 3 bottom-lines.

 

This is just the beginning of our focus on enabling people to actualize
their highest visions into their best performances.  In this new year,
myself and many of the other Neuro-Semantic Trainers will be presenting one
or more (or all) of these Self-Actualization Training Modules.  The next
time that the whole series, the Seeking the Peak series will be presented
will be in May in Rio de Janiero, Brazil (May 25 to 31 and June 1-3).  If
