The most popular modules
Although each process is different, depending on the needs of the client, we thought it might be useful to show you a fairly typical process. There are over 60 modules to choose from but most clients select 10 to 12 modules from the following 15 most popular modules:
Module 1. Understanding ourselves and others, based on Herrmann's Thinking Preferences
Content includes:
- Improve the understanding that people are fundamentally different from one another and that if we treat everyone the same we will get luke-warm results
- Help people understand their uniquely important talents so they can use these more often and become far more successful
- Help people identify the uniquely important talents in others so they can use these and build teams of different skill types that make a more powerful whole
- Improve communicating with different thinking types because each one has a preferred way of communicating
- Improve our ability for getting the most out of each type of person by appealing to their set of drivers.
Why this is important
People are different, treat them the same and you will get lukewarm results. Treat them special and you'll get magic.
Module 2. The Power of the Subconscious Mind
The subconscious works in ways that are poorly understood. The subconscious mind is the controller of our body; it has direct control of all physical and emotional reactions. The subconscious is driven by images(pictures) that we hold of ourselves and other people. We need to understand this process because we will never be more successful than the pictures we have.
Content includes:
- How the subconscious works
- The power of self-talk
- Accessing the power of the subconscious
- How to stop sabotaging ourselves.
Why this is important
We will never be more successful than the picture we have of ourselves. This module shows how to make your pictures strong.
Module 3. Discover Your Genius
We all have a genius factor. Most of us don't know what it is, therefore we don't use it very often. When we understand it and use it more often and deliberately, we become multiples more effective.
I define genius as some combination of character, abilities, purpose, talents and passion that you may possess that may only occur in one other person in ten thousand (possibly even unique to you). It is something that makes you really special and allows you to add value to the world in ways almost no one else can.
When people understand and use their genius factor the sky is their limit.
The process I use helps you:
- Identify your genius factor
- Understand how to use it more effectively
- Build your career towards using your genius.
Why this is important
Probably the most important thing anyone can do is to identify and use their genius factor more often. The next most important thing is to help others see theirs.
Module 4. Irresistible leadership
Today everyone needs to be a leader, not just the people at the top.
Content includes:
- What irresistible leaders do
- Drawing out the strengths in others
- Your greatest leadership accomplishment.
- Research that identifies the one important distinction between good managers and others
- The 12 core elements needed to attract, focus and keep the most talented employees
Why this is important
When we say leadership we mean the ability to get things done through other people. This will show that every person has already been a leader at some time in their life. It will show the surprisingly simple things that irresistible leaders do that makes such a difference.
Module 5. The Power of Questions
Peer-to-peer development is one of the 20 "breakthrough Ideas" of the Year according to the HBR.
By far the most obvious difference in peer-to-peer learning, is its insistence on questioning and gaining consensus about what the problem is. Questions are one of the most powerful but least used tools in business today.
Participants will be asked to bring a problem to the meeting. The other members give close attention to the problem-holder but will not solve the problem even if the answer is obvious. Rather, they ask open questions and dig deep to enable the problem-holder to get a deeper understanding of his/her problem.
Content includes:
- Discover your preferred questioning response
- Practice the use of asking powerful questions
- Understand how to learn from your peers at a far deeper level.
- It builds life-skills in asking questions and challenging people in a positive way
- Interestingly most people learn from everyone else's issues as well as their own.
Why this is important
Questions force the group to spend time on understanding the problem and its context and conditions. Most individuals and groups rush to search for the answers. This is natural because most people are uncomfortable with spending too much time in ambiguity. The original problem is rarely the one that is most crucial. Groups that accept the initial problem often end up solving the surface problem. The group's first and primary task is to understand the problem. As some wag said: "It's better to first put your finger on the problem before sticking your nose in it."
Module 6. How to manage your manager
This module shows participants how to manage their manager. Many people feel disempowered by their manager. Even very senior people have bosses (Boards etc.) and sometimes feel this way, indeed in my experience it happens across the organisation - Tops, Middles and Bottoms. Usually it happens, not because of what the boss does, but because people look at their boss in the wrong way. They look at their boss as "someone who should look after me" instead of "someone who I should look after".
But you can get whatever you want if you package it so the boss gets stronger.
Content includes:
- Interviewing your boss.
- Understand your boss - what they are good at, what they hate, what pressures they face.
- Understand how you can use your boss's strengths and help them cover their weaknesses.
- Take control of your career, never again allow it to be in the hands of someone else.
Why this is important
Most of us view our relationship with our boss in exactly the wrong way. As a result we give up control, become weak and the boss hates it too.
Module 7. Cooperation, Collaboration and Connectedness
Cooperation is replacing competition and relationships are replacing hierarchy as the dominant organising principles. Your success depends largely on understanding this and being comfortable working this way
Content includes:

Content includes:
- Secrets most managers don't know
- How to develop a positive attitude
- Four ways to enhance your success
- Seven laws of personal growth

Why this is important
All humans have a need for confidence. We are attracted to it without even knowing why. When a person's confidence is like a magnet we call them powerful. And we can't help but follow.

Module 14: Smart Room Exercise - a conversation game
This is a game to encourage conversations with more connection, depth and meaning.
This module will introduce a game called Smart Room that is designed to get participants understanding their purpose and long term goals.

Content includes:

- What we are hard-wired for

Why this is important

This applies to human networks as shown by the 6 degrees of separation. The rules that govern better networks and relationships have recently been codified. Most people do not know about this and therefore miss out on a powerful new way of working.

Content includes:
- Tools to see connections
