FINALLY, THE PSYCHOLOGY

OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION!

 

 

Yes, finally we have put together a sequence of trainings that captures the
heart and soul of "self-actualization" and especially how you can apply it
to yourself and your life situation.  It equally applies to change agents
like Coaches, Trainers, Consultants, Therapists, Leaders, Managers, Human
Resource people and so on for using Self-Actualization Psychology to inform
and guide their efforts at transformation.

 

What is this psychology and how do you use it?  It is the psychology of
people who have developed "normally" through the life-stages, are "okay" in
themselves, living in the present (rather than the past), with the
ego-strength to face life on its own terms, and ready for a challenge.
Other psychologies focus on many other aspects of life such as therapy,
childhood, career, organizations, education and learning, leadership and
management, influence, communication, etc.

 

Self-Actualization Psychology grew from Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers'
original work in the "third force" of psychology that culminated in the
Positive Psychology or Humanistic Psychology of the first Human Potential
Movement.  And what was the trigger that set it off?  Maslow's discovery of
some specimens of "good humans" that discombobulated him and got him wonder:


"What's the healthy side of human nature?  What is the highest level of
development possible for humans?  How great can people become?"

 

Using this psychology and recognizing the history of the first Human
Potential Movement as the ground and context for the development of NLP (see
Self-Actualization Psychology), in Neuro-Semantics we have been developing
this.  In 2007 we launched the New Human Potential Movement with the first
Self-Actualization Workshop.  Since then that workshop has been delivered in
two dozen countries many, many times and three additional workshops have
been created and delivered scores of times.  And now for the very first time
we are putting it all together into a single intense training.

 

We are calling the training - Seeking the Peak of Human Potential or Human
Potential Peaks.  The first presentation will be this November in Hong Kong
and the second presentation in May in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.

 

 

Now when you seek the peak of your possibilities all kinds of wonderful
things happen:

          New levels of energy and vitality.

          A strong sense of purpose and passion in life.

          The personal power and credibility of congruence.

          Enjoyment of everyday life.


          Peak experiences in your relationships.

          Creativity for effective problem-solving.

          Feeling in charge of your life and your choices.

 

Does any of that interest you?  My bet is that it does.  Why do I bet that
it does?  Because according to the originators of Self-Actualization
Psychology, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, you were made with an inner
drive for actualizing your highest visions and values and transforming them
into your very best performances.  And that, of course, is what
Neuro-Semantics is all about- actualizing your excellence.

 

Now if that's true, then the biggest danger you face is this: Selling
yourself short!  It is failing to recognize your possibilities and
potentials, your uniqueness and greatness.  It is to settle for a mediocre
life and to miss the joy, the challenge, the passion, the love, and all of
the being-values that make life so special.

 

By now I hope you are more than just interested, I hope you are fascinated
by the possibilities that all of this brings up.  After all, life is not
about "getting by" and "surviving," it is about thriving and creativity and
joy and love and contribution and making a difference and continually
learning and developing.  The psychology that informs and governs how to
live life more fully, more humanly after you get over all of the hurts and
traumas is Self-Actualization Psychology.  It is a psychology that enables
you to Seek the Peak in being Authentically You.

 

If you are still reading and feeling increasingly captivated then you will
probably be delighted to know this focus is the heart and soul of
Neuro-Semantics.  It is also the subject of a whole series of trainings that
are designed to facilitate and empower you to step up to the Real You- the
Authentic You.

 

The Human Potential Peaks series

 

Day 1: Self-Actualization Psychology

A psychology of the vision of the incredible potentials within human beings.
A description of people operating at their best (self-actualizing their
potentials) and seeking the peak of their highest drives and values.  In
this opening introduction, you will learn about the numerous models in
Neuro-Semantics that allows you to fully experience your authentic self and
seek the human potential peaks.

 

Days 2-3: The Peak of Vitality

First, discover your biological self and how to effectively master your
driving "needs."  Doing this releases lots of energy and vitality so you can
move to the level of being your authentic self.  Release yourself from being
stuck at a lower level need.  Learn how to use the Hierarchy of Needs via
the Self-Actualization Assessment Scale as you seek the peak of your highest
drives where you can be fully alive/ fully human.

 

Days 4-5: The Peak of Unleashing Potentials

Discover your most unique human drive (making-meaning) and your innate
powers for becoming the author of your life, the architect of your future.
Enter into your Meaning-Making Construct to clear out every non-enhancing
meaning as you develop a high level of meaningfulness.  Create your own
crucible of authenticity so that you can change old meanings with ease and
grace.

 

Days 6-7: The Peak of Creativity

After creating your best authentic self, it's time to create solutions to
all kinds of other problems-problems that people need solving and that adds
value thereby creating wealth for yourself and others.  Experience the
creativity of identifying and solving problems as you seek the peak of
creative innovations.

 

Days 8-9: The Peak of Leadership

First there is self-leadership, bringing out the best in yourself, then
there is self-actualizing leadership- bringing out the best in others.  By
seeking the peak of actualizing your own best potentials and
authenticity-imagine the kind and quality of relationships, families,
businesses, companies, corporations, organizations, and governments that you
can create!

 

Day 10: Using Human Potential Peaks for Coaching and Training

Day 10 is an Insider's Guide for using Self-Actualization Psychology for
Neuro-Semantic Trainers and Meta-Coaches-preparing them for how to teach and
certify the Seeking the Peak series as well as how to use the unleashing of
potentials methods as a transformational coach with individuals and groups.

 

Human Potential Peaks Certificate

A Certificate indicating completion of the four modules of the
Self-Actualization workshops as you have learned how to unleash your
vitality, potentials, creativity, and leadership.  The Peaks Certificate
indicates that you have learned the fundamentals of the Neuro-Semantics of
meaning-making, meta-stating, and transformation.

 

Self-Actualization Psychology Diploma

An ISNS Diploma indicating that you have completed the HPP along with NLP
Practitioner training and Introduction to Meta-States (APG) as well as a
self-assessment on the seven core competencies for actualizing your highest
and best.

 

 

Competencies and Benchmarks

You may be wondering.  Have we identified the core competencies of
self-actualization and have we benchmarked those competencies?  And the
answer is "yes we have."  When it comes to actualizing (making real in
everyday life) your highest values, visions, and meanings so that they show
up in your best performances (skills, competencies, activities), there are 7
core competencies to develop.  These are the prerequisite skills for
actualizing your highest and best.  While there are other skills that enable
self-actualization, these are the foundational skills first to learn and
master.
