Overview
If your choice is to be Great then this is the programme for you.
We are constantly evolving psychologically, socially, philosophically and physically but we rarely pause to consider what has contributed to us making the decisions we do and how we can change our focus to improve who we are as an individual. There are often major triggers that challenge us and develop new skills such as a promotion, a new relationship or our own self-awareness. This programme draws on the core fields of philosophy, contemporary psychology and neuroscience to take you on a practical, goal directed journey to identify what makes you ‘you’, to define your aspirations and set a path to achieving them.
The programme has five phases and recognises that our thinking affects how we feel. These feelings in turn can influence the decisions and actions we take. Fundamental beliefs about ourself need to be understood in order to set the right goals, identify and leverage our strengths and also to become mindful of our weaknesses and how these can be improved.
‘What makes a Good Man Great?’ is the central question this programme challenges you to address, and provides you with the tools to define your path to greatness – personally and professionally.
