Here are some of the “lessons” we cover in the course:

Goal Setting and Goal Achievement: How to get clear on exactly what you want. This can be frightening for some people, as they do not want to face up to what they REALLY want, fearing they may never get it. Our relaxed, positive atmosphere encourages people to take those steps.

Barrier Identification: Some people have a legitimate right to be skeptical about achieving their goals. More than just challenged, they are either blocked from taking action or following through on their plans.

Barrier De-energizing: Once a person’s barriers are identified, it becomes a matter of using some tools to remove them from their path. This can involve a variety of tools, including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and others.

Time Management: Participants learn how to prioritize, schedule, avoid interruptions, delegate, and make more time available during the day. They also learn how to get more brain power going to avoid mistakes and create new solutions to old problems. We’ve got a few new twists on this otherwise overdone topic.

Visualization Training:  More than ever, the difference between success and burn-out is the ability to vividly imagine what you desire. In sports, medicine and business, it is well documented that the ability to SEE the outcome is essential. We train our clients to develop those skills to a higher degree than previously possible for most people.

Self-Talk: Many people understand that computers are worthless without good programming. The human brain is no different. Without proper guidance, this fabulous organic mechanism might as well be used as a paper weight.

Stress Reduction: Although having well-defined personal goals energizes the person, old patterns can still cause feelings of worry and doubt. Such stresses reduce energy and focus, leading to non-productive behaviors. We have powerful tools to quickly reverse those situations.

Quality of Thought:  We provide various materials and exercises that explain the nature of why things happen the way they do. Through these models, participants understand why things have gone awry in the past, and how to avoid those traps in the future. We also provide sources for specific enhancement of creativity, prosperity, relaxation, recreation and more.

Relationship Building: At some point, everyone needs to interact with fellow humans. We have tools and techniques for enhancing the quality of those interactions.

Health: While lowering stress can certainly lead to a healthier body, we can also provide simple, powerful techniques for enhancing general health. We have also seen impressive improvement in specific ailments, though the evidence is primarily anecdotal and such matters are not our prime area of expertise.

Performance Enhancement: Some of our tools are also very potent for specific physical performance, such as sports. We’ve had our share of winners and record breakers using these techniques to outperform themselves and others.

This a multi-week course. It can vary in length from 8 to 12 sessions. We can meet weekly at first, then move to every two weeks, then monthly. Or any combination, depending on schedules and holidays. There are lot of valuable tools here, and people need time to absorb and use them.

 

“In using End-of-the-Movie and other tools, I am more relaxed and focused preparing for, and delivering presentations. I have used equivalent “magic card” techniques, but the card always being with you makes the review of the goals a more reinforced impression for the mind.

My future is glowing, and now should have a brighter light shining on it. Ron is fantastic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and experienced! There was much new material, some I have received in other forms, although the delivery in this forum is more personal and effective. I have extended to my staff the impression to take the course, with some examples. I cannot make this a requirement, but a strong, successful suggestion. I plan to work the tools with my wife, who will be fun to work with. When something works, and she sees it work, she is impossible to keep from using it!” –Dick Porter, Senior Production Manager

Ron,
“What can I say? This course has changed my life. I was just sort of stumbling along before. Now I have direction and I know that I’m making progress. Things are happening that can’t even be imagined any other way. The difference in my attitude and confidence is hard to express.
     I can sit back and actually say that I’m happy. My relationships have improved and I have the knowledge that whatever happens I can deal with it. And even learn from it. Being able to see the world this way has been a real eye-opener. Thank you for revealing it in a way that made sense and didn’t overload or overwhelm us. I have to admit that if I gotten it all at once, I probably would have rejected it. That would have been a small tragedy.
     Tell people that they are running an obstacle course in the dark. It’s a great analogy. Just make sure you keep turning on the light!”

Thanks again,

Robert B.

Ron,
     “Thank you for working with my group. The skills you taught helped us pull off a small miracle that saved the company a major client worth 21% of our business.
     There were 13 teams working on the solution, and we had the fewest people and the least amount of technical expertise. Against the odds, we were not only the one team that came up with a viable solution, but we did it two weeks ahead of the deadline!
     I wanted to let you know that everyone agrees that your efforts truly made a difference.”

Thank you again,
Gary R.

“You sure named the course correctly- “Wow!” That’s how I feel. I come out of this class invigorated and ready to meet life head on with that “I know I can do it” attitude. You’re an excellent coach. Very motivating. We’ve already told other people about this class. Thank you- very inspiring.”
–K. Derksen, Failure Analysis Engineer, Xilinx Corp.

“With the help of the magic cards, I started to get things done that would otherwise be postponed days after days. I started to believe things are achievable with the thought of End-of-the-Movie always in mind. I am enlightened by every single idea that Ron taught in the class. And I really enjoyed the course! Every concept I learned here has opened up my mind. Thanks Ron!” –A. Wong, CAD Engineer

“The class was a bright spot in my week. While I have trouble carving out time to do the exercises, I did use some of the tools to my benefit. Life seems more positive and less stressful. My future is more open and bigger. My goal coach was very good, but I would like to have more one on one time. 80% of the information was new to me. During the class I lost 15 pounds- ah the treasure map.”
–John Weiskittel, Senior Manager Business Development, Xilinx Corp.
