GAP It!
The Goal Achievement Process
Purposes: Learn a process to achieve goals. Understand the importance of each step of the process. Increase personal and organizational productivity and performance. Provide direction and purpose in life.
Value and Outcomes: Almost everyone knows or has heard of the importance of setting goals. Yet, few people know the steps one must take to have their goals achieved. This program takes people or organizations through a specific, time-tested process of Goal Achievement. Following the process will dramatically enhance the likelihood your goals will be accomplished.
What Clients Say:
“Excellent session-gave much for food for thought!”
Description: In this power-filled program, people learn how goals are set and achieved. They work through a six-step process of identifying goals, writing them down in a specific format, using the mind to create a mental picture, checking for believability, designing action plans, and expending the effort necessary to reach their goals.
Components: The six components of the GAP process are based on researched answers to the following questions:
- How do you determine the goal areas you want to achieve?
- How do you write a goal statement correctly?
- What are the critical components of a mental picture of your goal?
- What is the “believability” check?
- How does an action plan work?
- What is the “threeP” method of achieving goals?
Ideally suited for: Two-hour presentation or breakout session.
REASONS, NOT EXCUSES, PRODUCE RESULT
Attribution Theory and the Workplace
What Clients Say:
“The very best training I have ever had!”
“Fantastic, professional experience”
“The best training I have had in years! It explained a lot of things and gave me insight into why some things work and some don’t.”
Purposes: Attribution Theory is concerned with our constant search for the causes of our successes and our failures. We need to understand the human need to explain why things happen in order to gain predictability and control. If we find out why we were successful, we may be able to repeat that success. More important, perhaps, if we determine what caused our failure, we may avoid it in the future. We need to understand the value of a strong internal locus of control. We want to engage in ‘coyote thinking’.
Value and Outcomes: Supervisors and managers will be able to guide employees toward a stronger internal locus of control. If we attribute success or failure to internal locus, we are the originators of what happens, rather than pawns controlled by outside forces. As an originator, a person feels proactive rather than reactive to the environment. Attribution of success to internal locus (ability/effort) results in increased self-empowerment.
Description: One of the most amazing features of human beings is this: They can explain anything. No matter the cause, we have a strong need to understand and explain what is going on in our world. Because people must explain, it opens up some interesting inference possibilities. Think about it for a minute. If you can affect how people understand and explain what is going on, you can be a positive influence!
Components: Participants will be able to understand the three continuums of causality:
- Locus
- Stability
- Controllability
We’ll examine the four factors our culture uses to attribute success and failure:
- Effort
- Task difficulty
- Native ability
- Luck
We’ll learn and understand the “Coyote System of Control Theory” and its importance in the workplace.
Ideally suited for: Breakout session or half-day program.
NOW THAT’S USING YOUR HEAD!
Creating Brain-Compatible Workplaces
What Clients Say:
“He is so informative, yet down-to-earth, nuts and bolts type of info-love it when you can take info back and use it the very next day."
“I enjoyed the training very much. It is always a good sign to me when time passes quickly, and although I am tired due to the amount of info received, I am anxious to hear more from him.”

Value and Outcomes: If we want to get the best out of ourselves and others, it’s imperative we know how the brain functions best. We need to minimize fear and maximize dignity. We need to send and receive communications effectively. We need to upload rather than download brain functions. You will see increases in productivity, performance, attitudes, and the will employees bring to the job.

This ground-breaking training gives participants the knowledge, skills, practice and coaching necessary
to dramatically change attitudes and practices in the workplace. Why put up with mediocre results, negative attitudes, incorrect beliefs, and poor performance when you can generate excellent results, positive attitudes, strong beliefs, and high performance?
Components: The learning experience translates brain research into effective workplace practices. The major elements of the program are:
- A brief history of the brain and assumptions of how it works and learns
- An overview of the brain and how it learns
- Implications of this research for the workplace
- A new look at how the brain receives and processes communication
- Implications of this research for the workplace
- Creating a brain-compatible working environment
- The importance of Programs in the brain
- The importance of Patterns in the brain
- The six strategies to get the most out of your employees.
Ideally suited for: Half-day program with follow-up.
