Learning methods

The program uses a range of strategies to ensure the learning is specific to the individual and incorporated to ensure long-term behaviour change. Strategies include:

• The process of reflection is used extensively throughout the program to draw out personal insights and to ensure that the material relates directly to each individual's experience.
• Dialogue and team processes to foster group learning and to build self-efficacy.
• Personal behavioural monitoring and analysis - Participants evaluate their own progress and undertake a self-monitoring program that continues throughout the training and beyond.
• Comprehensive questionnaires have been designed for this program to link the content directly to the individual’s own experiences and behaviours.
• Pre-tests and post-tests to measure the improvements in performance.
• Practical exercises, practice and feedback.
• Bio-feedback to reveal the mind-body link and the physical influences on thinking.
• Accelerated learning techniques.
• Case studies.
• A compact disk is provided to enable participants to practice and develop the skills between workshops
• Peer coaching. Participants work in teams and/or pairs to provide coaching and support both during and after the program.
