Title of talk:

Perception for self effectiveness by Leon Paterson

 

Bullet points of what you would like to talk about:

People spend more time learning how to work their mobile phones than how to work their minds. We obsess about how we appear to others. But how much time do you spend investing in how you think, how you understand yourself and develop your emotions. There has never been a time in history where your ability to learn quickly and adapt to fit a changing environment has been so necessary.
So before you decide if this event’s for you. Ask yourself honestly – could I do with an update so I’m the most effective version of myself?
 
On this meetup you will learn

• How to apply a sequence of change to any situation
• A model of analysis for improved understanding of self and others
• A range of thinking tools for managing challenges and difficulties
• The building blocks of experience – how we create our reality
• Enhanced perception skills – 6 different ways of creating memories and imagination
• Connect with a sense of whole self that transcends any single moment

A few paragraphs on your subject:

During this month’s event we will develop ways of making ourselves more effective and self aware in everyday situations.
Most psychology techniques and applications lack the ability to be effective because they are obsessed with dysfunctional behaviour. Their research focuses on behaviour which is below standard. Behavioural modelling is also committed to helping people remedially, but also developmentally. We now have the tools to model (recreate) exemplars of excellence. The behaviour of great thinkers, outstanding leaders and enlightened masters can now be modelled so we can help anyone achieve the same results!!!
