Overview of the Optimal Thinking Trainer Curriculum

Part One: Personal Process

You will experience a journey of personal discovery, transformation and optimization. Although it is unrealistic to expect to be your best and think optimally all of the time (because you're human and get off track), it is in your best interest to use Optimal Thinking as often as possible. Initially, you learn how to gain instant access to your best self in any situation. You also learn three simple techniques to monitor your level of Optimal Thinking, and the key to using it consistently. We will then explore core beliefs (conscious and unconscious) that inhibit you from thinking optimally, accessing the full power of your mind, and enjoying the best of life.

When you overcome self-limiting beliefs and behaviors, you can explore new exciting options, make decisions in your best interest and achieve the best possible results. You accept and surrender what is out of your control, and optimize what is within your control. This program empowers you to maximize your personal and professional life. Powerful exercises are provided to identify and resolve unfinished projects, relationships, financial issues and anything that compromises your personal power.

Having completed the personal optimization process, you become fully established in the present. You are then able to make choices that serve your best interest. You can fully explore and identify your ultimate life purpose and create a SUPREME plan that is in your best interest. By aligning all aspects of yourself with this purpose, you create your Optimal roadmap and begin living your best life.

Part Two: Training, Consulting and Sales Skills

You acquire procedures, tools and techniques to empower others to experience their own optimization process. Using the powerful Certified Optimal Thinking Trainer strategies and your fellow participants as practice clients, you learn the processes, skills and distinctions of an Optimal Thinking Trainer. Upon successful completion of the program, you can present a 90-minute follow up meeting to Optimal Thinking Self Assessment and Optimal Thinking 360º Assessment participants . You can also deliver the full-day Optimal Thinking: The Motivator of Peak Performance seminar and develop a business that inspires superlative achievement, maintains healthful boundaries and produces optimal results. Additionally, you can sell and distribute the entire line of Optimal Thinking seminars, products and services.
