What is the ACT Course?
We created the ACT Personal Development Strategy and the ACT course as a result of our passion for helping people reach their potential. We have harvested what is good in the world of personal development and packaged it into a simple to follow process. Anyone with a genuine desire for change can easily apply this process and make things happen!
The ACT Course is for you if you want to learn and apply powerful tools to develop your vision, overcome limitations and achieve your goals, helping you truly live the life you want.
The ACT course brings together a wealth of tools, techniques and models we have collected through decades of studying all aspects of personal development including NLP, Positive Psychology, Sedona Method, hypnotherapy and coaching. We have combined the best bits of all of these approaches to create a step-by-step process that really works. How do we know it works? Because we have thoroughly road-tested it on ourselves and have already used the model with many students and clients.
In order to make the course as accessible as possible we have developed a variety of formats. Whichever format you choose, the course has been carefully crafted to follow the natural cycle of goal setting and achievement. The purpose of this course is to really make you conscious of the process and to give you a solid blueprint for success in the future – one that you can even teach to others.
This is a course which is highly ACTion orientated – we encourage you work on a real goal for the duration of the course so that you can practically apply your learning and collect evidence that the process really does work!

Course Content
Here is an outline of the themes we explore in each module. Whichever format you choose, we will share with you some key principles and then encourage you to apply these new ideas to your own personal goals.
Using the Wheel of Life we will “take a step back” and review what is going well, and what we might like to change or develop. We will establish a benchmark against which progress can be measured and introduce tools and techniques for creating a compelling vision
We have the vision, now we will focus on the steps to get there. We will share a model for setting goals in a way that maximises your chances of success by making it really compelling and developing your motivation to take ACTion.
What impact is your emotional state having on your ability to achieve your goals or make the changes you want to make? Would you like to have more control? we will look at simple techniques for generating positive states such as confidence and resourcefulness.
what are the stories you tell yourself? What language do you use when you think about your goals? How can you develop a positive internal dialogue to keep you on the right track?
This week we will take stock and introduce a powerful model for reviewing what additional resources you need. We will focus on developing resilience and a growth mindset as well as examining the beliefs you have around your vision and your goals. We will share methods for transforming limiting beliefs into positive messages.
Often, after the initial flurry of action, motivation can start to wane – this is when understanding what motivates us, and what doesn’t can really help. It is also important to appreciate that we are all different – why one person’s motivator may be another person’s de-motivator. The key here is in understanding yourself and developing strategies that work for you.
Finally, it’s always good to pause, reflect and celebrate the distance already travelled. We will review progress, celebrate success and start to plan (and commit to) next steps.
