Personal and/or Professional Development

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

An individual who hires a Personal or Professional Development Specialist (PPDS) is often at a crossroads in their life. They know that something is stirring within, and need some guidance and direction to help clarify ideas, vision and direction. People also seek out PPDSs for support, in order to take action and implement strategies that are in line with these ideas, visions and direction. Personal & Professional Development with a PPDS is a relationship that is designed and defined between a client and the Specialist. It is a custom designed strategic program that is based on the client’s expressed interests and needs.

The Power of THANKS® Professional & Personal Development program utilizes a thorough assessment guide to help our clients identify personal & professional goals as well as the obstacles and challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve those goals.  Once there is a clear understanding of the client’s needs, we work jointly in the development of strategies to develop an action plan that will be utilized to achieve those objectives. The Power of THANKS® Development Program provides a safe arena for clients to explore and challenge themselves in order to achieve desired outcomes. The outcome is new found personal empowerment, enjoyment, enthusiasm, purpose, & meaning, both personally and professionally.

The following list reveals just a few of the many benefits that arise out of our Personal & Professional Development Program:

  • Empowering you to always move forward
  • Discovering and acknowledging your best talents
  • Developing the courage to express yourself through Trustworthiness, Honesty, Amends, Neutrality, Kindness, Surrender & Gratitude (THANKS®)
  • Defining your passion & purpose with the tools and skills to get you there
  • Responding to life’s daily challenges as opportunities to grow, expand and create
  • Learning to de-stress and maintain focus by living in the “NOW”
  • Learning to truly know yourself, your surroundings and the people you’re with every day

The Power of THANKS® Class

Monday, May 24th, 2010

This course is designed to support individuals & companies in their pursuit of personal empowerment, enjoyment, enthusiasm, purpose & meaning, both personally and professionally through the practice and living of a principled base life called The Power of THANKS®. This class is an 8 week program that meets weekly for 2 hours.

Bob Sugar, PPDS and Brad Stevenson, MBA, PPDS are both the founders, creators and facilitators of the Power of THANKS® program. They teach companies, groups, classes and individuals how to work with and implement the 7 THANKS® principles (Trustworthiness, Honesty, Amends, Neutrality, Kindness, Surrender, Gratitude) into daily life. Participants uncover and discover the multitude of gifts and miraculous pleasures that dwell deep within. As the saying goes “There is only one problem and the problem is me”. This journey takes students through many layers of self truth creating a myriad of opportunities to let go of erroneous beliefs. As they travel through the exercises presented throughout this course, they discover or rediscover that all of the joy and happiness possessed is already within. Doing the footwork in order to gain the great benefits that these teachings offer is supported and inspired by Bob & Brad as well as the students themselves.

As participant’s turn their eyeballs within over the course of eight weeks, they unload unnecessary baggage that “weighs them down”, offering many opportunities to make significant behavioral changes. In turn, there are remarkable rewards of joyful and empowered living.

True happiness is only found from within, and this program will challenge the myth that drives most people to believe that happiness is found externally through chasing after “more” or the next “fix”. At the end of each class students are given the opportunity to implement a variety of exercises throughout the week that are congruent with the lessons taught in class each week.

There are endless benefits that are attainable for those who embrace The Power of THANKS® program. Those who have participated report a greater understanding of themselves and others. This understanding translates into greater personal empowerment, authentic happiness and joy, reduced levels of stress and anxiety, increased productivity at work, improved communication with partner, family, friends, and co-workers, and greater clarity of mind, just to name a few. It offers the ability to regulate and dissipate fear as well as increase levels of self acceptance.

Companies:

The Power of THANKS® for companies, has infused its principles with the new emerging Megatrend, Conscious Capitalism. Conscious Capitalism recognizes the indispensable need for organizations to work together to develop a culture that supports a creative means towards profitability, passion, meaning & purpose for companies of all sizes. Through the use of the THANKS® principles companies have found that their communication has become increasingly effective at all levels. Productivity and creativity has increased dramatically by minimizing Chaos, Drama & Gossip which infiltrates into the workplace.

Come join us on this amazing passage into a world of endless possibility.

Pathfinders

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

As a man in our culture you have probably found that there are certain expectations that come with the territory. Some of these expectations are imposed upon us and others, we impose on ourselves. Men often feel very isolated and alone and find that they don’t have male friendships that allow them to share from the heart and talk about the good, the bad and the ugly.

Pathfinders’ is a growing group of men who each have a story to tell. We are men who share openly and honestly in groups as a way of getting and giving support to one another.

Below is a list of some of the benefits that current Pathfinder men find when they take the opportunity to gather.

  1. A sense of belonging to and feeling accepted by a group of men that really care about one another.
  2. Stimulating communication with men who are willing to be honest with themselves and each other.
  3. The opportunity to learn more about what it means to be a man in the 21st Century when many of the traditional values and views of being a man aren’t working.
  4. Learning to pay more attention to how you personally “think and feel” regarding what’s right for you vs. what others think is right for you.
  5. A place where you can feel safe to express yourself honestly and try out new ways of relating to others.
  6. A place where you can create new visions and directions for your life.
  7. An opportunity to change patterns in your life that aren’t working.
  8. A chance to learn how you come across to other men.
  9. An opportunity to develop close, supportive friendships with other men.
  10. Learning to have fun spending time with male friends.

If you want to share your story and begin to write new chapters for your life, call or contact us below to learn more about the Pathfinders Men’s Organization. Each group is limited to 8 men maximum. We look forward to learning who you are as a man and what we can do to support your journey.
