Our vision is to
increase peace, love and joy in the world.
How? Through education, because
as Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the
most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” By
teaching individuals the skills they need to transform how they feel and their behaviors,
we will empower them to return to their true selves, to “goodness.”
A professional
teacher and instructional designer with 44 years of experience , I have devoted
the past 23 years to studying why people do what they do. To me, the skills you need to change any
behavior you choose are more important than anything else we learn in our
lives. Why? Because all
self-destructive behaviors and conflicts between people are related to people’s
inability to use those skills effectively.
Through the global
reach of the Internet, nominal tuition costs, and a scholarship fund for those
in need, we intend to make this education available to the masses. Imagine the potential impact if this program
went viral … we have! We just need
funding to begin developing the online courses and get this movement started.
What About You?
Are YOU … living
your life … as YOU? Do you ever feel
disconnected from what is truly important, to YOU … like you are living somebody else’s life …
like your life is on autopilot, and the compass is broken? Do you want to return to being … YOU?
What You Will Learn
This program will
teach you practical, valuable skills you can use immediately and every day of
your life. You will learn how to:
Transform how you feel … regardless of what is happening in the world
around you
Become more peaceful, loving, joyous, happy, confident, certain …
Free yourself from habitual patterns of thought (and behavior) that
are not serving you, for example:
Ø“Whenever
my spouse says that to me I automatically get upset.”
Ø“I
always worry so much when you … “
Respond more effectively to life’s challenges
Stop relying on the excuse, “I can’t help it, that’s just who I
am.”
Why Our Educational Program Will Stand Above All Others
It is
uniquely focused on increasing goodness
in the world by helping individuals recapture their true nature.
Based
on 20+ years of research and
verification through practical application in the real world, drawing from
dozens of thought leaders and programs, you will learn the most important,
fundamental concepts and skills available for transforminghow you feel.

using state-of-the-art teaching strategies and online education
principles. Over a 70+ year history, these

Because
of our extensive experience in designing educational programs, we know feedback
from program participants is essential to creating a program of maximum
effectiveness. Therefore, we are
committed to a Perpetual Improvement
Program (PIP). This is a joint effort between our team and every program participant via their:
ØSuggestions
and comments on how to make the program better,
ØParticipation
in the learning activities because every interaction will be recorded, enabling
our design team to identify specific areas for improvement, and
ØResponses
to lesson assignments that may be selected for inclusion in an extremely rich
database of examples from which other participants can learn.
Your
experience will be individualized
based on your specific learning needs because you will:
ØLearn
at your own pace
ØGet as
much practice as you need to become proficient
ØReview as often as you like/feel necessary

why everyone who completes this program will learn the skills they need to
transform how they feel and what they do.
