The
Programs

How you think determines how you perform

Our programs teach the proprietary A.C.T. Model©, a proven mental-control methodology that, over more than three decades, has helped already high-performing clients meet and exceed their goals. Many describe the experience as life-changing.

01

Individual Performance Program

The most intensive, individualized program we offer, assessing and developing the broad set of mental skills that support performance in challenging situations and environments.

  1. A

    Two-day assessment and coaching at our facility in Concord, NC, with comprehensive testing and evaluation culminating in the development of your personal A.C.T. Model©.

  2. B

    Follow-up coaching/mentoring focused on implementing and fine-tuning your personal performance model.

  3. C

    One year of support by phone, email, or video from the date of the initial assessment.

02

Corporate, Group and Team Program

Seminar-based training adapted to your group's time constraints and needs, delivered at your headquarters or any site your leaders designate.

  1. A

    Group seminar covering focus, imagery, the Performance Equation, conscious/unconscious mind interaction, anxiety, confidence, communication, team culture, the Seven Key Rules of the Mental Road, and an introduction to the A.C.T. Model© process. In addition, each group seminar participant completes a set of individual online questionnaires that allows us to generate a personal, confidential written profile of their mental strengths and weaknesses.

  2. B

    One-on-one consultation for key players, executives, managers, sales, and technical staff that leads to the development of a personal A.C.T. Model©. This feature is offered as an add-on program following the group seminar experience and includes 3, 6, or 12 months of follow-up support, depending on the selected program option.
