Give your brain the information it needs, and you can be blown away by what it can figure out for you. And if that information is coming from the DolphinThink® Workbook and its supporting self assessments, well, that’s the best of all possible worlds to prepare you for where you need to go next.
This powerful array of self-discovery methods takes key insights from the renowned dolphin strategy and enlists them to work in your behalf. These self-inquiry techniques and approaches have been highly praised for inspiring their readers to produce the new outcomes they need in a rapid-change world. How? By showing them how to discover and mobilize the totality that they are (how they organize themselves). And what to do with it next (how they respond to the complicated world around them).
These are some of the ways that DolphinThink can make all the difference in your results and satisfaction:
Uses 31 principles to look at who you are from an amazing variety of perspectives, some of which have probably never occurred to you.
* Helps you perform diagnostic "triage" on your current world-view aimed at ferreting out ways that your current beliefs may be sabotaging your change efforts.
* Helps you answer: What am I alive to do? And what’s my natural “edge” in terms of what the world needs most from me now?
* Guides you in creating a vision for the future and then tests this vision for realism and viability.
* Teaches the importance of getting you focused ruthlessly on "the critical 20%" of the activities, resources and initiatives best suited for getting you where you want to go.
* Helps you grow comfortable with the idea that you may need to make truly radical personal changes to get where you are aiming.
* Puts you through a crash course in recognizing obstacles that your mind may erect against change and coaches you on how to deal with these roadblocks.
* Guides you through the Breakthrough Thinking process for making radical discoveries and shifts in your life and career realities.
* Shows you a powerful alternative to traveling the Grief and Recovery Cycle when you let go of the past.
* Briefs you on how others can be expected to react to significant personal change in you and shows you how to persuade others that it is okay for you to change,
* Provides strategies and techniques for helping others make the changes they need to upgrade their own thinking skills.
* Double-checks your ability to use the Dolphin Strategy—to see the world through a world-view that is the most gifted so far at finding and mobilizing the next right, smart good thing.
