All our work is underpinned by five important ideas:
Our programmes remain embedded in the NOW. Active works on the principle, that wherever and whenever you squeeze an orange, you get orange juice. The same is true for people. What we see by way of thinking strategies, communication skills, engagement with colleagues on an Active programme, will be the real person. The 'default' person if you will, because the experiences you take part in are real, the behaviours you exhibit are genuine. What you do on our programme, is what you do at work, is what you do at home - you can't fake who you are. By putting you in touch with you as a person, bringing you into sharp focus, we open the way for you to grow and develop. Creating opportunities for you to be more authentic and to bring more passion and adventure to everything you do. The Active focus is relentlessly positive and forward facing. The only true failure you experience, is the failure of potential you accept from yourself when you stop challenging. When you no longer try. When you settle for defeat or compromise rather than remain resilient. When you are judgemental and blaming instead of empowered and exploring. It's giving up that's your only true failure. Everything else is just a lesson on the road to success. We always leave responsibility with the individual, indeed we are so robust on this point, we are often accused of forcing the individual to take responsibility. This doesn't mean we aren't engaged. With Active you get a partner that is anything but neutral. However, we won't rescue you, fudge or dodge an issue, nor will we provide you with easy answers or quick fixes. We just bring things into sharp focus for you and use our skills with questions with observations to help you understand your reality, explore your options, discover your solutions and master your challenges.
Repetition combined with targeted coaching is essential to building skills. An unquestionable outcome from every Active programme, is that you will acquire new skills and appetites for change. That's why our development programmes are always either residential or multi day events. In addition, each programme comes with follow up structures to provide participants with the support they need to harness new skills and insights back on their real ground. We believe very strongly, that your outcomes are achieved or frustrated one thought, one conversation, one action at a time. Everything you do is created through your ideas and interpreted through your actions. The ideas in your head - your conversations with yourself. The ideas you share, develop, explore with others - your conversations & relationships with others. The ideas you select to deliver solutions - the strategies and planning you develop, and the ideas you turn into reality - the actions you take or lead. Language is the tool you use to explore and develop every thought until it becomes action. Your life, your business, your progress is totally wrapped up in your ability to understand and use language powerfully. Your internal self talk, inside your head when thinking about ideas, deciding your emotions and interpreting the actions or comments of others is very powerful and totally your choice, either sub concious or deliberate. Your external communication, when fostering relationships, creating a positive performance atmosphere or influencing others to contribute is also one of personal choice, but this choice is totally affected by the inner dialogue you have just had. Getting real with yourself and getting control of your thinking is the starting point for change. You are an emotional engine, your state of mind - your attitude, drives your ability to think constructively, germinate and construct ideas. It determines your willingness to explore with others, to be adventurous, to be generous with your attention and commitment to encourage. Without harnessing the power of your words, you are very limited in what fresh thinking you allow of yourself and you are constrained by the boundaries of past experiences as to what actions you can take. Your ideas are just day dreams unless you can leverage positive action from them and inspire others to contribute. Conversations and communication is how you achieve everything. You build your successes one thought, one conversation, one action at a time. For your successes to be enriching, sustainable and enhancing, they need to be forged on the anvil of adventure. All development requires the taking of risk. All change is about a relationship with the yet unknown. Your thoughts, your conversations, your actions need to be adventurous, but not reckless. Your choices must take you away from what you already know and can already do - stepping away from your comfort zone and towards uncharted terrain. Your adventure, your life, your choice. We will develop your ability and appetite to live a life full of adventure through your awarness and skills in utilising three key areas:
