Business

Articles and courses specifically focused on business issues and dynamics, particularly in the areas of:

Intuition, Creativity and Innovation
Sales, Project Management
'Begin with the end in play' success-factors, methodologies and principles
'Psycho-social eco-systems' that support business development
Leadership
Adaptive Systems Thinking
Timeless Management Principles

As with all Belief Institute content and services, there is a focus on results - on effective reality-creation. We subscribe to the view that individually and collectively we "create our circumstances." Hence the provision of Institute programs such as "Intelligent Co-Design," in which it is understood that we intimately and directly contribute to, and are responsible for the company, community and world we experience.

Begin with the end in play® - Sales

Begin with the End in Play - Sales is a short, intensive (2 hr) workshop for project / sales / management professionals, focused on the 'machinery' that underpins, enables and powers our ability to create desired results (e.g. sales targets and project outcomes).

The workshop introduces advanced quantum principles that enable stronger, more resilient focusing on, and realisation of, one's desired future circumstances and goals.

Key insights into how possibilities are 'realised' into lived actuality are covered.

Creative, intuitive abilities are couched within an expanded philosophical framework that recognises the need to 'let go' mechanical (past-based) thinking and behaviour.

'Business nanny' focus

Submitted by The Belief Doctor on Mon, 15/03/2010 - 7:57am

The basic idea:

As a small-business owner, email me with your business details. I'll call, schedule and visit in due course, stay a day or two giving advice, helping out where needed (in some capacity or role that is directly beneficial). In return payment is negotiated to the value of the ideas, training and solutions provided.*

In recent months in particular, but also in recent years, I've been drawn to helping small business friends and, in general, the small business community.1

It's an activity that I naturally find myself 'falling into' ... whether it be advice on project management, organising better business systems, or simply picking up the phone and making some sales calls on their behalf.

In a sense I've been a business nanny, and it's a role that I find immensely satisfying.

* Note. I like working with small-business people, but many have insufficient funds, or a well-founded aversion to hiring consultants. The business-nanny role can involve working as a project manager, sales consultant, or in any capacity that is of direct benefit to the business. By being hands-on and working in and for the business, a return on investment is assured for clients, while providing the opportunity to assess business operations. Where cash-flow is an issue, a nominal fee can be arranged, plus a negotiated fee for relevant training, seminars, ideas and solutions.

1. As explained previously I believe small business entrepreneurs have a creative independent spirit.

Belief-System Tune-Ups

Many people easily forget how muich they rely on mental-maps (belief-systems) to navigate through life.

What we believe defines, shapes and creates us. What we believe possible will reveal itself by what we attempt to achieve.

Belief-system tuneups are designed to reveal the deeper, more congruent frameworks of life -- those that you can rely on, irrespective of time and circumstance.

Belief-System Tune-Ups can be tailored for the industry, circumstances and needs of clients.

Profitable Sustainability

Submitted by Admin on Mon, 15/06/2009 - 11:30am

"Sustainability" is one of those loaded terms that is usually taken to mean "living smaller" - of having to ride bicycles to work, reducing our lifestyle, and cutting back on overseas travel ... which all means less choice, freedom and fun!

The expectation that sustainable business practices will reduce profitability is likewise often assumed. Not much fun in that.

Considerations toward greater 'control of destiny'

Considerations towards greater 'control of destiny' in the workplace

These considerations follow from the research and material included in "Factors in Employee Health, wellbeing and reslience.'

The following list of considerations and questions is aimed at improving 'control of destiny' primarily in the workplace, but also in personal and social circumstances.

Sustainable Living

[ Copyright Dr Werner Sattmann-Frese 2009]

Notions of ‘Sustainable Living’ have recently been considered in relation to topics such as clean air and water, Permaculture and solar panels.

Whereas such environmental initiatives and government programs are important and will continue to play important roles in the ecological recovery of this planet, there is now also a growing awareness that to live sustainably we will also have to address the emotional and psychosocial aspects of sustainability.

The participation and well-being of individuals within all stratas of society are important to the viability of sustainable living programs and practices.

Creativity, Intuition and Quantum Mechanics

Creativity, Intuition and Quantum Mechanics (CIQM) is a short (20-30min) presentation given to business groups. It contains key concepts and materials provided in the Begin with the End In Play^® program.

The presentation introduces the key principles of quantum theory, and how those principles relate to, and provide a basis for, intuition and creativity.

It reveals how and why we are severely limited by old-paradigm (reductionist) thinking dating back to Isaac Newton. Old-paradigm thinking is still the basis for the vast bulk of contemporary scientific, medical and business management attitudes and beliefs.

Quantum mechanics has revealed the potential for creativity and intuition spreads beyond whatever is reducible to logic, reason and fact: surprises and original ideas are available to those who learn the processes by which to expect and receive them.

There is no script

Personnel departments and consultancies almost invariably attempt to categorize and define people according to certain personality traits which are then matched to the requirements of a particular position. To some extent, definition of skills, competencies and character is important for effective placement of people. But present attempts to write more effective computer programs or questionnaires to help determine character are misguided.

Why managers need management training!

A presumptive title, for which I hope you will excuse me.

Most people in the role of Executive, Manager or Consultant, be it for a large company, own business, or other services, bring specific skills and qualities to their work. In many cases those same people are required to manage people, in an office, on a site, around the world. So, how do we keep our management skills up-to-date? When was the last time you attended management training?
