Appreciation of the huge potential of attitudinal-based learning has brought new vision and the development of new and even more ambitious strategies.
In particular there is the realization of the impact this could have in developing countries. Here old beliefs and a lack of individual development severely frustrate attempts to keep up in a rapidly changing world.
Everybody must win to make it work
The core aim of P3 Techniques which rapidly promote a positive approach to learning will greatly improve the dissemination of essential new skills and knowledge which, in turn, will make a significant difference to economies, individual health and prosperity and, ultimately, even to the stability of the countries in question.
And all of this could come about because someone actually cared enough to ask what impact attitude can have on the learning process.
So what makes our approach so new and different?
Is it in the Science?
Certainly - This is all based on leading edge research*
Is it in the Results?
Definitely - No other method is more effective
Is it Unique?
Absolutely - Nobody else does it quite like P3
Only those who have participated in a truly mind-stretching event can ever know the sheer energy, excitement and fulfilment that comes from it.
Sadly, far too few ever get the chance to share such an experience.
But delegates to P3 Training can generally count themselves
among the fortunate few...
P3 Courses are different - each individually created not only to satisfy particular goals, but to reach into the minds of specific participants too.
Positive, enjoyable and stretching !
Training Manager, MBNA BankSince few organisations, or groups within an organisation, will ever need precisely the same thing, there can be no such thing as a typical P3 Training Course. But that said, we can at least establish some of the not so common features:
The first thing about attitudinal-based learning is attitude. And when we talk attitude we mean positive. There is no place for passive participation on a P3 Course. Participants can expect total interaction - involvement, energy, and enthusiasm - all in full measure. In short, a truly stretching and enlightening experience.
Set Up ... Upset ... then Set Down
All training starts with the Set Up.
Here the impact of new contexts and perspectives is designed to generate
real enthusiasm for what is to come. Very soon, even the most hesitant or
reluctant participants come around aching for more.
Now we can move on to the Up Set part of the process - but it's far less upsetting than it sounds. In our experience, you don't move far forward dragging baggage from the past, so we make a point of dumping that first. The objective is to encourage trainees to raise their own expectations in readiness to face a new challenge.
With this shift in learning ethos established, we are ready to start with the serious transfer of information. This stage is the Set Down, where hands-on exercises put the new knowledge into practice to reinforce retention and learning, but more important still, to give everyone an immediate chance to experience the first fruits of their new perceptions.
