Human being have A LOT going on.  At any momeent there are dozens (if not 100s) of choices available to you.  Some of them will produce things you really care about that will leave you satisfied and fulfilled.  Some of them will get rid of or avoid things you don’t want.  And sometimes doing the things that will satisy you and fulfill you will temporarily result in feelings you might not like in the short-term.  

In this quarter, we explore a powerful tool for personal growth, team-building, and communicating as a leader: The ACT Matrix.

Developed by Kevin Polk, countless practitioners have used this to elevate performance personally and professionally, using it both individually and in group contexts.

This quarter, we focus on its use in in both personal and group endeavors.  Key areas of focus are:

  • Awareness and Acceptance – starting with some of the most fundamental Acceptance and Commitment Therapy moves we begin to confront those experiences we avoid – doing so in the service of what really matters.
  • Values  – Always pointing back to what really matters – and what’s really going to leave us fulfilled – we plot who we want to be and a vision for the future – both for ourselves and others.
  • Committed Action – We spend the bulk of our time here, in an environment that supports taking bold action in the service of what matters. We explore
    • Action as communication – having the conversations that will have values expressed in your personal and professional life.
    • Building new behavior patterns – trying new things and venturing into new spaces.
    • Action and Integrity – Having action be an authentic expression of values and working with the practices to realign when action and values deviate – and to do so in the service of living a life of vitality.

The quarter starts with a self-assessment, and then we quickly move into practices to up your game in the areas that are most important to you.  You’ll be part of a supportive environment where each and every participant is playing the game of growth and development together.

The promise of the quarter is that you will experience greater clarity and confidence in taking the actions that are aligned with who you authentically want to be in life.
