EDUCATION AND Y.O.U.


The YOU Consulting Group (YCG), home of The Ultimate Life Tool, recently launched its in-service curriculum for education. The Ultimate Life Tool is one of the newest advanced human assessment instruments available today. In brief, the methodology behind the technology is based on The Knowledge of Y.O. U., which is an acronym for your own understanding. This insight is older than the language of man, grounded in science and founded in nature. Unlike the current staples available in the psychometric industry, psychotherapists, educators, life coaches and human resource professionals are finding this cutting edge instrument to be a full diagnostic, offering an objective comprehensive approach that is quick, easy and accurate. Last month, The Children’s School, a prestigious forward thinking award winning elementary school in La Jolla, California, scheduled an in-service program with YCG. The full day experience was filled with new objective ways to SEE the true nature of one’s behavior and how it influences others. In addition to revealing the dynamics of the self as it relates to physical law, many discoveries were made in how to SEE the authenticity of a child and the manner in which he or she learns. The participants became familiar with the importance of being able to differentiate between natural and learned behavior as it applied specifically to themselves, their peers and the children they teach.

Aside from the role that audio, visual and tactile play in creating lesson plans, the knowledge revealed that human beings are far more complex when it comes to how they learn and relate to their environment. Furthermore it demonstrated how each human being on the planet, at any age, is as unique as their thumbprint and how prescribing homogenized programs could exclude a vast majority of children in the classroom. Conversely, lesson plans are at the effect of the planner and are often created in a manner that makes sense to the person behind the pen. Teachers and administrative staff participating came to understand the struggles that some children were having based on the nature of how they learn and how they may or may not be challenged by the natural dynamics of the lesson being taught. Each child naturally absorbs information differently. When we are asked to learn something that is in conflict with our nature, it fatigues or frustrates us. This is often expressed as unacceptable behavior when in fact, it is merely a cry for a more user friendly alternative.

Initially, The Children School’s objective was to use the Ultimate Life Tool technology and information to develop team building strategies and create a healthy dialogue among faculty members. The YCG staff facilitating the program included myself, Zannah Hackett, Founder and leading authority in the Knowledge of Y.O.U. and the Ultimate Life Tool, Lisa Nelson, VP of YCG Program Development, Educator and Level IV Certified YOU practitioner and Niloo Tavangar-Sadr, VP of YCG Educational Development, an RCB certified educator and Level III Certified YCG Practitioner. Each highly skilled representative provided one on one and team assessments as well as follow-up with administration. The Head of the School, Molly Huffman, and Assistant Head, Julie Lee, wanted to be able to better understand the true nature of their faculty, in hopes to discover more efficient ways of supporting each teacher as they strive to be a positive influence on this lifetime’s most precious resource and tomorrow’s hope for mankind, our children.

Every YCG seminar provided is tailored to the environment and the objectives of the administrative staff requesting services. In this case, approximately forty staff members took the online survey and discovered their “God Given” or natural traits, what motivates them, the role that their level of refinement played in getting along with others, their magnetic potential and just how much energy they had to bring to the table today. Knowing these subtle natural truths about oneself, allows one to breathe easier, make better choices and more fully accept others. All too often we place expectations or recommend what works for us upon another. When in fact, each of us is uniquely different from one another. Let’s use the analogy of trees to describe differences. When we look at a cactus we know not to plant it the snow and when we look at a pine tree we know not to plant it in the desert. Yet, when we look at a human being we know little about their authentic nature and what it is going to take to help them fully thrive successfully. Instead, we recommend what worked for us or the majority of our friends, colleagues, students and clients. We should be able to see the true nature of our fellow man by looking at them. During primitive times man did not require words. He knew. And, he has forgotten what he knew. Our lifetime has produced so many distractions that we can’t even hear ourselves think. Being able to SEE again is what the Ultimate Life Tool is all about. How can we teach, nurture, heal and advise if we don’t know what we are looking at? The term “what” goes beyond nationality, gender, and age. Instead it looks at us as living things operating as vehicles for our spirit. It identifies WHAT kind of vehicle you are and leaves you with an operating manual. It is objective. It can identify how natural law shows up in you or another person. Imagine if every teacher or parent received an operating manual for their students and children and for themselves? This knowledge provides the guidance. It reveals the natural mathematics of man and delves deep into the role that intuition, interfacing with each unique individual’s design, plays and how we are at the effect of the toxicity of this lifetime. The many layers of this understanding are all briefly addressed in the seminars so that those participating can come to realize the importance of OBJECTIVELY understanding what lies in the obvious. Each participant leaves with a better understanding of Y.O.U. (your own understanding).

Mainstream Propheteering ... Prophets seeking Profits


With so many wealth and business gurus out there, how's a person to know what is real and what is not? Today's knowledge campaign trail is filled with new renditions of very old songs but are all worthy of an attentive ear? The problem presents itself in deciding which wannabe prophet we want to follow. True, all of us have a gift or message that needs to be shared but there is a certain level of integrity that must prevail in earning the respect of an audience. And unfortunately our standards for "FOLLOWSHIP" have become somewhat turned inside out.

In fact, it's almost fashionable to be inappropriately popular. This brings to mind the MAFIA. Growing up in the seventies, gurus were plenty and the MAFIA was still quietly regarded as the GOOD BAD GUY. Meaning, it's okay to kill, mame and pass judgment as long as you make some philanthropic demonstration to balance the scales. Today the MAFIA is not what it used to be (the popular clique on the block) but there are other similar social scams out there; some far more deceptive than the mafia of the 70's could have ever imagined. These can be identified in every facet of life; music, education, government, business, spirituality and healthcare. It's called "politics"... I call it "propheteering".

Propheteering is a strategy used to market ideas and make icons or gurus out of great actors and actresses. Little attention is given to the integrity of the message. In fact, they can be singing the same song and consumers are made to believe it is something new. I don't care if we are voting for a President or looking to sign up our company with a business consulting firm promising wealth, we must look at the intention behind the firm. Intention is everything.
Questions to ask:

1. Is there more than one expert on staff?
2. Is the playground shared in terms of promoting the product or is the attention primarily focused on one or two individuals in terms of making the OPRAH circuit?
3. Do company representatives serve well outside of their career pursuit?

If the answer is yes to all three questions, make an appointment to listen to their sales pitch. We don't need anymore Prophets seeking Profits. We need people serving people.

Perhaps I'm dating myself, but remember when the customer came first and was always right?

I do.

LOVE IS A DANCE


Do what you love and the money will come. How many times have you heard that? Often business professionals and executive coaches spend session after session trying to assist their clients in gaining clarity as to what change to make. The key word is "CHANGE". It's the one thing that we all know we can count on and the one thing that serves at the epicenter of love or loving well enough to be successful. Many people often do not get lessons in learning how to love their work, or in embracing their job responsibilities and managing the differences that come with being surrounded by many various personalities. Instead it is something they do as a means to an end. In fact the word LOVE on an executive business forum or an employment site is almost unheard of. Yet, LOVE is everything when it comes to achieving success naturally. Gain that comes naturally, gives us energy.

I can't tell you how many people have come into my office saying. "I don't even know what love looks like!" or "what it feels like!" The truth is, LOVE is not a look or a feeling... it is a movement. That's right. Love is having the ability to adjust, flex and flow in the face of harmony and adversity. It's being able to shift gears, change plans, take over, hold back, organize, stir things up, laugh, cry and even disappear when you know it will serve the situation best. All too often we stand glued, attached and fixated to an expectation or imagined outcome. The result frequently becomes more important than the relationships leading up to the grand finale. Guess what? It's always about the relationships.

Love in a relationship is an exquisitely improvised piece of choreography ever revealing new lyrical sequences that entertain and enlighten our existence. It usually starts out as a soft prelude and as time goes on the steps we take become a reflection of the choices we make. Ask yourself, how well do you move through your life and in the management of all your relationships? If you move well... then you LOVE well. It's just that simple.

LOVE is something that starts with Y.O.U., your own understanding. YCG prides itself in making today's cutting edge human assessment technology "THE ULTIMATE LIFE TOOL" available to certified ICF IAC life coaches, psychotherapists, MFTs, LCWs, educators and qualified seasoned relationship management professionals. Certification programs are available and accredited by the California State Board of Behavioral Sciences.

PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE VS POLARITY


I came across an interesting article about passive aggressive behavior. I was saddened by the fact that homogenized theories and pigeon hole perceptions were conveyed and that little attention was given to the true nature of the individual. Seems all passive-aggressive types according to popular standards stem from the same pool of unaddressed childhood issues. NOT!!! Passive Aggressive behavior simply means that an individual is more passive in nature than aggressive. Some people are more aggressive than passive. Displays of dysfunction occur when ignorance prevails rather than intelligence and this blatant presentation of toxicity is largely due to the fact that there are few people, places and things that don't suffer from it in some degree or another. Passive & Aggressive are simply words used to describe how natural law shows up in an individual. Unfortunately, words also create opinion and falsify truths that could and would bring us closer to self-realization if we simply took the time to understand the physical world we live in realizing physical law does not subscribe to opinion.

Many people are Aggressive-Aggressive. Most often these types become extremely volatile and destructive when clarity is not present. However, these are the same individuals that move quickly in a crisis and are upfront about the realities of life, addressing them head-on. We should never expect a Passive-Aggressive to behave in the same way. Passive Aggressive types are not volatile even in a toxic state. They are reclusive and often victimized when not seeing life clearly. Clarity is a gift of intelligence. Whenever you are not thinking clearly you are simply toxic and need to dust yourself off before life gets worse. If you would like to know more about the true nature of who you are, specifically your polarity and what electromagnetic potential awareness can do for you, contact YCG and start discovering the real Y.O.U. today.

THE ANSWER by Zannah Hackett

In 1994 I began researching at great length, the nature of man, constantly seeking an answer to why it is we do what we do the way we do it. Over the next 14 years I continued my quest for THE ANSWER. In 1998, as I examined my own compilation of work, I came upon what was revealed to me as THE ANSWER in great detail. The work, trademarked and copyrighted as THE ANSWER reveals how man shows up in nature. Where the popular book and dvd "The Secret" opened eyes, THE ANSWER, allows people to SEE. Visualization and manifesting dreams into reality is great but handling life as it stands before you can often present obstacles that slow us down.

THE ANSWER permits one to recognize solutions and develop strategies that are designed to enhance their unique physical presentation, performance and maintain the integrity of who they are. Showing up authentically requires intelligence and unfortunately our ability to access intelligence got lost in translation over hundreds of thousands of years. In fact, "We still are striving to recognize ourselves in our own individual states of authenticity, knowing deep down inside that there is a reason why we show up the way we do in this life. Yet, we still refuse to take the time to discover WHAT we are but rather prefer to subscribe to who we are.We are a species that can easily differentiate between a cactus and a willow but cannot see itself. We recognize that a cheetah runs faster than a cow but often judge man as inferior if he naturally moves a bit slower than another.This lack of sight is largely due to the noise of our lifetime and it likely all began when man uttered his first word."*

The wonderful results of enlisting a tool that affords one the ability to see the nature of another without uttering a word dramatically improves the decision making process. If you know you are looking at a cactus you are not going to recommend planting him in the snow. All too often we place recommendations and advise based on what works for ourselves. We are all very unique and cannot be homogenized. This lifetime prides itself in dumbing us down so that we can begin to understand ourselves. I am not so sure this is the right approach. However, I am sure that if everyone had THE ANSWER, there would be complete acceptance based on the OBVIOUS rather than opinion or subjective reasoning.

THE ANSWER is an overview of an in depth understanding referred to as the Knowledge of Y.O.U.. This body of information is grounded in science, founded in nature and serves as the impetus for the latest advanced human assessment technology today "THE ULTIMATE LIFE TOOL". Not unlike Ken Wilber's scientific reasoning with regards to the 3 different aspects of science and its need to meet up with an injunction in order to manifest in the third dimension, THE ANSWER reveals in a practical sense how humans are influenced physically by this process as well as the laws that serve as the source code in supporting the integrity of one's natural or not so natural presentation.If you are life coach, a relationship expert, healthcare professional, educator or HR executive, you can benefit a great deal from this tool.

WAITING IN LINE...CHALLENGE OR CHANCE?


Whether you are a leader or a follower one must take a strong look at the toxicity of one's environment in an effort to proceed forward with integrity. Toxicity as we know it comes in many forms. There are the lovely viral influences that are re-infecting us: like the all too familiar crud that keeps coming back to bless us with its presence FOR THE FIFTH MONTH IN A ROW. What is that all about? Then there are those disgruntled people that seem to pop up at the dry cleaners, the bank and local wireless phone store, taking pleasure in spewing their venom upon everyone, because they TOO have to wait in line. In fact, waiting in line probably rates among the top five most popular causes for toxicity and spreading viruses.

I can't believe how many people detest waiting in line and how their behavior begins to slime everyone within their personal field. I often wonder if we were to consider waiting in line a chance versus a challenge, if clarity and viral protection would prevail. Perhaps we could even walk away clearer and healthier from having had the chance to stand in line or wait on the phone by changing our attitude towards it. Imagine if we saw standing in line as a form of toxic release?

The truth is, it all comes down to choice and perception. We can choose to embrace each moment by maximizing the opportunity to stop the clock and catch up on our thoughts for the day or agonize over the fact that everyone and everything is not jumping to fast enough for our liking. Americans are just simply spoiled. We whine about waiting in line at Starbucks while children in Africa wait in greater lines for a thimble full of rice with a smile and excitement on their face.

Next time you have to wait in line... enjoy the wait. Once you master waiting, every time you must wait, you will find you have more patience with everyone and everything in your life. It's a form of training. Your family, friends, employees and employers will begin to notice the kindness and clarity you have to offer their life. When that begins to happen, self-mastery is in the works and all from simply learning to love the wait.

Take a chance... spend your time wisely.

SPIRITUALITY


The Eagles, http://www.eaglesband.com/, recorded a song in the ‘70s called The Last Resort. A very powerful song that is still true today. I’m doing this from memory and iTunes, http://www.itunes.com/ , the last verse talks about sailing to Maui.

“We can leave it all behind, and sail to Lahaina, just like the missionaries did, so many years ago. They even brought a neon sign that says, ‘Jesus is Coming’, brought the white man’s burden down, brought the white man’s reign. We’ll provide the grand design of what is yours and what is mine. There is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here, to satisfy our endless needs, and justify our bloody deeds, in the name of destiny and in the name of God. And you can see them there, on Sunday morning, stand up and sing about, what it’s like up there. They call it paradise, I don’t know why, call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye.”

That neon sign is still on top of a church in Lahaina. We need to be very careful what true beauty and spirit we destroy with our own insatiable desire to conquer and instill our own agenda.
