The Survive Region:

Your Inner Saboteurs

Saboteurs are the voices in your head that generate negative emotions when you handle life’s challenges. They exist in the brainstem, limbic system, and parts of the left brain. They produce much of your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, shame, guilt, frustration, and mind chatter. These negative emotions are only helpful for a second as they alert you to dangers or issues. However, staying in these emotions hurts your ability to see clearly and choose the most impactful response.

The Thrive Region:

Your Inner Sage

Your Sage lives in an entirely different region of your brain, the middle prefrontal cortex, “empathy circuitry,” and parts of the right brain. It generates positive emotions while handling life’s challenges. These include empathy, compassion, gratitude, curiosity, joy of creativity, and calm, clear-headed laser-focused action. This region is wired for creativity and big-picture awareness of what is important and the best course of action.

Activating this region results in release of endorphins that counter the negative impacts of stress-induced cortisol.

Through Positive Intelligence neuroscience based techniques, the PQ Program strengthens the three critical core muscles of Mental Fitness: Self Command Muscle, Saboteur Interceptor Muscle, Sage Muscle. This shifts the balance of power from your inner Saboteurs (your negative self), to your inner Sage (your positive self).

What is Activation™️ Method Coaching?

Activation™️ Method (AM) Coaching is a dynamic coaching method used worldwide to help individuals, families, couples and organizations to support the individual and group. Our system of change empowers the client to take action daily through real actions and strategies, to create the real and lasting change they desire. AM believes that all people have the potential to overcome the negative patterns and beliefs which keep them from thriving and reaching their goals.

What to expect from your certified Activation™️ Method Coach?

I begin by listening – to your desired goals as well as your highest priorities and relationships – so I can be an effective advocate for your intentions, relationships, and life that you desire. This system of coaching is a very customized experience, and no two people are ever the same. Clients gain a greater ability to see the “big picture” of their life, find and improve key relationships, take daily actions that increase their joy, and stop the patterns of fear and resistance that hold them back from living a joyful life.

How is Activation™️ Method Coaching different from other types of Life Coaching?

A Certified AM Coach is trained to identify every type of obstacle that may be holding a client back (such as internal beliefs, communication patterns, relationship beliefs and practices, life stages), and prescribes practical strategies to create results in each of these areas. Activation™️ Method encompasses goal setting, communication skill building, relationship work, high performance, purpose, discovery, and uses creative modalities to help clients put their dreams into action.

What can you expect to improve in your life as you work with your certified AM coach?

You can expect to gain clarity, action, and progress towards the goals you want to achieve. You will learn about yourself and how to be more effective with the key people in your life. Most clients discover areas of opportunity, freeing up energy and initiative, and more insight and harmony with those they care about. Communication is key to all AM Coaching.

How is Coaching different than therapy?

Psychotherapy and counseling generally work within a medical framework, identifying and diagnosing conditions and prescribing treatment. Coaching starts with you, now, with how to take practical steps to make progress towards the goals, relationships, and experiences you want. Coaching is not meant to replace psychotherapy – it is a distinct, practical approach to supporting clients in the decisions and actions that will support their goals, relationships, and fulfillment in life.

How is Activation™️ Method being applied in various industries worldwide?

Activation™️ Method is being used with people of all ages to create greater understanding and personal success. In industry, AM strategies are being used by managers, business owners, public relation representatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders to create understanding, personal responsibility, team cohesion, and higher standards for connection, leadership, and success. In education, teachers are using AM strategies to better understand, connect with, and teach students of all ages. In the medical field, care providers are using it to improve the healing process for patients and their families.
