Entelechy has developed an effective way to help organizations and individuals answer these critical questions. Based on valid, reliable principles of cognitive psychology (the study of how thinking affects our behavior), Entelechy's educational process teaches people how to release individual and collective potential by identifying and changing the things that inhibit and block high performance; both personally and professionally.

Entelechy's clients are taught the principles of creating positive, lasting change by embracing change from the inside out, beginning with their people. Employees begin by learning the skills necessary to recognize the invisible barriers of habits, attitudes, beliefs and expectations. Once they are recognized, they can be altered. Invariably, this alteration is seen not only as possible, but also as desirable and energizing. Change in behavior automatically results from change in thought processes. And when individuals change the way they think and behave, change in the behavior and performance of an organization naturally follows.

By equipping your employees with the tools to deal effectively with externally imposed changes, both personally and professionally, and to cause their own internal changes, they begin to see themselves differently. They feel empowered to take charge, and they feel accountable for their own actions and the results they produce.


For yourself… for your employees… for management… for leadership...

The Entelechy Way provides a proven-effective process for sustainable positive change
within an organization or team.


The Entelechy Way [BACK TO TOP]

Summary

1. The Ten Principles of Entelechy Seminar [BACK TO TOP]
This is the cornerstone of The Entelechy Way Process. The seminar curriculum is designed to build a strong foundation that can then be applied in many areas, such as teamwork, communication, consensus building, innovative problem solving, and facilitative leadership. It is used as a jumping off place and useful common language based on shared values throughout the process.

The Ten Principles educational process begins with a 16-hour seminar, followed by a two-week personal practice period guided by an audio program. The seminar curriculum focuses on teaching participants how to accept accountability for and successfully manage their own lives, how to deal more effectively with change in their personal and professional environments, and how to enhance their personal creativity and energy, as well as that of the entire group. Most importantly, participants develop a clear understanding of how their thoughts shape and determine their own futures. At the conclusion of this education, participants:

  • understand how beliefs affect and control behavior;
  • know how to change limiting beliefs into useful attitudes;
  • realize how change affects most people and know how to minimize their own down-time when adjusting to the new;
  • accept complete accountability for their own success and happiness;
  • are able to use creative imagery to help them achieve personal and organizational goals.

2. Leadership Diagnostic [BACK TO TOP]
"Once we've walked a mile in your shoes, there's no telling how far you'll go."

This step focuses on identifying the issues and underlying thought pattern/behaviors that are holding your organization/team back from unprecedented, record breaking performance. In order to achieve a successful implementation, which means achieving targeted results/benefits, we need to understand the dynamics (strengths, weaknesses, style, culture, and current as well as long-term challenges) of your organization or team. Most commonly, we do this through candid, confidential conversation and survey questions.

3. The Ten Principles of Entelechy Leadership Seminar [BACK TO TOP]
This step involves presenting the cornerstone curriculum to the leadership team and soliciting frank, constructive feedback.

4. Leadership/Facilitator Training [BACK TO TOP]
This is a special seminar designed to train selected staff to facilitate The Ten Principles seminar to employees and do so in a way that advances organizational objectives. At the conclusion of the training, participants:

  • are able to properly present and facilitate The Ten Principles of Entelechy to others inside your organization;
  • feel accountable for the successful implementation of the Entelechy Process within your organization. In addition to The Ten Principles of Entelechy seminar, this implementation most often includes
    • introductory seminars/workshops/publicity,
    • follow-up seminars/workshops,
    • and activities that stimulate creative integration into organizational processes and ongoing application of the principles learned in the seminar.
  • understand how to incorporate facilitation skills into their communication and management style

More specifically, the training ensures that participants are able to:

  • identify the skills and techniques needed to properly facilitate, i.e., role, style, effective use of questions, group dynamics, nonjudgmental listening, etc.;
  • effectively use these skills to facilitate sales meetings, conflict resolution, interdepartmental cooperation and communication, etc.;
  • master the five-step process used to present each Principle;
  • demonstrate that understanding by planning and presenting an assigned unit in a setting that simulates the facilitator's actual environment;
  • demonstrate knowledge of the affirmation/visualization process through participation in an Affirmation Workshop;
  • demonstrate ability to execute certain awareness exercises and activities in a classroom setting;
  • demonstrate familiarity with and ability to use collateral material;
  • identify and communicate the value of the audio assimilation package and other follow-up training designed to reinforce the basic curriculum.

5. The Ten Principles of Entelechy seminar: In-house facilitation to the entire organization. [BACK TO TOP]
In this step, the curriculum is rolled out to all employees.

6. Building the Vision Workshop [BACK TO TOP]
Organizations implementing plans for continuous quality improvement or any other change process often fall short of achieving full success for a simple but profound reason: poor articulation of the vision at the top, resulting in lack of middle management and employee buy-in and commitment. Using the concepts learned in the preceding workshops and seminars, the organization now develops a set of strategically sound goals.

The Vision Building process focuses The Ten Principles key concepts and thinking skills on effective short- and long-range planning. This process enables you and your people to make bold choices that have a high probability of success. This session captures the energy, drive, creativity, and enthusiasm generated by the vision building process and channels them into specific action plans and clear accountability paths.

7. Keeping the Momentum Alive [BACK TO TOP]
Continuous improvement throughout the organization is a mindset that must be sustained. Questions that are most often considered and answered during this step, include:

  • Do we want to measure results and, if so, how?
  • How do we prevent the roller-coaster effect, i.e., climbing rapidly to a new high of productivity and energy, which soon levels off and may even disappear?
  • What activities can we offer, support, and encourage that help people to continue to creatively apply what they have learned in The Ten Principles seminar?
  • What are the best ways to integrate The Ten Principles and The Entelechy Way into our organizational style and culture?

Overall timing and spacing of seminars and related activities will depend on how aggressive you want to be. Our plans will allow for flexibility. As changes occur, they will be incorporated into the implementation process.
