Who is the programme for?

The programme is suitable for anyone who:

– is interested in their cognition and wants to find out how it works

– wants to discover how their brain works

– would like to understand human behaviour (people in managerial and leading roles)

– wishes to explore the link between cognition, language and wellbeing

Who will benefit from learning about language functions and cognition?

 Teachers,  Tutors,  Psychologists,  Therapists,  Counsellors,  Educators, Lecturers

Coaches,  Mentors, Leaders and Managers

Understanding the foundations of the learning process and cognition is a critical condition for anyone who teaches, leads other people to be successful at passing the knowledge and applying it.

The knowledge of cognition will certainly make any educator so much more impactful and effective. It will also enable them to highly motivate their students and guide the students through the process of learning in a new, powerful way.

– anyone who works with people and who is in charge of people

An excellent understanding of how people process information, how they interpret it and how they choose or make a decision is simply invaluable to anyone who deals with a group of people and tries to lead them.

People in charge, in any managerial position, will benefit from understanding the way human cognition works, they will be in a better position to influence people, motivate them and by doing that increase their productivity.

Programme overview – the modules

Module 1 – Conceptualisation, embodiment and mental spaces

The first module is about cognitive foundations and processes that are responsible for simple and more complex conceptualisations. The next part of the module is about the way language is linked with our body through the process called embodiment. Mental spaces describe larger cognitive structures we form in order to understand things in a more general way.

Module 2 – Different levels of cognition

Not many people know about the three levels of cognition, which play an incredibly important role in how we decide, how we choose and finally how we act. In particular, level three of cognition is not present in our consciousness and by bringing it into our awareness, we gain control over how we process a vast amount of information that comes to our brain through our senses. Each layer has a distinct function: the third, most important in cognition is about general patterns and trends in our mindset.

Module 3 – Cognition and language

More and more people are finding that their language has a profound impact on the way they feel. Very few people know exactly why. I found many, if not the majority of answers and solutions in cognitive linguistics. It clearly demonstrates how even a single, concrete concept impacts not only what we think about but also the way we feel and most importantly, the way we act.

Module 4 – Cognitive distortions and imbalances

We all have them, the questions to ask here are: how many do we have in our cognition and how much they impact our lives.

As humanity, we are at the stage where we are becoming aware of our own thoughts and expanding our consciousness. We are only beginning to understand cognition and actually shape it the way we want it. Very few people know about cognitive distortions. Unchecked, they are likely to ruin any or all aspects of your life, they make you oblivious to your surroundings and they distort your perception of reality. They also profoundly influence your decision making and action taking, in many cases, with terrible consequences.

I help people improve their cognition so that they can influence and manage their energy, their mindset, their feelings and emotions. The language we use is also the key to our inner resources.

Module 5 – Psychology of learning / progressing

As the title of the module suggests, this module is for everyone, regardless of gender, age or location. It is about the fear of making mistakes, not willing to learn, it is about conflicting commitments, focus, judgement and expectations. It is also about the language we use around learning.

This module discusses the most common defence mechanisms used by people to avoid change or learning. It sheds the light on the possible reasons why people procrastinate, feel overwhelmed anxious and stressed. What I mean by learning here is our spiritual, mental and emotional growth not only in our childhood but also in adulthood.

Module 6 – Cognitive strengths and abilities

I had no idea… I did not know, nobody told me about the limitless and immaterial resources we all have in our inner energy.  We can all access them and use them: creativity, commitment, determination, certainty, flexibility, connection, compassion and vision – to name a few…

In this final and extremely empowering module, you will discover the resources yourself and you will master using them at any stage and in every corner of your life. In addition to resources you will discover a set of superpowers available to use in any circumstances.

The outcomes and benefits of the programme:

– you will understand what cognition is and how to manage it

– you explore three layers of cognition

– you will discover what is your cognition mainly based on your mind, your body or your soul? 

– you will learn about and  experience your own individual meta-programmes

– you will explore and adjust the language you use around any given area of life

– you will explore and adjust the language you use around any given area of life

– you will explore and adjust the conceptualisations of self (your inner – Self)

– you will explore your environment in terms of impact on your cognition

–  you will develop a clear conceptualisation of your future – visualisation and manifestation are most crucial

– you will gain power and control over your cognition; identify and acknowledge, assess and act on any cognitive inconsistencies, contradictions or  imbalances – cognitive distortions

– you will be able to control your meta-programmes, be aware of them and make decisions about how to use them

– you will explore language currently used around these cognitive distortions and meta-programmes

– you will create an alternative language set and use it – in order to correct any cognitive distortions, inconsistences or distortions
