Are you feeling left behind in learning new
information? Does your learning suffer from your parents' drama, your partner's demands or your
boss's moods? We can coach you to untangle
your life ... and you can coach other people accelerate their learning.
Do you want to Accelerate Learning?
If you do not regularly increase, update and use your
knowledge, you risk being left behind by those people who do. Accelerated
learning, knowledge management
and expert modeling are important
life skills - systemic education
that are rarely taught at school or university.
Your continued wellbeing may require that you learn and use
not only intellectual skills, but emotional and relationship skills. Some key
skills for accelerated learning are:
- learn HOW to learn comfortably and efficiently
- learn HOW to organize information quickly
- learn HOW to use information effectively
There are easier ways to learn than most people experience
in schools. Some teachers seem to transform the natural curiosity of children
into boring repetitions of irrelevant data. Many children learn how to
dissociate - many children learn to sleep with their eyes open.
In many Eastern cultures, social skills, communication and
relationship skills are considered more important than your information. In
most Western cultures, credentials are more important and emotional
intelligence is ignored or left
to chance. Some key skills of emotional intelligence are:
- learn HOW to recognize and appreciate emotions
- learn HOW to find the causes and messages of emotions
- learn HOW to express and communicate emotions appropriately
Failure to use knowledge management and emotional
management skills may result in lower performance, reduced prospects at
work and a risk of being labeled as learning disabled - or just slow.
- learn HOW to recognize and appreciate people
- learn HOW to appropriately behave in different relationships
- learn HOW to recognize transferences and relationship types
If you fail to develop your relationship skills, you risk a
lowered acceptance by other people, and problems building
and enjoying friendship, teamwork, partnership and parenthood.

To coaches & counselors: Be honest.
Only offer what you are SURE you can deliver.
Discuss techniques
before using them and test whether your clients get what you promise! |
Some people prefer to
avoid intellectual, emotional or relationship intelligence. The
reasons often involve identity loss,
relationship bonds - resulting from
emotional incest and other
relationship experiences. We coach people to build
their intellectual, emotional and relationship excellence and resolve
relationship and emotional blocks to happiness.

Systemic Life Coaching in Education
It's not too late to learn - if you can
answer "Yes" to these questions:
- Do you accept responsibility for your own
learning?
- Do you want assimilate new information quickly
and easily?
- Do you want to apply your knowledge in the
real world?
Most people accept the learning styles of their parents and
teachers without question, while a few people develop their own learning styles.
Does your learning style help you assimilate and use new information? Soulwork
systemic coaching can help
you find, refine and use what is most effective for you; and coach you to design and fine tune your own accelerated learning.
Accelerated Learning Strategies
Accelerated Learning includes strategies for
improving learning. Some strategies have been developed as a result of
research into how people learn. Effective accelerated learning
programs:

- focus on personal experiences and real world concerns
- build problem solving skills in authentic applications
- fit students emotional and intellectual ages
- help students' develop intellectually and
emotionally
- develop students' ability to plan their
learning
- develop students' ability to deal with relationships

Systemic Accelerated Learning
Soulwork systemic coaching is tailored to each
client and student, and we can show you how to develop perhaps-unique
accelerated learning strategies appropriate for your personal goals. But what is
accelerates your learning may not be optimal for your friend, partner or
student. We can train you to explore and generate accelerated learning
strategies that fit your clients and students.
Other Accelerated Learning Possibilities
While hypnosis, suggestions,
relaxation, music & etc may benefit your learning, the effects are
likely to be short term. Most blocks to efficient learning originate
in uncomfortable emotions, limiting beliefs
and relationship entanglements. If your goal is to pass an
examination and then forget everything, these approaches may be OK.
Hypnosis , Suggestion & Metaphors
Many books and CDs claim to help you improve
your learning, often by "overcoming your blocks" with
"more powerful ideas". Perhaps it just sounds like good
marketing, but it may work for you.
Speed Reading
Speed reading comprehension tests on people who have attended
popular speed reading workshops have not shown that the wondrous claims
made for this modality are valid.
Relaxation Response
When you are relaxed, you are more likely to concentrate
on whatever is being taught, especially if it is presented in interesting
ways. If you are anxious or worried about something, you may remember
your fears better than the material that you study.
Laughter & Fun
Why not make learning fun? Look for funny sides of the material you
want to remember. Maybe imagine clowns juggling with
the data or imagine what your favorite comedian might say about it.
Perhaps you can make funny anagrams of the first letters of key
information.
Musical Learning
Does listening to music help you study? Not me - although
some sellers of recorded music claim that their music can help you learn.
Dr Lozanov, a pioneer of accelerated learning,
claimed that Baroque music helps you remember what you study.
Sleep Learning?
Sleep learning seems more likely to
disturb your sleep and cause strange dreams rather than improve your
rest. Even small amounts of sleep deprivation can negatively affect your
study. Instead of learning, tired people may drift into inattention, daydreams,
impaired memory and shortened attention span.
Practice & Review
How you review and use your memorized knowledge is
a key part of learning. A review schedule can make a tremendous
difference to your retention of knowledge, rather than trying to
cram all review into the last day before an interview or
examination.
Left and Right Brains
Some psychologists insist that each side of your
brain has a different function. The left side is supposed to deal
with language, numbers and logic, while the right side may deal
with music, visual impressions and patterns. Even if true, we do not find this
particularly useful.
Numbers
Some people have trouble remembering
numbers and equations. This may be due to a too-early introduction to
mathematics, which resulted in remembering frustration rather
than remembering relationships between quantities. This can result in
unpleasant feelings when you consider science problems or mathematical
equations. Systemic coaching can dissolve unpleasant associations.
Food for Thought
Some dietary
supplements claim to boost brain power and memory, although it may seem
that every new book has different and even contradictory
recommendations. As many processed foods seem to lack nutritional
ingredients, some food supplements may make sense. But which ones?
Stress & Memory
Your stress can help or hinder
your study and recall. Although you can use many excellent
relaxation techniques both ancient and modern, perhaps choose a low-stress
learning place where you can make mistakes and still expect success.
Drugs & Memory: State Dependent Learning
The side-effects
of some prescription & recreational drugs include drowsiness,
disorientation and altered states of consciousness that do not support
long-term memory. While coffee may raise blood
pressure and alertness, and nicotine may help stabilize emotions for a short
time, both are addictive and neither may be available during important exams or
interviews.
Truth & Memory
Discriminate! Filter everything you see and hear with a healthy skepticism
and test new information for accuracy, relevance and consequences. This will
increase your interest and increase the likelihood that you remember chosen
information.
We welcome friendly people who are emotionally
stable. Do you want to coach people to gain clarity, dissolve emotional and
relationship blocks to success, and find their own sense of life? Do you want to
help people build and maintain quality relationships? Contact us.
