SMART
Course

Cultivate the Best Mental State for Optimum Brain Effectiveness

& Bring a Positive Revolution into Your Life

UCIE - UNESCO CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

A course for Professionals, HR managers, teachers, social

workers, educators and anyone working with people.

Self
Management
And
Real
Thinking
Insight 1 - Identity is innately positive and
the foundation of personal qualities,
talents and skills. When you understand
and appreciate your 'self' you start
releasing an enormous creative potential
for goodness.

What does it really mean to be smart? What is the relationship

between intelligence and the abilities to keep yourself happy,
light and meaningfully focused? Why is it that attitudes such as
acceptance, respect, emptathy, passion, patience, objectivity,
positivity and generosity are said to be some of the core
conditions required to make an individual 'intelligent'?
SMART brings an alternative approach to the outdated concept
that authentic behaviour change and performance improvement
happen through criticism, threats or incentives. The course
provides a radically positive approach to effective problems
solving. Its underlying principle is that things get much easier
when we start focusing on 'what we want' rather than on 'what
we do not want.
F Empower the positive in people rather than
trying to control or correct the negative;
F Focus on creative potentials rather than
on limitations or past failures;
F Learn faster and with less strain;
F Better Manage Stressful circumstances;
F Communicate more effectively & Think for results;
F Energize yourself by uncovering healthy positive
intention & releasing the creative power of your thoughts.
SMART is a two days seminar describing some of the
underlying principles of personal efficiency. The course
provides key insights into the brain: undoubtedly the most
powerful piece of machinery available on the planet today yet, the only one that comes without a users manual!

Insight 2 - All habits are learnt - and they

can be unlearned. To change habits is not
as difficult as it first appears: it only
requires some understanding about how
the brain works and your good intention to
become a more happy person. Everyone
can do it.
Insight 3 - People perform better when
they are happy, valued for what they are
and when they understand the meaning
of what they do. This also includes
yourself. At work as well as in the family,
the energy of respect, positivity and
purpose is a key factor that gives a
person or a team a definite edge and
drives it toward authentic success.
Insight 4 - Your best state of mind for
personal effectiveness is when you are
internally secure, relaxed and confident
yet alert, curious and challenged. How do
you cultivate such a 'state of mind'? How
do you focus on what really matters?
How do you keep yourself and others
happy, high and positively motivated?
Insight 5 - Your most valuable resource
lie in your mind. The power of inner
images, thoughts and feelings is the
greatest, yet least known energy in the
universe. Your mind is a creative
workshop in which your life is first
designed: what happens in your mind
today will happen in your life tomorrow.
Make the most of this understanding.
