CHECKLISTING YOURSELF AS A SELF-ACTUALIZING TRAINER

A couple weeks ago I wrote about the new format for the Self-Actualization Psychology training. The title is — Seeking the Peak, or Peak for short. One of the things that I’m seeking to do with all of the trainings in the Professional Tracks is to identify key competencies and then to create specific behavioral benchmarks. The 7 competencies for self-actualization are authenticity, passion, empowerment, congruency, creativity, presence, and courage. What follows here is a set of questions about training and yourself as a trainer in terms of these seven criteria. Use it to assessment the extent to which you are moving to becoming a self-actualizing trainer.
